QUOTE (1dog @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 04:14 PM) He also leaves his foot on the bag too long after he catches the ball, looking like he's going to pull something. I'm not sure why anyone hasn't told him this. Watch some Mark Grace video, pronto. I was always taught, all the way through low level college, that you want to position your heel on the bag on most plays.

Why does Jose have his entire foot on the bag? That's not the best technique in the world.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 03:57 PM) Jeez, have a day Moises. Might have found a nice little bench piece in him, and he's really seemed to fit well into the clubhouse. It's a little frustrating that Viciedo continues to get the vast majority of the starts. Be better to find out more about what they have in Moises.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 03:51 PM) Sox bullpen ERA = 3.89 Addison Reed ERA = 3.95 So yeah, I can see how the Sox would be so many games better by adding a guy with a 3.95 ERA to a bullpen with a 3.89 ERA Not to mention Reed pitches in a kinder park and league.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 03:46 PM) Trolls gonna troll Your response was kinder than mine.

Once Garcia comes back Viciedo needs to be the odd man out no doubt. I wouldn't even play him over Moises.

mlb.tv just s*** the bed on anyone else, damnit.

PH Dunn Robin. This is a high leverage spot. edit: Conor works as well.

adam eaton is the f***ing man.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 03:23 PM) LMAO. Textbook which you referred as awful. Sigh. Please don't take what I said out of f***ing context like you do everything else. It was a throwaway freaking comment mostly based on how John Danks is throwing BP. It's pretty textbook to favor that matchup with a dangerous righty and 1st open. The way John was pitching my gut said no matter how good the platoon matchup Avila would make him pay. Well Danks made 3 good pitches and got out of it big f***ing deal either way. Good god man.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 03:17 PM) Outmanaged by Robin Ventura on Soxtalk. The shame. haha. A huge data point of one AB. Seriously though it was a textbook move. I probably would have removed Danks instead of putting another guy on but it worked out.

well it worked out, Danks made good pitches.

Imma go on the record and say this is an awful move by Robin. We'll see how it plays out.

Jesus, Viciedo, what a bum.

Viciedo can't even hit LHP anymore, he's useless. Kinda pissed none of these guys are looking like they are getting moved. All of them are dead weight, Dunn, Viciedo, Danks, Beckham.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 02:55 PM) Eaton single-Alexei DP-Abreu double Just waiting for the Tank strikeout to complete the superfecta Here it comes.

Sick of seeing Jose hitting with nobody on thanks to Alexei, move him down Robin.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 02:52 PM) F off Alexei.. 3 DPs in 2 days.. What is the point of Eaton getting on base if you are going to ground into a DP every time Batting Ramirez 2nd is retarded in the first place.

jesus, rocket after rocket.

How much do the Sox pay the BP pitcher? 80k a year? Just fire him and let Danks do it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 02:33 PM) It is a part of the same contract strategy. The Sox like to lock up young pitching before it hits the market. I remember them trying to lock him down years before he signed the 5/65 deal. Sometimes it works really well, sometimes it doesn't. If Danks doesn't have the surgery, I think this contract is a bargain too. For sure, post surgery he's not the same guy, oh well, is what it is. I just wish the silly wishcasting about how he's magically going to go back to being that solid 3rd starter he was pre-injury can finally be put to bed. In like 200 post surgery innings nothing stands out except "5th starter stuff and results".

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 02:28 PM) Makes me sad thinking of how players like Hammel wait until after getting traded to s*** the bed but our schmucks unload their logs all over the linen right at the worst possible time Dunn did alright this week.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 02:27 PM) Danks is a 5th starter at this point. I am sick of the defenders. Agree, he's a 5th starter getting paid like a 3. Kinda stinks he didn't get moved today.

good decision by Ventura to start Kong today, rare time when small sample size matters. now 9-12 career against Smyly.

LOL, where is that guy that was saying Danks is a solid 3rd starter? Regression, thy name is John Danks. One of the worst starters in baseball this year.
