De Aza'd

Danks got four outs that inning. The defense just wasn't there.

Of course that is what happened.

QUOTE (OilCan @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 02:50 PM) It's not foolish. Hopefully, he's starting to figure things out and finally bringing it all together. He is a guy who has missed a ton of developmental time. He was a part time baseball player through college, then he had the catastrophic injury which basically cost him two years of developmental time. I am not going to say it is happening for sure, but to say he is the typical 25 year old minor leaguer is not accurate.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 01:54 PM) The bases and mound are what bother me most. These kids are way too good to be playing with 60' bases and a 46' mound. It's the bases that get me the most. The game isn't set up for the best. It is set up for the 99.9% of the rest.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 01:33 PM) The 21-year-old Cuban is not a cost-controlled prospect — there’s an opt-out clause that would make him eligible for arbitration after three years service time, but both sides would be thrilled if it came to that. In any case, there’s incentive for the Cubs to develop him quickly in order to make sure the bulk of those nine years are spent at the highest level. Chicago was smart to make such a long-term investment in Soler — it gives them a little developmental cushion. Okay, just don't know why Rozner and Abbatacola wouldn't know this or mention it. Probably because they don't know it.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 12:09 PM) Let the investigation take it's course. Lighting very bad and guy had a dark race suit and on right side of those type cars you cannot really see out very well. Guy had no business leaving his car. The title of this thread needs to be changed it is per speculation. That is why it has this at the end -> ?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 12:04 PM) So low A pitcher don't have to clear waivers? If they are not on the 40 man roster... no.

Hopefully Robin criticizes them for a being a 3rd rate show that didn't even happen until the first and second string talent started leaving the station.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 10:31 AM) Rules change suggested for NASCAR (and theoretically lower-tier circuits). Get out of your car on the track, throw a helmet/wrench/hammer in the pits or at another car, etc. 1) 3-5 race suspension 2) $250,000 fine That would seemingly end 95% of it. FWIW, hockey has a first on the ice rule for fights. If you leave the bench for a fight, you get an automatic 10 game suspension. That's why no one leaves the bench.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 09:38 AM) You don't think it is coincidental that his car accelerates at the same time we hear an engine throttle up, at the same time we see his car fishtail? From that video, I can't see it.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 09:18 AM) You're right, odd that it happened at the same time he struck the kid. Im not even saying it didn't happen that way, I just don't see anything clear cut from that little bit. I can't see the car until it is pretty much on top of his, so I can't tell if it does accelerate or not. All I can see is it get sideways when it hits the kid, probably from the kid dragging knocking the car to the side. The engine noise is tough to place in this shot.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 09:07 AM) Turn the volume up. I did, definitely heard the throttle accelerate right as Stewart hit the kid. Not to say that he did it on purpose, but maybe as others have said to scare him, but he definitely sped up. I'm not sure that is his engine. There are how many other cars on the track. Tons of ambient noise at a place like that. Considering that the camera is pointed across to the far side of the track, there is a really good chance that the mic is picking up a car on the near side of the track, much closer to the camera.

Yeah, you can't tell anything from that video.

Soxtalk needs to stop crushing on failed 4A players because of their AAA stats.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 9, 2014 -> 12:53 PM) Ideally, the core players of the future will keep improving and playing well, while the guys who aren't coming back move us up in the draft order. Yeah for my two cents, it would be much more valuable for the young core to keep moving forward, than to lose games because those guys sucked and get a better pick. It would leave Hahn to wonder who he could count on for 2015.

QUOTE (QuickJones81 @ Aug 9, 2014 -> 11:56 AM) I don't pay attention to high school. Do you see the same disparity between offense and pitching there? Offense is concentrated into a very few psychically mature players. Most guys can't hit homers at that level.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 9, 2014 -> 01:57 PM) I think they call them slumps. Rumor has it every hitter gets them. Except he really isn't slumping. He is still getting his hits.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 9, 2014 -> 10:50 AM) I love the people that say that if the Sox had a better bullpen they'd be contending. It's not just the bullpen. 2/5 of the starting rotation is comprised of Scott Carroll and Hector Noesi. Alejandro De Aza, Gordon Beckham, and Dayan Viciedo have gotten significant at bats. Paul Konerko is on the f***ing team. Those are other reasons why this team isn't very good. What more should Rick have done for the bullpen? This thread is madness. I love the idea that somehow a GM would be able to turn over something like 18 to 20 players on a roster in under a year.

QUOTE (sammy esposito @ Aug 8, 2014 -> 10:59 PM) roster goes to 40 in September. The 40 man roster is also full.
