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????????????????

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 08:31 PM) Stop it. There are two outs, you are up by three, and it took a perfect relay to get him out. In that situation, being aggressive is fine. Well you don't want to make the 3rd out at 3rd...2 outs is a bad thing here. I get the hustle though he's trying to win the game and he thought he had it. They made a helluva relay.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 08:31 PM) Lol Eaton finally gets a good hit and then thrown out being too aggressive. Has being aggressive on the base paths benefited us yet this year? No.

I dunno man even though it was the 3rd out that is almost a tip your cap play. That said, f***.

now that is a f***ing play.

i've seen too many 3-1 popups today.

see now i would pinch hit Micah, is he injured?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 08:24 PM) There are going to be starts where guys just don't have their stuff. What Q did tonight, giving the Sox 6 innings of one run ball was fantastic. That's pretty much why he's Q and we all love the guy. He's mentally tough as well as being a pretty damn good pitcher.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 08:24 PM) I know why our fans didn't and don't sellout. But Cleveland is just as bad and they've had good teams. Some of it is the demographics I read something on it the other day. Only like 10k people live in downtown cle and I guess the transit is really bad for the burbs and outer city. Cle was giving away transit passes free this week I believe in hopes of enticing people to come.
