No Moncada today.

This is sick. I can't believe how sloppy and bad they look. They are getting decent puck possession, but not setting up any good chances. Maybe that's more credit to Nashville not letting them get in open ice, but it feels like everything is rushed and sloppy and very few good looks at the net.

Oh man, single player mode in Battlefront 2 sounds amazing. http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/04/15/bat...-player-preview

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 15, 2017 -> 12:12 AM) I know I have fallen out of the loop as far as prospects are concerned, but I like to think I pay enough attention to know a prospect or two from each team, and if Robertson continues pitching like this, then none of these packages are worthwhile. Aroldis Chapman, as a walk year free agent, was used to acquire Gleyber Torres, one of the best prospects in the game. The Yankees also got a huge haul from the Indians for Andrew Miller, who is on a similar contract to that of Robertson. If Robertson appears to be one of the 5-10 best relievers in the game come June or July, the Sox are getting legitimate top prospects for him. If these are all very good prospects, then I apologize. Every name except the Rangers OF are in each team's top 10 current prospects, but none of them are top 50 prospects or so in baseball (since you quoted before my Cardinals addition). Yes, definitely less than Chapman or Miller got, but Robertson is also not even close to their levels. Yeah, he's lights out now, but no one is going to trade for him under the assumption he will be unhittable. Just trying to be realistic about a guy we all thought needed to be attached to a large chunk of cash to trade this offseason prior to his what, 4 appearances this year?

QUOTE (Blackout Friday @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 11:44 PM) Cardinals have said publicly they're concerned about the bullpen. Deep pockets. Decent farm. Give me Carson Kelly and some other decent prospect and I'll be very happy. Yadier signing 3-year extension really blocks Kelly, and both are tremendous defensively, so you can't move either off of their position.

Let's all start throwing out random trade packages, because f*** it. Robertson to.... Nationals for SS Juan Soto and OF Andrew Stevenson Giants for 1B Chris Shaw and OF Bryan Reynolds Rangers for C Jose Trevino, RHP Alex Speas, OF Jairo Beras Mariners for OF Brayan Hernande and 3B Joe Rizzo Cardinals for C Carson Kelly and OF Magneuris Sierra

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 12:20 PM) Anyone catch Louis CK's new Netflix special? I actually turned it off after about 20 minutes. It was painful to get through. He just seemed off for whatever reason and was even wearing a suit which is strange for him. I watched it and I loved it.

I didn't see it mentioned, but Collins picked off a runner at 2B today. That's the longest pick you can make. So he's caught 6 of 8 runners, and has at least 2 pickoffs.

Engel makes a nice reaching catch on a slicing drive to RCF.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 07:14 PM) Disappointing regardless of the defense. Has to get his stuff back or he's going to end up as reliever at best Actually watching this start, I'm not worried.

And then Fulmer gives up a 3-run blast immediately following. 6 runs allowed by Fulmer, really only responsible for 1 of those.

And now Delmonico f***s up a double play ball, nobody out. Fulmer has to hate his team by this point.

Moncada takes the first pitch he sees and drive it oppo high off the LCF wall for a double. Moncada read the throw in from the OF and kept cruising all the win in to 3rd without a throw. 2 for 2, single, double.

Fulmer got dicked by his defense there. Groundball up the middle, the SS fielded it, but instead of throwing to 1st for the 3rd out, he tried to run to tag 2B. He slipped, then dove to the base and the runner beat him. So now it's bases loaded for Fulmer, and the next batter hits a towering drive to the RF wall and it appears to go off the RF's glove at the wall and all 3 runs score. All 3 SHOULD be unearned, because of either the SS or the RF, but both were ruled hits.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 12:20 PM) Lol, I knew I probably posted this in here. I disregarded everyone's advice (you guys, friends, parents, etc.) and went with the long distance relationship, and we're somehow approaching our 1-year anniversary in a couple weeks. No big problems either. I'm honestly surprised, but in a good way.

QUOTE (Yoda @ Apr 10, 2017 -> 07:42 AM) Will you guys be friends at least? A couple of years ago I was head over heels with this girl who was not looking for a relationship so we ended up just being friends. Went to a couple of Sox games, concerts, and all that but remained just friends. Fast forward to today and I'm living a happy life with my gf (whom I met online a little less than 2 years ago) and our 4 month old baby and let me tell you, things do happen for a reason. I wouldn't have it any other way. Are you trying to say it's the same girl? Lol, you never really said. But I honestly hope we will be friends after this. There is no 4th date because I've decided I don't want one. Her body is still on my mind too much, but there were also some things that were talked about that really made me think this would never work out. But none of those things would turn me off of being friends with her, so I am hoping she feels the same way and can just be friends.

Better Call Saul great as usual. Mike/writing is so f***ing smart. It took me a minute to figure out what he was doing with the radio, but once I realized, f*** that dude is a quiet, patient, thorough genius.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 06:23 AM) https://youtu.be/1bj3LlepEnM Powerful stuff regarding Bickell and his fight with MS. At the end, I believe he's hinting at retiring after Sunday's game hence the emotional breakdown of not telling his teammates yet. Retired after tonight's game. Got to take a shootout goal though, and nailed it. Someone said the Flyer's players fistbumped him on his way to his teammates.

Collins - 6 BB, 7 outs

I'm watching the Kopech start right now, and I am surprised on how many called strikeouts he's getting. I assumed this was just AA players swinging through 102 MPH cheese. But he appears to be acing them on fastballs away.

For all of you that are on the edge of your seats wondering..... there will be no 4th date.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 06:39 AM) If you're going to be critical of her size on a regular basis instead of accepting her, then you shouldn't even bother dating her, let alone attempt a sexual relationship with her. Well, this is an "advice" thread, so I'm not necessarily going to harp on how every other aspect of her is great and she's a blast to be around. I could talk to her all day long, she busts my balls, she's funny, she's real pretty, she's independent and self-reliant, she's got a really strong family (borderline too close w/ her mom, but that's a possible future discussion on here), a job that I tend to seek out in a partner (teacher), and other cool stuff. My original point and continued point is just wondering if it's possible for me to be as attracted to her body as I am her mind. I've never really been in this situation before and I am hoping it's possible, and I think it can be. I don't see this thread as a "let me brag about my partner", but and more like "help me figure out this issue". I would expect most topics in this thread to be either negative or controversial in nature.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 10:56 AM) I'm going to say 3:1. I'm going 75% chance. Lol 0% chance. I am going to her place for a bonfire and to watch some Louis CK with her best friend and her girlfriend. I slow play things, I have no intentions of hooking up for a few weeks, minimum. I always joke with her that our first kiss (nope, I haven't even tried) won't be until June. I enjoy having the upper hand when it comes to this stuff early on because if we start dating and hooking up, I know I'll be looking for BJs on the regular.
