The Mets need a bat way more than we do IMO. Plus, they have more to give and are probably more willing to overpay.

Mets are way more desperate than we are. Figures that they would outbid us.

Why the hell would we want Rajai Davis?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:31 PM) His Twitter handle is @ithrow88. Buehrle should be @ithrow83 He's actually throwing 86 this year. No surprise why he gives up so many HRs.

Well he'll be fun to watch when the wind's blowing out at Wrigley. He gives up a lot of HRs as is.

I feel like Detroit is almost going to be forced to trade Cespedes if they want him back next year. I could be wrong on this, but I think there's some weird clause in his contract that he can't re-sign with the team if he's not extended before the end of the season. I think he's going to price himself out of a lot of teams' budgets, especially with the season he's had.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:36 PM) Is Chris hurting? Got hit above the knee on a hard come backer in the first.

That HBP really hurts now.

That pitch needs to be inside, not outside where he can flail his bat at it. The guy was hobbling, make him turn on that ankle on the swing.

f***ing a...

Bogaerts has Chris' number.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:26 PM) Was Sale trying to hit Bradley there? That was 2 in a row that seemed like they were about to. Doubt it, I don't know why he would. He also threw three inside pitches to Holt as well. I think he's having issues with his release point.

Chris with some control issues. Everything's inside to lefties right now.

Bradley can run too. Now you flip the lineup over.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:23 PM) People ripping Avi like he's Dayan Viciedo. Have a little patience in his first full season. I understand he has issues. They're really not all that different. Dayan could never hit consistently for average. Avi can't hit consistently for power. Neither know how to draw a walk.

At least he's thrown a lot of pitches so far. He might have two more innings left in him. Boston's bullpen is also awful.

Damn you Tim Wakefield!

This is the perfect guy to steal on. Wait for a knuckle ball and run all day.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:15 PM) And a 5.45 fip... yikes Knuckle ballers usually give up a lot of homers. With a 87 MPH fastball, he's not gonna strike out a ton of people. That's why his FIP sucks.

Gotta start hitting Wright. He's got a 4.8 ERA for a reason.

That's not good... I'm not sure how you swing at that. He must have been cheating and thought he was gonna get a fastball.

Need a double play here.

Nice swinging bunt by Ortiz.

It's amazing how confident you feel when you have a hot offense and Chris Sale on the mound. I wouldn't be laughing out loud at the Red Sox if we were still 8 games under .500. Because these plays hit too close to home.
