Konerko out (of the game)

Oh boy.

Jordan Danks is having a good season. I don't think he'll be a long term starting player, but I'd rather watch him than De Aza.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 1, 2013 -> 04:40 PM) Alexei now has gone 193 at bats without a home run. Would a team want him for basically 2.5 years at 24 mil?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 1, 2013 -> 04:20 PM) Put it this way...the Tigers have 2 less homers in the 4th inning today than 3/4 of our infield have all season.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 1, 2013 -> 04:17 PM) So the Sox have 6 homers all year from their 2b, SS and 3b combined. It's hysterical that a supposed home run hitting team is 13th in the league in homers.

Miguel Cabrera grand slam. Jealous. So jealous.

Jason Hammel ejected for hitting Tuiasosopo

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 1, 2013 -> 03:43 PM) Hawkins is the only one with a shot...if he gets his head out of the clouds. 15-25% chance Viciedo does it. After seeing some of his tweets, I have to remind myself he's 19. I just hope he's "baseball smart", or becomes baseball smart over the next few years. I have hope for Trayce Thompson because he seems to have some smarts to go along with some tools.

Yes, Gillaspie has been very good. He's going to be a serviceable player. Actually De Aza looked good last year too. He's been a train wreck. More than anything, the Sox need to draft and develop a star offensive player. Hopefully soon.

Jean Stapleton, 90. She was awesome.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 1, 2013 -> 03:34 PM) Another sterling interview by Dan Hayes. I missed it, but I get flop sweat just watching him.

Quintana basically has a season's worth of production now. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/q/quintjo01.shtml All in all, a very good first year. Great job by the Sox getting guys like Quintana and Axelrod from other organizations. Now, how about some position players?

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20130531 They included the DSL games, although I don't know if they'll be updated in real time.

http://baseballpress.com/lineup.php Ventura sticking with what works.

Here on June 1, the league average for runs scored in the AL is 4.47 per game. Det 5.15 Cle 4.93 Min 4.27 KC 3.94 Sox 3.52 Sox are almost a full run per game under league average. Last in the AL. Runs allowed average is 4.42 per game. Det 4.00 KC 4.13 Sox 4.13 Cle 4.54 Min 4.77

If the Stanford outfielder is available, they'll take the Stanford outfielder. /kenny'd

QUOTE (Baron @ May 31, 2013 -> 11:25 PM) Yeah yeah yeah enough with that stupid crap already Facts? What did I say?

A 14-13 May isn't good enough after a 10-15 April.

Did you really ever think they were going to win tonight? Awful awful team. They got by with good starting pitching and a closer that doesn't blow when they do have a chance to win. This team is going to lose 85-90 games for sure.

QUOTE (DukeofChicagoA1 @ May 31, 2013 -> 10:46 PM) I think I heard the royals just recently replaced their hitting coach with George Brett. I believe Stone said it earlier but I could be wrong. If that is the case, we should fire Manto and hire Thomas. Yeah, and they should hire Robin Ventura as manager. Oh wait...

Brandon League just blew a save. I love the Dodgers suck.

I think the Sox are just riding out the Flowers experiment as long as possible. They committed to it, and they aren't going to bail in the first half of his first year as a regular. Now, when August comes and the Sox are 10 back, it may be a different story.

Indians and Rays have been in a delay for hours. It's a 0-0 game in the 2nd. No idea why they don't play a dh.
