Moncada's swing reminds me a lot of Cano's the more I watch. A young Cano no doubt.

QUOTE (daggins @ May 7, 2017 -> 10:28 AM) Covey starts until Shields or Rodon comes back. Holland and MiGo are probably traded around the AS break. Fulmer and Lopez get the call at some point. Danish, Giolito spend the entire season at Charlotte. At some point, with all those moving parts, Covey shifts to long relief. Next year, he goes to Charlotte as depth. Need to be flexible now, not time to worry about wins. Why not piggyback Beck and Covey until one of the established guys is healthy? Wasteful, even in a rebuilding year, to trot out Covey. As discussed in the game thread the Sox have better options in guys that might actually have an mlb future.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 6, 2017 -> 10:43 PM) How does Kevan Smith hit so well in AAA and look like he's swinging a lead bat in MLB? Also, somebody needs to intervene with Hawkins. Something is wrong and somebody needs to make it stop one way or another. Bounce him over to extended spring, get him talking to somebody, understand what's going on in his head, and don't put him back in AA or A+ or anywhere else until you find a level of pitching he doesn't flounder against. He's playing way below his true talent (even if his true talent is below-average AA player) and there's no way he's in anything resembling a good place mentally. He's probably just come to the hard conclusion he's not a MLB player and has already burned through the 1.5 million or so he cleared after taxes and agent fees on his signing bonus. Hopefully he bought some land or something and not just cars and rings. Best thing he could probably do is pull a Delmonico and ask for his release. He needs a change of scenery. There's roughly only a 10% chance he ever gets a MLB AB, but that chance is about zero percent as a Sox.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 6, 2017 -> 08:49 PM) Asche homered. Let's sign that guy to a long term deal he went from asche, to classy?

Whoever is doing the intro/outro beds on CSN Chicago this year is killin' it. Some really great tracks, mostly 90's pop stuff.

Covey starts are pointless.

good job with 2 strikes Avi.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2017 -> 09:34 PM) A team that throws at hitters against a team that tries to hurt the pitcher. Clearly the solution is No Fans Allowed V2.0 ha you beat me to it.

Garcia has saved 2 runs with his arm.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2017 -> 08:40 PM) Awful, pitch wasn't even close AB was lost on all those fouled off fastball middle in.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 5, 2017 -> 08:35 PM) Looks like that day off has helped Timmy mentally. sarcasm? He had a brain fart earlier.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2017 -> 08:31 PM) Melky is quietly off to a brutal start. Expected a lot more for him in a contract year He's too reliant on batting average for value and he's just older now.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2017 -> 08:25 PM) So offense is taking off every other game? need someone other than Avi of Jose to hit a ball hard.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 5, 2017 -> 08:26 PM) Scheduled for tomorrow it appears thank goodness.

QUOTE (Donaldo @ May 5, 2017 -> 08:11 PM) Looks like Lopez was a scratch. Cory Luebke pitching for the Knights. Tanner Banks getting hit hard. great, he's injured too?

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 5, 2017 -> 08:07 PM) Jose Abreu looks really good. Too many here had given up on getting stuff back for him. If he hits for a 900 OPS he's a 3.5 WAR player. Let's see him do it.

This guy looks pretty good, fml.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 5, 2017 -> 07:42 PM) Shoddy defense by Anderson gave The O's that run a mental error, which is inexcusable seeings how all he had to know was look to his left before the pitch.

all this because of TAs moronic play.

WTF is TA doing. Needs to get his head out of his ass, ASAP.

O's broadcast no velocity and no pitch cast. Lame.

He Gawn! Great start to the series, way to hit it hard boys.

Damn!

Guess he's going to try and keep going.

there's no way he can keep pitching after it swells up.
