QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 30, 2014 -> 03:45 PM) Really, a 36 year old who already had a major injury is going to command a big, all-caps level contract? I bet he gets at least $15M a year, after he rejects the Tigers qualifying offer.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 30, 2014 -> 03:40 PM) .303 career hitter and OBP is .368 could do a lot worse than Victor at DH. I like Victor, but he is going to get PAID. If we are spending money anywhere, I want a corner OF, 3B, or SP.

Abreu looked safe. EDIT: Nope, he was out, about a quarter-step.

Hawk - "Beckham really barreled up that chopper to 3rd. Man, he just missed a HR on that one."

Stay clutch, De Aza.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 30, 2014 -> 01:21 PM) Yeah Commissioner Gordon will be played by Ben MacKenzie who is from THe OC and Southland. Yep.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 10:56 PM) I don't think Robin trusts Semien too much. I mean, why would he? He sucks with RISP, especially with 2 outs. Bury him in the lineup.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 10:45 PM) Eaton is one of the best bunters around Eaton came from Arizona....like...5 months ago.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 10:39 PM) How horrendous was Viciedo's error on a scale of 1 to 10? Lost it in the lights? Overran? Just a misplay? Whiffed? Juggled? Not only did he drop a flyball in his glove, but then he failed to pick up the ball which allowed Jackson to reach 3B, which set up the suicide squeeze. He could have gotten one of those 2 mistakes right and we may still be in a tie ball game right now.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 10:38 PM) Um yes? Suicide squeezes are completely on the manager. And at some point management has to take blame when we fail the same basic routine over...And over...And over...And over...And over...again with many different players. While I do find RockRaines completely condesending right now, I can't figure out how you blame ANYONE for that perfectly executed suicide squeeze? That's a basehit against any team, in any situation that doesn't call for a drawn-in infield. There isn't a single thing Robin could have done other than put Semien in on bunt defense, which would be suspect.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 10:33 PM) I meant long-term, assuming the corner outfielders are Viciedo and Garcia Unless we spend money on a big money FA hitter next year that plays bad defense, there is no way Viciedo is anything but our DH next season. We have an open slot, and he is a perfect candidate.

f***.

Tank explaining to Abreu how he missed the catch clearly because his glove is too short, and Abreu responding with his talking hand "Blah, blah, blah". You tell 'em, Jose.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 10:28 PM) Man, our corner outfield defence is gonna be rooough if/when De Aza gets traded Huh? If/when De Aza is traded, our OF defense gets infinitely better with Danks in there instead.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 10:25 PM) Just terrible There was nothing terrible about that play, from either team.

Beat on the suicide squeeze. f***.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 10:22 PM) Well that leaves Garcia in right field so... At least Garcia's problems are mental it seems. He just needs to figure out how to take better routes, but he has the speed at athleticism at least. Tank seems to get decent reads, he just has an awful glove and lumbers around out there very clunky.

There is no way that Tank isn't our DH next year. The dude can just not play defense.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 08:45 PM) I need video of this. I'd be surprised if there isn't. I've seen more video of Rondon's fielding than any minor leaguer we have doing anything else.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 09:17 PM) He's got a pretty solid arm. Just wildly inconsistent. I didn't say stronger arm, but fine if you want to be specific, yes, his accuracy blows.

Thanks, ump.

Well that .375 mark is about to got through the roof.

Jesus....if Eaton had even an average arm, he would have been nailed at home....ugh.

V-Mart just kills us, it seems.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 08:40 PM) starting to fall behind. he was throwing more strikes earlier. He was gripping the ball better earlier.
