Now the longest thread of 2011

I'll take that.

Is GIDP too much to ask for?

Bad idea Omar

Just don't tell BS that...

Humber out to the pen per Stoney

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 11:28 PM) have the sox already used harrell? Maybe in Charlotte

Any chance at Jagr for the Hawks?

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 11:21 PM) Crain faced 2 batters too many in that inning. He should've been pulled when he got the 2nd out, but Ozzie didn't have anybody ready yet in the bullpen Beyond that, it's unreal how often the pitchers on this team screw the offense over in extra innings. Every damn time we score runs, the pitchers just give it right back. We have exactly one pitcher left.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 11:19 PM) Who, exactly, would we call up that doesn't suck? Dallas McPherson.

I have the feeling this game will define the season. This is twice we have rallied, and then twice we have served it up. Can we recover?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 08:55 PM) What happened on the Dunn deep fly out? Bernadina stole a homer and probably won the web gems.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 08:51 PM) Viciedo has a very strong arm. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 08:52 PM) His arm is a cannon. We saw at least one awesome assist in the spring. I don't know how consistently accurate he is though but he can fire it. QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 08:52 PM) Viciedo is supposed to have a cannon It is supposed to be in the 75 to 80 range.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 08:50 PM) Hes been much more in control today though despite the velocity. His velocity was much lower during the first few innings. Seemed like he was sitting 94-95 with the heat, and spotting it pretty well. Slider was in the 87-89 range, and he even mixed in the curve a couple of times.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 08:49 PM) I was about to open a beer right before reading this... glad I didn't. This monitor is brand new, and it hasn't been baptized yet. Damn. I thought I had that one timed out.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 08:46 PM) Tasing. Mostly tasing. Well I was thinking he would billy club guys, but most likely he would try bunting and fail.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 08:45 PM) Edwin hit 99 on the radar on that little duck snort. Sure would be nice to see him consistently pitch like this for the rest of the year. Edwin doesn't need to overthrow to be effective. In fact that is when he is most while. He is a guy who would be much better at 95 with tons of movement.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 08:08 PM) Reality show pitch? You know there would be some police brutality.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 08:09 PM) Early to say that, but there are guys worth following in rookie leagues. Rookie leagues are very difficult to project from. Have we had many guys come through that route in the last few years?

Nice Fail from the scoreboard on the top of the site Pitching: Edwin Jackson At Bat: Juan Pierre

Someone probably playing next year in the Jrs I take it?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 08:22 PM) Brouwer to the Capitals for the 26th pick. Wow. That's higher than I would have thought.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 07:07 PM) There's mixed reports. Some say he was asked last night to waive his NTC and he said no. Others say he never declined anything. Others are saying that there a numerous teams in play, including the Canucks. So this could really be happening? Holy crap

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 07:02 PM) Those comparing Mirotic to Kukoc are extremely mistaken and simply making the comparison based on his height and location of the world he comes from. His game is much more comparable to Bargnani. Kukoc didn't have nearly the outside jumper that Mirotic has. He's a legit 6'10 and has room to grow in his frame. Unlike a lot of international players who get drafted, this guy actually plays quality minutes and is insanely efficient. And he's a Croat, so that's not even bias talking there...

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 02:27 PM) We had some talks about Carlos Sanchez a couple days ago. 18 year old 3B with great discipline numbers in the DSL last year and off to a solid start this year. Euclides Leyer, a SP, is also 18 and had a strong debut for Bristol with no strikeouts or walks. Jean Duque also had a strong DSL background, but is making his US debut at 21 so who knows. Daurys Mercedes had a strong year in the DSL in '09, but might be a bit old now. All four of these guys are in Bristol, which is a pretty decent team to follow prospect wise. So is our latin pipeline actually starting to work again?
