Avi looking like 2016 Avi

lol "is a lefty" is really all that can be said. 8 K's for Kopech. Control issues aside, he's toying with these guys.

In other news, I have no idea who the starters for B'ham and WS are. MiLB free agents I assume.

63 pitches thru 3, so I doubt he gets much more than 4.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 04:59 PM) Just at the point where you expect the strikeout. Seems like the pitchers the Sox are facing keep making the right pitches when they need to. Even if the Sox are "threatening" still seems like they are the ones with the backs on their walls. FYI, the right pitch is always slider.

Jokes on the Tigers, this only hurts their draft position! They're gonna feel real foolish when they end up with the 5th pick instead of the 4th. Ha, what a bunch of chumps.

I'm starting to think...the offense is not the juggernaut the first 5 games promised.

Good sweep guys, the 1-20 with RISP and like 15 double plays really showed them.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Apr 8, 2018 -> 02:21 PM) As a White Sox fan living in Red Sox country that is a terrible comparison. Benintendi and Moncada arrived together from AA to the Majors. Moncada went back to AAA while Benintendi stayed in the majors. Benintendi has 700 ABs 22 HR- 105 RBI-22-SB 89 BB/140 SO and a .270 avg. Moncada has 286 ABS 9HR -26 RBI 3 SB 35 BB/98 SO and a .226 avg. Benintendi has been a stud since he arrived. Moncada has struggled for 2+ years. I still think Moncada has a higher ceiling. To make it worse for me, even Devers who was behind Moncada arrived last year , has similiar ABS as Moncada and put up better numbers. I would take Moncada over him as well but I do have "White"-colored glasses. Hey I live in Boston, hello fellow N'Englander. Anyways, the point isn't to compare the two players, but to compare the sample sizes, both of which aren't large. Also lol at "2+ years". With 286 PA.

Rondon was so impressive, he struck out Cabrera twice on consecutive pitches

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 8, 2018 -> 02:35 PM) Sox are going to get 3 this inning 3 outs? I absolutely agree!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 8, 2018 -> 01:06 PM) Let's take some of Avi's BABIP luck and give it to Moncada, please Nicky, too.

Maybe don't do hit-and-run with a guy who struck out 38% of the time last year?

He's not .400 BABIP good. He keeps hitting ground balls and somehow keeps getting by.

I have no idea how Avi keeps doing it but man he keeps doing it.

They're what, like 0-30 with RISP this series?

QUOTE (ron883 @ Apr 8, 2018 -> 11:44 AM) The title of the article even says he is trolling. Not sure how people missed that and thought he was serious lol. I think he's dead serious about the one-year deal thing. Just not about the numbers.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 8, 2018 -> 11:36 AM) No, I had missed it originally, but he isn't really suggesting he could get $42 million, he is trolling, using 420 and 69 as much as he can in all the proposed figures. Yeah, just got this. Hence the "42.0 million" bit. Har har. It's funny that we all believed he valued himself that way because he constantly says and does dumb stuff.

No team is going to pay a premium for one year of a middle tier free agent when they can sign someone else for less AAV.

Weird dude. He's obviously very analytical, but half of what he says seems to have no basis in reality. This falls into that group.

Its fine to wait on Engel, because the Sox can afford to, but his swing is awful and his approach lately has been garbage. So, i'm not holding my breath.

Andrew Benintendi, the "more polished" player the Red Sox refused to trade, is batting .174 with no extra base hits. Please, I beg of you, forget this thread exists...cast it into a deep pit and move on with your lives.

Stanton Hitting .185 It's six games, people.

Also gonna get out in front with this one: Looks like this Danish... is toast YAAAH

Robbie Ross Jr just got annihilated to the tune of 4 ER in 0.0 innings of work. Couldn't get an out. Uh, guess he isn't coming up any time soon.
