QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 13, 2016 -> 06:48 PM) Melky rarely strikes out. He has more walks than strikeouts. He's being used to split the righties in the middle of the lineup (which I don't really care for). I think he definitely first best as the #2 hitter. Good contact, good OBP. Lawrie looks good enough to hit 5th right now.

I felt like we should have gotten more than 3 there, but any crooked number is a good crooked number.

QUOTE (Scoots @ May 13, 2016 -> 06:44 PM) They don't really have a true number 2 hitter. Rollins is the best they have...maybe saladino? You want good contact out of the 2 spot, Sox don't exactly have a ton of those guys. I'd say Lawrie or AJax can both work better. Lawrie Ks a bit too much for my liking in that spot, but he's been hitting pretty damn well so far. I'm much more confident in his ability to hit a fastball right down the pipe than Rollins.

QUOTE (kapzk @ May 13, 2016 -> 06:44 PM) Good thing Jimmy didn't make contact or else it may have been a inning ending DP I was hoping for a walk, especially since it was 3-1. Then Severino realized Rollins can't hit a 97 MPH fastball up in the zone.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 13, 2016 -> 06:44 PM) Thank you Abreu for picking him up! Yeah seriously... Come on Todd, stay hot!

There's no reason for Rollins to hit 2nd right now.

Bases juiced for Jimmy. Not real confident right now.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 13, 2016 -> 06:39 PM) Severino has some nasty offspeed stuff, thankfully he can't spot any of it. He can't spot his fastball either.

I can see why Severino's ERA is around 6. Despite having great stuff, he gets hit hard.

Nice swing by Avi, but right at Hicks. No way for Lawrie to advance since Hicks has a cannon.

What was Lawrie doing running to second? High stepping? lol

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 13, 2016 -> 06:28 PM) Man I thought that was trouble Eaton misread it. But since he's a +13 defender so far this year, he makes up for it somehow.

Jimmy's lack of range really showed in that first inning. The Yankees' SS made a great play on Cabrera, but Jimmy couldn't get to a ball that most SS get to.

Severino's been handing out homers on a silver platter recently.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ May 12, 2016 -> 10:28 AM) I did not know this. These are playable on the PS4, with the trophies available and everything? PS3 version? I don't have one, the other option would be PS Now PS4.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 4, 2016 -> 09:27 AM) Thought of this last night as I was watching Red Sox pitchers again spending 30 minutes between pitches and TWO challenges that just made my wife hate baseball after a great game to that point: - Every inning that the Red Sox or yankees slow down to a crawl and ruin young peoples love for the game MLB forces: - Red Sox to pay another $1million to Pablo Sandoval - Yankees to pay another $1million to Alex Rodriguez It both punishes the teams but also should work with the MLBPA as the money is getting funneled to players, one fat and the other a douchebag. Thoughts? I was looking for an upvote button, then I remembered this isn't Reddit. Have an upvote.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 12, 2016 -> 10:28 AM) Who was the last Eaton type player to win MVP? I'm not questioning the premise, I actually don't know. Ichiro? Ichiro or Pedroia.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ May 12, 2016 -> 09:41 AM) I never owned a PS3 and I wanna play all the other Uncharted games first, f*** the way my head is wired The Uncharted collection is $20 at Best Buy right now, I think.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 11, 2016 -> 06:22 PM) So after the series from hell we won't lose any ground in the division. I'll take it. Thanks Marwin! Weird how that works out huh?

Marwin Gonzalez walk-off homer. Indians lose too, but in 16 innings.

Just bring up Shuck or anyone who can actually play the outfield. We can't have Sands out there again. He's not a good 1B either. There's no reason to carry 2 DHs on this team.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 11, 2016 -> 04:19 PM) Sox should have swept. 2 run lead in each game. Bullpen was horrendous. Yup that's what hurts. We were up in every game and offense scored a plethora of runs. Yet here we are, 1-2.

QUOTE (ronkark @ May 11, 2016 -> 04:18 PM) Is Sands faster than Abreu? Is Jimmy Rollins faster than Abreu? Man that was bad. Has Sanchez ever proven to be 1, a contact hitter. Or 2, a good hitter? No. Pinch run and bunt him over. Give Melky and Lawrie a shot at a simple base hit. But no. I really didn't understand Sanchez hitting.

Use of the bullpen these past two days has been brutal.
