QUOTE (raBBit @ May 30, 2015 -> 04:41 PM) Obviously Swirskey offers nothing as far as baseball analysis, but he's a pro as an announcer. He's brining the best out of Stone. Eaton has no shot against Keuchel. Get a walk please! Stone has been much more enjoyable to listen to with Swirskey than with Hawk.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 29, 2015 -> 11:13 PM) If Soto doesn't start tomorrow I riot. Get him back on the roids Agree, dude should be starting 3 of every 5 games until we find a better option.

Real question, but did Balta actually say Soto was a worse hitter than Flowers in this thread?

Flowers needs to go. I know a bunch of guys on this team are under-performing right now, but Flowers simply sucks. As crazy as it sounds, give Kotteras a look. He probably won't be the solution, but I doubt he can be any worse.

Glad we gave Flowers that second at-bat!!

Unfortunately we took Putnam out a batter too late. Hate bringing in another reliever with a runner on 2nd with one out.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 29, 2015 -> 10:35 PM) I liked the call...you don't play for the next inning in that situation. A steal and a flare is easily your best chance of scoring in that situation. Typically, you think a speedy guy will be successful against a righty power reliever. Anyone except Flowers sure. Chance of him getting a hit is low, and quite frankly I'll take my chances on him hitting a HR or fighting through the bottom of the 10th than Shuck successfully stealing a base AND Flowers getting a base hit or risk starting the 11th with him at-bat.

f*** you Robin. Stealing with Flowers at bat with two outs is one of the dumbest decions I have ever seen. You just literally gave one of the worst hitters in baseball two at-bats if you're lucky. What a stupid f***ing move...ugh.

Alright boys, no time to f*** around, let's get one here and close them out in the bottom half of the inning.

f*** yes!!

Looks safe IMO, but got to hope that there is not enough evidence to overturn.

Awesome news about Euron & Tarley. Not sure if the maesters subplot will be included, but clearly Oldtown & the Reach will be a major plot point next season and this all but confirms that Sam will be heading there soon. My guess is he goes to Horn Hill to drop off Gilly and then gets caught in the middle of Euron's invasion of Oldtown. Also, this makes me think Loras will survive his trial and be involved in this storyline, filling the role of his brothers in Winds of Winter. On an unrelated note, I'm convinced that Trystane is Aegon. The Dorne storyline has been pointless up until now, and Doran has barely been used this season. Given he only has one child who happens to be a boy, his marriage pact plan with the Targaryens doesn't seem possible IMO. There has to be a payoff to this storyline and I think that will be a big "Trystane = Aegon" reveal. The fact we haven't seen or heard about Varys for a while makes me believe he'll make a late-season cameo and announce his true intentions. Not sure if that will be in Dorne with Doran or in King's Landing with Kevin and/or Pycelle, but I doubt we've seen the last Varys and I'm certain it won't be with Dany.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 27, 2015 -> 03:41 PM) Since I went on a crusade against the Samardzija-hating meatballs and said he would be fine. 3 GS, 23IP, 19/5 SO/BB, 19H, 1.96 ERA, 1.04 WHIP. I've said it all season, but Hahn needs to sign this dude to an extension. Build your team around a rotation of Sale, Shark, Quintana, & Rodon and you should be able to be legitimate contenders each year with even an average offense. This year might be a lost cause, but I honestly think we can fill the black holes at 3B & C this coming offseason if we're willing to move some of our prospects. Obviously this all assumes guys like Melky, Eaton, etc. return close to their previous form.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 26, 2015 -> 09:24 PM) I dislike the 4 out save. I don't the 4 out save had anything to do with it, Robertson just didn't have it tonight.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ May 26, 2015 -> 09:24 PM) a few of those every season. Just wasn't a good time for it. Yup, went from what could have been a big confidence booster to an absolute crushing defeat.

Wow is all I have to say...f*** you Steve Stone for jinxing that s***.

Alright can you guys stop bickering over Duke, s***s about to blow up with Robertson.

Like the 4-out save decision here.

Holy s***, an insurance run!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 26, 2015 -> 08:44 PM) That inning ending stank. He's safe.

f*** yes Eaton!!

Way to go Tumbleweed!

It's like the three f***ing stooges out there!?! How balls can you bobble on one play!?

f*** this team, what a bunch of pathetic b****es.

Did Stone forget Bonifacio is on the team?
