Quin

Blake really wants to be a role model for kids in the inner city, which was really refreshing to hear.

Just saw the clips of it on Sports Center. Where did Alexei of all people get three different pitches at distinct speeds?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 11:08 PM) We should do a mini poll. Who would you rather have manage the Sox next year if these were the only choices: Robin or Ozzie or Bevington? I'd take ... OZZIE! No way?

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 05:53 AM) Rachel McAdams is the female lead in Doctor Strange with Cumberbatch. Didn't know she turned down the Pepper Potts role. If they add Mikkelsen as rumored, that cast is phenomenal.

I got in the car it was 7-3. How the f*** did 7-7 happen?

Oh s***. (Trayce)

Marcus is bad at D.

Why would you do this?

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Sep 13, 2015 -> 09:08 PM) Our bullpen is not horrific. Bullpen SIERAs (best pitching peripheral, what your ERA should be): David Robertson: 1.97 Nate Jones: 2.02 Zach Putnam: 3.03 Zach Duke: 3.21 Dan Jennings: 3.31 Matt Albers: 3.39 Jake Petricka: 3.42 Webb has no business in the bullpen but that's a decent 7. As you say the defence blows and that coupled with some bad luck has meant some inflated ERAs. God is the defense bad. I wish they could sign Heyward for RF, pray Trayce's bat can carry in LF and Melky to DH. Problem is LaRoche and I doubt Hahn would have Avi start at AAA. Saladino-Alexei-Sanchez-Abreu makes a decent defensive INF. Problems with what to do with Micah arise.

Ed Walsh Chris Sale Billy Pierce Mark Buehrle Ted Lyons Red Faber Going with the six man.

http://www.chicagonow.com/soxnet/2015/09/b...erce-interview/ Mark's interview with Billy Pierce - talked about his career, what it meant moving from Detroit to Chicago, etc.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Sep 9, 2015 -> 11:49 PM) Good point on Fulmer's delivery. 2017 is what I'm hoping too. This is why I like the idea of Danks pitching for the Sox in 2016, to bridge the gap to Fulmer. 2016: Sale, Rodon, Q, EJ, Danks 2017: Sale, Rodon, Q, EJ, Fulmer I like the the future of the Sox rotation. And that's with Montas, Danish, Adams, Guerrero, Beck and Jaye in the wings. Then the possibilities of Erwin and Hickman from this years draft. Now to start trading some of it for hitting.

Glad to see the basketball gone.

Just saw Abreu's homer. Lmao at Brantly.

For what it's worth, it's a shame Alexei never got a Gold Glove early in his career - specifically 2010 when Jeter got it.

It'd be nice for Fulmer to down the Cubs' affiliate in the playoffs.

Since coming into baseball in 2008, Alexei has been the 8th best shortstop in baseball.

Brantly!

I mean, Chris Sale's slider is one of, if not the, most unhittable single pitches in baseball. Take that away and yeah, not as good.

If it was a one game playoff between Arrieta and Sale, I'd take the Sox. I like the Sox offense chances of getting runs off Arrieta way more than the Cubs against Sale.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 09:09 PM) Jose Quintana could absolutely say worse and he would be 100% justified in saying that and the rest of the roster would absolutely deserve it. He's had the patience of a saint. +1

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 05:32 PM) Agreed. About time we see what we have in this Viciedo guy, showing some solid pop and a good hit tool, exactly what this team is lacking. I know he's been in the league for a few years but the dude is only 26 and was once a highly thought of prospect, time to see if we have something here.

Good play by Olt!
