QUOTE (rockren @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 10:06 PM) My son was a bat boy for the Brewers today. He said everyone in the dugout called Lopez nasty- he blew Braun away on three pitches during Braun's 1st AB I believe. My son said Braun said to him as he was in the hole awaiting his 2nd AB, something along the lines of, "the way he's throwing I'm just going to have to hope he misses off-speed and find a way to get on base." Braun walked after a great AB. Lopez was absolutely dominant today. Good posts here and in the other thread. Thanks for sharing and congrats to your family on the memorable experiences!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 06:28 PM) Puke. Bud is so so bad. Looks like I have to walk further to get a beer. Hopefully they still have coors in the corner. I don't understand how anyone likes any mass scale commercial American beer. It all tasted like piss to me when I drank. Craft beers, German beers, Belgian beers, Japanese beers, Spanish beers, hell - even Mexican beers all trump piss like Bud or Coors or Miller. Back in my hay day thou, the bees knees was a pack of smokes and a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue. Edit: Don't get me wrong, when I was drinking and all that was available was ( anything ) I'd drink it... even if it was a bunch of flat day old warm bud light in dozens of half drank red plastic party cups.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 07:43 PM) Because they have no need for a closer for 2/3 more years and the shelf life of closers is notoriously short. I'm sure they won't trade him, but I think they should consider it He can be a valuable member of the pen until 2022. If a deal akin to the Cueto / Hamelton deal came along, then sure. That said, he's one of the least likely players we trade.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 07:34 PM) They wont anyway. He's a cost-controlled back of the pen guy that wants to be in Chicago. He's here for awhile. What will be interesting is if they keep him there or try to make him a starter. Personally I think he's a set up guy or closer for the long haul. I've read muy quotes from Sox brass and Burdi himself that make him out to be a reliever. Couple that with his use this spring and the path is pretty clear.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 07:10 PM) They need to move him. There is not near enough talent in this organization yet to contend. Maybe Hahn can produce a miracle trading Frazier, Robertson and Jones, but I doubt it. And if Burdi pitches to his spring training reviews, he should be moved too. Why the f*** would we trade Burdi?

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 04:59 PM) I think him staying under 65 pitches did something. Any idea what something is?

Bwhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

What a difference a pitcher makes.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 04:43 PM) Wow that was one hell of a performance from Quintana. I love that guy and don't want to see him go When he does go it'll be for a massive haul - that'll pad the sting. He's the only Buehrle pupil left.

Too bad - but oh well.

Dudes putting on a clinic.

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 04:36 PM) C'mon, you don't remember when Buehrle used to get shelled on occasion people used to type MBINAA, which meant that Buehrle is not an ace? You've been here long enough to know that. I was highly intoxicated on a daily basis between 2003 and 2006.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 04:35 PM) Jose Quintana is not an ace. Born out of MBINAA. Right now it's hard to tell if Cashman, Huntington and Lunhow are excited or mad. I thought it was another millennial thingy that I missed

Out runs Q

Beautiful pitch to start Adam Jones off.

QUOTE (Nokona @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 03:38 PM) Q walks Goldy but talk about getting squeezed... Yea... questionable call but then got a double play and a pop up

Hurumph
