QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 08:35 PM) His behavior is fine he's a little too obsessed with my posts for my liking. If you can't b**** about Robin in a game thread then yea, this isn't going to work. anyways, I'm done here tonight have fun boys.

gotta do something better than that with that cookie Avi. and strikes out. So predicable.

Not a fan of how Flowers sets up behind the plate.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 08:28 PM) Sox just seem so flat, and KC seems energized Helps when you battle and hit line drives to seem "energized". Then again, Robin has the energy of an obese 80 year old so maybe something needs to change.

what a s*** start to the year.

Imagine how f***ing tired Stone is of him.

lol! You guys I was thinking the same damn thing about Hawk. You know it's bad when 3 people on a die hard board are complaining in the first inning.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 08:25 PM) No need to hit Cain there def don't think he was trying -- ball was inside but cain f***ing could have done a better job of getting out of the way.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 08:23 PM) Eaton needs to make that play. pretty poor jump it seemed. that said that ball was crushed.

this f***ing guy man.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 08:22 PM) His little rocker step hesitation I think really helps keep hitters off his fastball Yea I agree it's quite deceptive.

damn jose flashing the leather.

Lol Hawk saying "get foul" on a ball the camera director didn't think was close enough to even show.

I love watching Q pitch for the most part he attacks and works quickly. Love how he pounds the zone with that 90-93mph fastball. Not a nibbler even though he doesn't rush it up there and he chances speeds well enough to make it seem quicker.

Feels like this division might have the best SP in baseball.

So we're going to platoon Conor but not Laroche? Makes zero sense other than hurting LaRoche's feels.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 08:08 PM) Mob.com game of the day. Why Beckham and not bonifacio? Gordon's 0-6 against him won the day. Plus he's a great clubhouse guy you know can't help but throw him a bone once and awhile.

holy f*** who eats french fries with a fork and hormel chilli. Baseball fans apparently.

anyone use MLB.tv via chromecast? I just ordered one hoping it works better than Roku / Xbox.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 07:49 PM) Seriously, how is he not playing 2B? ventura'ed

Oh good Beckham is playing.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 01:02 PM) Being a mod is supposed to neuter me from having an opinion? I am not sure that's how it works. This a forum site. The whole motor for a forum site is people of similar interests having an opinion and having difference in opinions. If having an opinion makes me an antagonist than yes, I am an antagonist. That seems like a cop out. I'd prefer to talk about whatever topic at hand rather than getting personal. For whatever reason you deleted the post, but if it were still here we could down the road. So you make the argument I have bolded above, but your initial post was very different. The first half of your post was about the Sox game and what you saw from Samardzija and it turned into a validation of your opinion that he shouldn't be signed longterm. Now if you made the argument bolded on Sunday, I would have never responded. I really love this conspiracy theory that I deleted the post. I spent like 10 minutes on the original post because I was bored and wanted something to talk about with our last night posters. Anyone that was on last night around 9pm PST can tell you it was laggy as all hell. I would go to edit and have to come back 2 minutes later for the changes to stick. The server was timing out. The original post was meant to just spark conversation on the off day. We have one day of baseball we might as well react. Anyone that thinks I was shipping Shark out of town based on one game doesn't know my posting history well at all. This place is generally pretty drama free the idea that I deleted my post based on criticism is laughable. I already ditched SSS because of all the stupid posters that hang on every word and refuse to use context, please don't turn Soxtalk into one of those places.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 7, 2015 -> 10:56 AM) I happened to see it before it was swallowed and it was a doozy. Basically, after watching half of yesterday's game, chitownsportsfan is very comfortable letting Samardzija walk into FA. How are you a mod you have a lot of antagonistic posts. Seeing what Porcello just got you really think Chicago is going to sign Shark for under $20 million AAV? It's hardly about his one start and more about his history which by and large suggests a solid 3rd starter that if you squint hard enough you can see a decent 2nd starter. He's not an ace and another non ace just got over $20 million a year. Hard to see how the Sox can make it work in this climate for SP extensions.

Soxtalk was lagging hard last night was editing and post was swallowed. Oh well.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 09:16 PM) On the plus side, we can back off the Samardzija for $105-120 million extension talk for at least a week. Yea after what Porcello just got (granted he's much younger but they are similar types, not aces by any stretch) I really think that door might be closing. If he leaves he nets a comp pick anyways, right?
