Alex Avila throws his mask off on ball in the dirt.....Good Guy Jose retrieves it for him.

Nice job, Sem.

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 06:58 PM) Alexei is batting 380 I dont think we can criticize. Unless u just enjoy seeing a base on balls More than a hit Not to mention it took a great play to rob him of a hit in said criticized at bat.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 06:51 PM) Anyone else been pleasantly surprised by Nieto? He's nothing special at the moment but he's not as overmatched as you'd think a guy straight from A ball would be. Agreed. I would have expected him to be completely dominated my major leaguers. He's at least held his own.

Damage minimized, thank god.

Nice pick, Sem.

This pitching staff is just complete water trash.

Did anyone notice Torii Hunter motioning Danks to get deeper in CF when Castellanos came up to bat? Would be great to see a DP here...

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 05:39 PM) The only way it could have a big impact is if he's out for an extended period, and the Sox end up trading Danks. All of a sudden you have Quintana and 4 guys that could be in the minors in the rotation. This is what's happened to the Cubs the last few years, and that's when the losses really add up. Ok, well it wasn't said that all the sudden 40% of our rotation would be gone, he just said Sale. Losing Sale doesn't cost us 15+ wins.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 05:23 PM) They always have the adds in the store to sign up. Even if you're a member already. Well it's not that way on PS3 then. On the PS3 I go to the Playstation Plus section and it shows me all the discounted and free games. When I go to the Playstation Plus section on the PS4, every tile says "SIGN UP!" and has the different pricing plans. I can't even see any of the free or discounted games and when I click the "free games with playstation plus" tile, it asks me which option I want to sign up for. I may not be seeing it for whatever reason, but it's certainly not working the same as it did on the PS3.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 05:23 PM) 4 game series I know what I said!!!

2 of 3 would be quite wonderful.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 04:51 PM) Hope that is all it is or 60 wins will be a major challenge. I don't think Chris Sale missing the rest of this season will cost this team 15 wins at the minimum, unless you already pegged us somewhere in the mid 60s.

Silicon Valley was very good this week. But man, how many shows have we seen have a vison quest episode? I'm glad it wasn't the main story in the episode, but just off the top of my head shows to include that event include Entourage, Blue Mountain State, Workaholics, King of the Hill, Eastbound and Down, and now Silicon Valley.

The Workaholics episode was f***ing amazing. I watched the rat killing scene multiple times.

Anyone with a PS4 know why my PS+ account doesn't seem to be transferring over? I was looking for free PS4 games to try and it keeps offering me to sign up. I am logged in with my PSN account, and still have about 6 weeks left on my membership....hmm.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 19, 2014 -> 09:53 PM) DEFINITELY. If not sooner, depending on what happens with Alexei Ramirez getting traded...and whatever ends up happening with Semien/Beckham/Carlos Sanchez. Alexei better get traded before he comes back down to a .260 average with like 5 HR by July.

I only saw glimpes of the Seabrook hit while at work, but it looks pretty bad. I wouldn't argue a suspension. At the same time, I doubt Seabrook of all people would be targetting the head. He knows exactly how bad that sucks to get a cheap shot like that. The *only* glimmer of hope I have right now is that we have no lost a home game yet. As long as we take care of business as home like it was designed, then we got a chance.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 12:51 AM) It stays on for two years. And depending on how many hard inquiries you have in a certain period of time, it can decrease by more than just a few points. Case and point: my credit score dropped around 30 points after I got a loan for my car and applied for two credit cards in about a one month period. It's the first time I've ever done something like this and I've never taken out a loan. Worth the $200 I think. Ha.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 12:05 AM) https://www.creditkarma.com/article/hard_in..._soft_inquiries Meh, it says it will only knock off a couple points temporarily. That's not a problem.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 19, 2014 -> 11:20 PM) You better buy a lot of stuff. Usually, whatever you get discounted isn't worth the hard credit pull. I don't even know what that means.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 18, 2014 -> 03:47 PM) Go get em. I pre-ordered my The Show PS4 boner copy from Amazon a month ago. Please come to me, May 6. Gamestop is offering like 40% extra in-store credit when you trade in a newer game to preorder The Show for PS4. Since I already have the PS3 version, I am going to trade it in, which should get me about $45 or so. So I'll pick up the PS4 version for like $20 after tax.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 18, 2014 -> 03:47 PM) Go get em. I pre-ordered my The Show PS4 boner copy from Amazon a month ago. Please come to me, May 6. Welp, it wasn't fishy at all, and they apparently do that deal once a month, for a week long. I got the PS4 + extra controller + $100 PS giftcard for a grand total of $407 after taxes. It was like 35% off I think. What a f***ing steal, I saved $200 on an item that they can barely keep in stores.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Apr 19, 2014 -> 09:13 PM) That was hysterical. It's also a relatively true story.

Davidson - 1/3, HR, RBI, BB, K. Micah - 1/1, 1 RBI, 3 BB, 3 SB, E Ravelo - 1/1, 2B, 2 BB, SB Recchia - 7 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 9 K - He's a 25-year-old RHP, so he really should be dominating.
