Dick Allen

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:21 PM) wtf where is DUnn! Watching Paulie tie the game.

Not bad for a mascot.

QUOTE (1dog @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:19 PM) Ya know what I'd do? Bat him second in the lineup. Just no f***ing clue. There was a lefty starter. Take at look at his splits vs. LHP.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:17 PM) Well Gordon is really dialed in. Only up from here right Dick Allen? He is pulling his front shoulder. He will start hitting again.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:13 PM) He's a starter. He was doing well as a starter. We decided to make him a reliever. It was dumb and we're paying for it He is like many non top prospect pitchers, minor league starters who have to spend some time in the bullpen. If he can't handle it, he can go sell cars.

I think Guerra has fanned the last 5 he's faced.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:09 PM) Because he is the only lefty we got and we are playing the twins... He sucks. I am just giving Feeky some crap. He is a Surkamp fan.

Why is Surkamp being used in hugh leverage situations?

I think he was safe.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 09:02 PM) Johnson walked 3 guys in the 4th. Just shut him down already. What would that accomplish?

Abreu OPS 1.001

If there are 2 outs and the bases aren't full, I think I would have them walk Abreu even if it puts another runner is scoring position.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 08:48 PM) Abreu has reached base in 8 straight PA That's Flowers-esque

It's sit with Hawk and me, not Hawk and I Steve.

People need to get it in their heads, Robin doesn't have a TV in the dugout. He is told when to challenge.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 08:23 PM) Should have been challenged. That wasn't control at all, not with the foot on the bag. I agree. It looked like it was out before he was on the bag.

I would have challenged that. It looked like the ball was coming out.

If Beckham threw home there would be a man on first one out and the score would be the same. If you have a DVR check it out.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 08:12 PM) Wow, quite the meltdown for Sale. He keeps overthrowing everything tonight, and has no command. All this after what should have been a double play and no runs scored in the inning. He has to pitch over it. It should have been at least stopped if not a DP, but that ball was smoked.

1st major league hit.

What are the odds Suzuki sucks next year?

Sox score, Sale gives at least one back. f*** you Robin.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 07:44 PM) Popping out to 2nd is getting in front of it? He jammed himself broham. I thought the discussion was his foulball. That is what you replied to.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 07:34 PM) Yea it was a hanging breaking ball. His swing is so damn long that instead of pulling it and ripping it he drops his back shoulder and makes contact with the ball when it's already out of the prime hitting zone. He was out in front of it.

If first base is open, Abreu is probably going to get walked every time now.
