I'm full on Americanizing his name- Lou Roberts.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ May 21, 2017 -> 09:18 PM) Crazy. Think we got this? Nah. I'm sure after 81, the Indians will have the lead, and Twins and Tigers will be a few games behind. Royals and Sox getting ready to trade.

After first 40 games: Min 22-18 Cle 21-19 Det 20-20 Sox 18-22 KC 17-23

Just noticed Taijuan Walker went on the DL. He was going to start Wednesday afternoon.

Sanchez is a fun player

Needless to say, the Sox caught the Mariners at the right time.

If Sale and Eaton stayed and the Sox stayed in go-for-it mode, Avisail would probably be in a different uniform right now.

If the service time issues are out of the way, my hope is he starts Friday and then replaces Covey.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 21, 2017 -> 12:34 PM) What do you think of the picks of Fulmer and Rodon and Beckham? Isn't this the same regime? You loss lovers slay me. To be a fan and want your team to lose is so bizarre. What do non statniks in your life think of this silliness? The Sox are in rebuild mode. Picks aren't guarantees, but sometimes the difference in the 6th pick and 7th pick is huge. Enjoy the games any way you want. I'm enjoying both- when Avi has a big game or Davidson hits a homer, great. When they lose, good...that's what this year is about.

6 up, 6 down for Lopez. Danish currently scheduled to start Thursday, so yes, that could change.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 21, 2017 -> 11:35 AM) on paper, with all their injuries, the Sox lineup and SP today will be >>> than the Mariners. I hate to say it, but with Avi, Sanchez, the other Garcias and Jose hitting like this, this Sox team isn't bad, they are mediocre to average. I don't see more than 80 wins but this also looks far from a 100 loss club. My hope is they play every 54 games at 23-31, which means 4-9 the next 13. Bottom line, they need to have the worst AL record with a losing interleague record. If they do that, they would max out on their draft position.

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ May 21, 2017 -> 10:58 AM) Don't think we'll see Robert with an affiliate for a few more weeks/months, but I do see him moving quickly Reasonable ETA on the South Side is Opening Day 2019 He turns 20 in August, so he's in his Age 19 season. It would be great if he's that good of a player, but one step at a time. If he ends 2018 in Birmingham, I'll take that as a positive. ROY 2020

I'll take a Holland quality start in a 4-3 loss. Yesterday was fun, but back to the tank, please.

First 9 starts: 2016/2017 Record, ERA 9-0, 1.58/ 4-2, 2.19 (Red Sox 6-3) Innings Pitched 68.1/65.2 Hits 39/39 ER 12/16 HR 5/4 BB 10/13 Strikeouts 62/95 Batters Faced 253/246 For all the K lovers, mission accomplished I suppose. ---------------------------------------------------- His next 9 starts leading up to the All-Star Game: 5-3, 5.56 ERA (White Sox 5-4) 56.2 Innings 65 hits 35 ER 16 BB 61 K 12 HR 245 BF

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20170521 Sox will have a 26th player on Friday. Might set up for a Lopez spot start. Charlotte- Lopez, 12:05 Birmingham- Guerrero and Adams, 12:35 Winston-Salem- Banks, 1:00 Kannapolis- Solorzano, 4:05

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 20, 2017 -> 11:10 PM) We were at dead zero right? Yes. 169-169

Games like this do wonders for the run diff.

Mets are trying not to blow a big 9th inning lead. Reed just walked in a run. Trout gonna Trout?

Who's ready for an 11-10, 4 hour game?

Indians pitching prospect Thomas Pannone gave up his first runs of the season after 35.2 without an ER. He's in AA now.

QUOTE (daggins @ May 20, 2017 -> 03:36 PM) Also if that is true it seems pretty unlikely they trade Abreu. He needs to learn how to be a 140-game DH...like now.

Percentage chance he's test driving cars right now?

Tilson and Davidson will be long gone by 2020. Sorry.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2017 -> 03:06 PM) I will gladly take a chance of him having a higher career WAR than any mix of guys they would have signed next two years I agree, and I kinda figured you were being sarcastic. Today is a good day for the rebuild.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2017 -> 03:01 PM) Kinda bummed this takes them out of the 2018 J2 signing period They must know Robert is a can't-miss prospect. This has to be on that level, or they're beyond screwed.
