Stone and Hawk jesus get off your f***ing knees below Beckham. Never seen a 1 WAR player treated with such nut riding. He's had a nice start to the season jesus. It happens. It's called SSS.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 01:26 PM) Reading the game thread I would think Samardjiza was having an awful game. He is. He is lucky that the wind knocked down Miggy's HR and that more of his meatballs haven't found holes. Could easily be 4-1.

meatball city

can't keep making mistakes and not expect that.

edit: f***.

good job gordon.

god f***ing damnit I want Sanchez EVERY DAY at 2B THE REST OF THE YEAR. f*** it dude WE NEED DEFENSE AT 2B.

this team sucks

why keep bunting against price? He's a helluva athlete probably one of the worst guys to try against in all of MLB.

I would very much enjoy a laffer, blowout win today.

walks beckham lol.

Beckham is getting way too many damn PA.

Mancrush on Avi activated.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 12:26 PM) Who has called him an ace? Mostly ignorant media and cubs fans to be fair.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 12:21 PM) he better turn it around, and quick. he's playing for millions and millions of dollars. he simply can't have a down year. The dirty little secret on Shark is that he's not an ace, and if you look at his saber stats, you could make an argument he's a decent 2nd, good 3rd. I hope he walks personally and Sox pocket the pick. That said, I hope he has a massive year for the Sox an and leads them to a WS victory before then.

Abreu looks pretty quick. Hopefully his bat starts to come around he's proving he can be an average MLB defensive 1B.

f*** this s*** man.

nice play jose.

turn the audio back off CSN this Tigers dick sucking contest is making me nauseous.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 12:13 PM) This should be the last game of this 1-2 if they struggle again. Got to find a way to get some runners on for the middle of the order. Really? It's not like the bottom of the lineup is tearing it up. If Eaton and Melky and Jose don't f***ing hit it's going to be a very long year. Just a disheartening f***ing start man. Those three have been brutal. Eaton and Melky especially. At least Jose has a couple bombs.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 16, 2015 -> 09:20 PM) With rodon's motion he most likely will always have inconsistent command. Hopefully they can refine it some. as long as he works mostly in the strike zone it should't matter but he can't be walking and hitting guys that's for sure.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 16, 2015 -> 07:20 PM) And this is exactly why you have him AAA for the next month or so, at the very least. Let him continue to work on refining his pitches, there is zero rush to get him on the MLB roster right now, aside from us (fans) wanting to see him ASAP. Yea I'd like to see him get at least 80 innings in AAA before they bring him up. Don't do something drastic as a short term fix when the long term (him learning to command his fastball and work in the change when the games don't count) is incredibly more important. That said, Danks and Noesi -- step it up the f*** up. Especially Noessi, who has stuff but needs to find his release point consistently. Danks isn't working with much and who can blame him. Not much faith in either of those guys but you know whatever if they aren't good they aren't good Rodon's decision is more about him then them -- as it should be.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 07:17 PM) Gillaspie has the worst fielding percentage in baseball. Why hasn't Robin taught him to play 3B? The bullpen has been striking out everyone, Coop's of the best. Catch anything?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 05:11 PM) It's not even a lack of talent that is costing us defensively. This isn't a guy not getting to a ball he should have. These are fundamental mistakes that basically every professional ballplayer should be making, and if he isn't making, he can practice making them until he consistently does make them. However, for more than 2 full seasons, our players have not been making them. This extends to situational hitting and base running too. These are not talent issues; these are cultural issues. Sticky this post.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 04:32 PM) So in other words, the Sox are short on talent and it was a waste of time trading for Samardzija, and signing Cabrera and Robertson. Great. Talent has little to do with many of the errors we've seen today and over Robin's tenure. The players come and go, the mistakes are mostly the same -- mental.
