QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2017 -> 06:51 PM) Q with poor fastball command again. Throwing a ton of pitches Yea I jinxed him.

Avi Garcia is hitting 342/384/555 on 6/22 and Kyle Schwarber is a minor leaguer. Funny game, baseball.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2017 -> 06:37 PM) Definitely can be a 4th outfielder with his defense and speed At least the Sox finally have a 4th OF that can play a good CF. I've always believed that's the main criteria.

Nice to see Q hitting 95 and his spots early with his fastball.

Damn! Deepest part of the park holds it.

Nice looping throw Dozier, you loser.

f***ing ump why would you give him that corner?

At least our s***ty starters can throw a breaking ball over the plate on occasion, even it usually goes 400+ feet.

This is fun.

Wow.

God I'm sick of replay. Never, ever f***ing helps the Sox only hurts them.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 22, 2017 -> 03:17 PM) Braved the rain for about 2.5 hours. Decided I may as well go back to work for a couple hours since I have a softball game at 630. They'll definitely get this game in, first pitch just probably wont be until 5. wow. What is even the point. On getaway day too.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 22, 2017 -> 12:46 PM) He'll improve. I've always felt he's going to be more of a league average player with a few above average seasons at peak rather than any kind of star. I don't see any reason to be down on him based on this year, though. His comp remains Alexei 100%. We are basically watching a 23 year old Alexei imo. Rough around the edges, can't walk for s***, but solid raw power and incredible defensive tools. Anybody that says they don't "remember" TAs defense last year is crazy. He made so many crazy plays ranging to his right, including that one incredible play he made on the popup in shallow left where he outran everybody. He was +11 runs by Fangraphs metric for a reason.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Jun 22, 2017 -> 01:10 PM) Anyone hear anything yet on the time? Just keep an eye out here: https://twitter.com/Twins?ref_src=twsrc%5Eg...7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

Tim Anderson was worth 2.2 fWAR last year in 2/3 of a season. He's at -.2 fWAR this year. He's in his age 23 season and has been playing baseball full time for 4 years. Ups and downs are to be expected. It's a rebuilding year. Let him take his lumps. It's not like these errors are costing the Sox a chance at the pennant. This team has much bigger problems going forward than SS. Finding a rotation and outfield are among them.

No update on twins twitter at the moment.

lol, the ump was personally invested in that meeting. So was his wife.

Ugly ass throw from Narvaez, bad mechanics, bad throw.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jun 21, 2017 -> 09:38 PM) Whole inning was really ugly after Davidson fouled off his foot, everyone swung at straight trash Dude you read my mind. That was 2015 Sox offense up there. Just awful.

TA was elite last year defensively is his 90 or whatever games. He's regressed big time. It's fine though, only way he's going to learn to deal with the speed of MLB is on job learning. I don't think AAA hitters hit the ball hard enough consistently to challenge him, hence hte poor fundamentals. The ball he missed is a ball you have to get in front of and knock down if nothing else. Can't let it get by you with an ole.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 21, 2017 -> 09:11 PM) Stonehands Anderson His hands are fine. Get in the front of the f***ing ball.

Come on Anderson. Use good fundamentals. That's just s*** technique.

wow, more great defense.

Bunting is stupid. Thanks for the out, losers.

that was right down the middle, wtf.
