this guy sands has a decent jib.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 09:06 PM) He came in on defense either last inning or the 7th I really don't like defensive replacements earlier than the 9th. Conor is a good hitter and forces the Tribe to try and have a lefty face him. Why not let him hit then insert Gordon for the 9th? Oh well I will stop 2nd guessing for this game.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 09:05 PM) It seems like Robin is always going to find an AB for Beckham you can cay that again. the orgs hard on for these guys beckham and hinrich is inexplicable. It's not like another team wanted him the Angels saw enough...

the f*** did beckham get a PA for. Micah exists.

omg cookie slider after seeing better and another pop fly.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 09:02 PM) He throws out of both slots. I don't know if you noticed. In the AB against Kipnis, his first few pitches were all out of 3/4. He went side-arm for 2 straight sliders and Kipnis probably read that and didn't even bother to swing. Good thing he made a great pitch on 3-2. yea i read quite a bit on him when he signed. It's even better he switches. I'm a fan of Duke his saber stats and the scouting align. Maybe Sale was inspired he did some weird varying motion the other day!

SIT THE f*** DOWN YEA

jesus cle crew don't even know about his arm slot change. do the least bit of research guys.

this guy is like the junk baller you make on MLB the show. And he throws from a funky angle. No wonder he had success last year. Another good signing.

kkkkkkkkkk

It feels really nice hearing "David Robertson is their closer" and the Cle guys get a little depressed. f*** yea, we have a very good closer.

nasty from duke

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 08:53 PM) Avi showing nice balance at the plate yea that was a very nice cut -- stayed inside the ball the whole way and got a helluva lot more barrel on it then I think most thought when he hit it. Carried well onto the warning track.

oh avi, get that bat just a bit quicker buddy...

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 08:46 PM) Defensive and baserunning woes continue. It's a miracle we're probably going to be 3-4 with the way we're not clicking on ANY cylinders. Luckily for Carrasco, only a contusion/bruise....not a broken cheekbone. talent papers over a lot of mistakes. maybe this crew has a bit more than we thought. that said lets not start sucking each others dicks yet this game is far from over.

cabrera certainly looks like a live bat. Crouch stance almost.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 08:44 PM) Base running can be blamed on being too aggressive. The errors are a lack of execution. Major league teams need to make the routine plays. It was really poor footwork from Ramirez I think his days of getting away with that kinda thing might be numbered. That was a tough pick for Jose certainly not a shorthop. That said, LaRoche might have made the play. Get him some innings there.

Duke and Jennings deserve steak dinners for their work the last two games.

good f***ing job jennings.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 08:42 PM) Jennings had the out. Alexei had a bad throw. Jennings has done a nice job.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 08:42 PM) Christ Alexei throw the ball, hose the f***ing ball over there. He's getting old, tragically. 5 years ago yea, he would have, even flat footed.

jesus christ saw that coming a mile away.

OK Robin find a matchup please. We do have other guys, some of which throw right handed, down in the pen. There was an off day yesterday... and no Jennings stays in. WTF man.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 08:37 PM) Sorry, wasn't directed totally at you. I guess I just haven't had a problem with the aggression so far. I usually side with the Earl Weaver school of thought in most cases, but I just got so sick of watching this team the last 6-8 years of plodding baseball. It was refreshing to hear and see a different approach, and an approach Sox fans aren't used to. With aggression is going to come risk, and fans need to get used to it. The Sox also need to be better about their decision making, but over a 162 game season, I like the idea of putting a lot more pressure on teams defense. Other view is that bad baserunning is bad baserunning. making the 3rd out at 3rd with the heart of the order due up and getting picked off (hi Micah) aren't being "aggressive" it's being stupid. That said, I take the middle view. It's fine, but ffs start to clean in it up.

wow can the Sox find a scrap heap pen guy that's actually decent????????????????
