Betances pitches an awful lot. Considering the Yankees aren't contending, you would think Girardi would dial it back a bit on one of his best relievers Yea I know they could make the wildcard, but this team isn't winning anything

Haha lindstrom warming. The end

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 02:29 PM) Nieto struggling of late Inconsistent playing time will do that

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 02:27 PM) Hawk seems to think it was because how many times we have been screwed by the home plate rule. Makes the catchers think way too much Even so, he was in position and he just let it skip past him. Didn't seem like he was blocking the plate to me

QUOTE (lord chas @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 02:25 PM) Nice for the Bears or Packers? Raji has a career -19 rating from PFF and hasn't had a sack since 2011. There is a reason he attracted no free agent interest this past off-season. He is a space eater though, he makes it easier for Mathews to run around unchecked

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 02:23 PM) WTH Nieto? No s***, what the f*** was that

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 02:13 PM) Raji out for the season... Nice Terrible for him on a prove-it year

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 01:42 PM) We should have walk prado but robin dont have a f***ing clue how too manage. Look, Robin has made a lions share of mistakes, but your hindsight saying that he should walk Prado to load the bases with one out in a 1-1 game is wrong.

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 01:40 PM) U shouldn't walk prado would been double play there. They didn't walk Prado, he hit a 2 RBI double

Thanks for that Alejandro

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 01:00 AM) Good. Let him sink with that ship. No kidding, let those contracts hamstring that team for the next couple years

QUOTE (The Wiz @ Aug 23, 2014 -> 01:09 AM) I don't think anyone is saying Nava is blocking anyone for the Red Sox. However, I do think it is silly to just think of him as a write off and nothing but a AAAA player. The guy has a good eye and you have to love his work ethic and passion for baseball. And considering he was able to produce a .800 ops season as recently as last year and owns a career .360+ OBP over the course of the past 4 (albeit it has only been really only 1 full season he has played in the big leagues) suggests that he has some talent and hitting ability. I'd much rather take a chance on him in LF next year than another year of De Aza and Viciedo. AAAA = too good for the minors but not good enough to be a consistent starting MLB player. His passion and work ethic have nothing to do with it, the guy is on the wrong side of 30 and as you noticed he only has one full season under his belt despite being in the majors for parts of 4 seasons. It is what it is, Nava has a nice stroke but there is a reason why he isn't starting full time on this terrible Boston team with bad outfield play all around him. this season. And saying you would rather take a chance on him than De Aza or Viciedo isn't exactly a glowing endorsement

I know this question probably transcends baseball and is more into politics, but Cubano do you think Cuba will get to the point that the teams will be negotiating with MLB teams in posting system similar to Japan? At some point Cuba is going to want to start getting something for their players instead of watching them walk away and defect

Cutler wasn't ready for that snap

Maybe Trestman can fire Decamillis and Tucker in his first round of cuts

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 10:02 PM) Bears real bad on defense.

Alshon has to catch that

Special Teams, stop sucking

Sanchez says "bacon what"

I hope Bears WRs vs Seattle CBs is fun tonite

Danks is like "Oh yea green? Check this out!"

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 06:18 PM) Avi just missed that. Wow. Dunn but a good swing on it too, Green looks like he is throwing BP so far. Need to rough him up and avoid their pen

damn. Q-ed

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 02:52 PM) Me either, but I guess we will now get to see for ourselves. Not sure what we have gained if he can't hit, but I am sure someone will say MONEY Im sure you will get over his overrated defense and bad offense at some point. Probably when his replacement does better than him

QUOTE (Lillian @ Aug 22, 2014 -> 03:21 PM) You're funny. No, I'm not obsessed with "lefthandedness". I'm simply pointing out that Sanchez is hitting over 100 points higher as a left handed batter. Does that not suggest to you that he might not be the switch hitter, he apparently aspires to be? If it were me, and I were hitting .325 from the left side, and only .222 from the right side, I might be inclined to see if I could do a little better vs. lefties, by just staying on the left side of the plate. I have no idea how he has done in his brief career, prior to this season, but that is a pretty dramatic split, wouldn't you say? Remember what happened when Jose Valentin tried to stay on one side of the plate? There is one thing you arent taking into account here, Sanchez never faces lefties when he hits from the left side of the plate. His BA from the right side of the plate may be bad, but he could be a black hole facing lefties from the left side of the plate because he simply hasnt done it in his career. Just telling a guy to go do something like that isnt as simple as it sounds.
