this ump has no idea what is a strike and now that he's changed his zone in game he's paying for it.

well, good hustle at least.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 08:43 PM) Man Abreu is sad to watch, these are pitches he usually sends over the wall He's way off balance, no power in his lower body.

Jose's bat is so f***ing slow right now.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 07:01 PM) How have we not learned yet that nibbling is why Q is successful? IKR, I wasn't going to say anything but I mean the guy is a dominant pitcher with a 91mph heater. There is a reason he has to nibble...

pretty nasty changeups to eaton.

at least they are making him work.

Adam Eaton is your 2016 RF gold glove.

Ugh, avi and Lawrie both had some good pitches to hit and did nothing with them.

that was the pitch!

Todd locked in at the moment. What plate coverage.

this SOB is painting the corners early.

Q's fastball command is crazy. If only Danks could get some via osmosis.

Good to see RV not getting too crazy on getaway day. I like this lineup. Let's see if Avi and the bottom of the order can keep the mojo going.

let's get those brooms out! Let's go Q!

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 05:32 PM) ZIPS says our chances to win the World Series is basically the same as the Mets. I'd take it. Wow, they might actually have a good team.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 03:08 PM) The crappy teams ain't hitting either, the strong teams are just feasting. I mean, the Reds are batting Brandon Phillips as their cleanup. Count our blessings. I saw this amazing stat: entering yesterday the Braves could hit 40 homeruns in a row and not surpass the Cardinals' OPS on the year. The NL is really a joke compared to the AL.

Whatsup with Turner? They just gonna pay him 1.5million to pitch in Charlotte?

I'd say if the Sox are sitting around 55-40 in July you have to consider moving Adams if that's what it takes to get a deal done for an impact bat. Notice I said impact. Would have to be way more than just an incremental upgrade.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 01:09 PM) Ventura for manager of the year! hahn for executive of the year with a hat tip to KW for pissing off Laroche!

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 11:42 AM) What I like about it is that we're 15-6 despite not having everything go right. Many hitters are performing well below expectations (especially Abreu), and so even with inevitable regression from our pitching (Latos in particular), that could be offset by positive regression from the offense. Well, I don't think you can ask for "more to go right" then a historic start pitching and defense wise. I thought they'd be improved defensively I don't think anyone thought Adam Eaton was going to be the RF version of Alex Gordon and that the Sox would be top 3 in UZR and DRS and DER twenty games in. Hopefully regression from the pitching and defense is met with regression from Frazier's and Abreu's bats as well as a competent Avi.

This might deserve it's own thread, nice article on Sale from Schoenfield at ESPN.com

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 12:12 AM) 63% on FiveThirtyEight, best in the AL. Projections still love the Indians and their young rotation/Lindor, though. Sox have already done a helluva job "banking" extra wins against the projections. Play 1 game over from here on out and you've got yourself 86 wins. That probably has 50% of odds of being enough, and the playoff odds reflect that. What a start!

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 11:40 PM) http://gfycat.com/SlimArcticGreatargus as far as personality, Navarro >>>> Flowers. Fun guy to have on the team. Helps that he's been contributing since Avila went out.
