QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 17, 2016 -> 11:20 AM) they are 10 over but they are 5-5 in their last 10 & 7-6 in the month of May so far. Others have hit on this, but can we just appreciate how nice it is that 5-5 in the last 10 is our seasonal low point and its mid-May? None of us would have made that prediction three months ago.

Worried about this one. Houston's got a powerful and patient lineup, which will probably do well against Rodon's control weaknesses. Keuchel is struggling but he totally destroyed us last year. And of course, I can't watch. Can't we be done with Texas teams already? Alexeiyesss, I appreciate the unblock-us link but it doesn't support FireTV. So, bummer. Another stare-at-my-phone GameDay night.

The Rangers were already my second team, and this just solidifies that. Jose Bautista and the rest of the big Toronto bats are roid-raging douchebags. f*** 'em. That punch by Odor ought to be a .gif. I'd watch that for hours.

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ May 15, 2016 -> 01:37 PM) That's what I am saying...the guy he put in, absolutely horrible. They got waaaay too comfortable there and that Bozo started a rally. Honestly, you could see it coming. The Carroll experiment should have ended a while ago. But dude, he made a mildly amusing video about life in the minors and then Adam Dunn bought him dinner. The good feels clearly were worth a couple years of s***ty relief pitching.

Wish Rollins was hitting here.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 15, 2016 -> 01:19 PM) Absolutely ridiculous that we were beaten by Chase f***ing Headley in this series. Dude had 0 XBHs before this week. Yep, this hurts. Chase Headley is trash. The Yanks are probably sorry they believed in that 30-homerun season of his a few years back. That is clearly not who he is.

I'm over Avila. Please let Dioner start. Avila is s***.

What do the Yanks do now? Go to Miller for the eighth and Chapman for the ninth, or do they send someone else in with the tie?

QUOTE (flavum @ May 15, 2016 -> 01:04 PM) Indians lost again, so that's good So we're going to be up by 5, worst case scenario.

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ May 15, 2016 -> 12:53 PM) Betances-Miller-Chapman say hi. This post sucks.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 15, 2016 -> 12:53 PM) So you haven't watched a Sox home game? The freaking wave occurs every game. That's disappointing.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 15, 2016 -> 12:50 PM) a 1-run cushion in baseball isn't jack squat. Betances-Miller-Chapman say hi.

Look at those f***s doing the wave. Yankee fans are asshats.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ May 15, 2016 -> 12:47 PM) Duke sucks I wish I could make $5 million this year and fail as much as this guy.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 15, 2016 -> 12:32 PM) This feels like a game the Sox are going to lose. I blame this guy.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 15, 2016 -> 12:34 PM) Yet your "Saladino sucks" without even checking numbers for this year or accounting for defense doesn't? Stay in your lane. Without checking numbers? How about a .594 career OPS? How about 0 walks in 42 PAs? How about his oWAR of 0? What other numbers do you want me to check? I'd account for defense if our alternative was Marcus Semien, but it's not. It's Jimmy Rollins, who is getting old but has generally been an above average defender. You, on the other hand, simply whined that we're going to lose. In a game that we are winning. Your post clearly sucked more than mine.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 15, 2016 -> 12:31 PM) defense edit- I also don't expect a 37 year old Rollins to bounce back to his prime days offensively. You'd probably get about the same production from them at that end (and, Saladino's offensive numbers are better so far relative to PT) Yes, I know Saladino's defense is better. But is it so much better, or is Rollins so much of a butcher, that its worth a clearly inferior and less potent bat?

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 15, 2016 -> 12:32 PM) This feels like a game the Sox are going to lose. Dude, we're winning. This post sucks.

Saladino sucks. For all of you who talk about how he's so much better than Rollins, remember, his OBP was .018 lower than Rollins' last year, in what was by far the worst year of Rollins' career. I don't know why anyone wants to see so much of this dope.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 14, 2016 -> 12:09 PM) I don't know what game you are watching or even games. Avi has been doing a good job this season and in this game our hitters are being overmatched by tough pitchers absolutely ridiculous to start hating on a player. Just now Yanks relief pitching struck out 5 Sox hitters in a row. He had a nice 11 game stretch this season. Before that, he was garbage. In the limited time since that stretch, he's looked like the garbage of old. I'm just fed up by the idea that he will keep getting more and more chances because he goes through hot streaks. I really don't want these streaks to jeopardize our search for a legitimate bat.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 14, 2016 -> 11:57 AM) I know it's so easy when watching on tv isn't it? This Betances guy struck out all four hitters he faced Is B>W a professional baseball player? Sorry, but Avi's earned his reputation as a hole on this team. After a little stretch that got everyone excited, he's faded right back to being a flailing, GB machine. Melky and Lawrie at least fought well against Betances; Avi just looked pitiful.

QUOTE (Scoots @ May 14, 2016 -> 11:54 AM) I have a feeling someone on the Sox is gonna surprise us with a bomb This. Chapman's gonna face Abreu and Frazier... Also, let's go back to talking about how Avi sucks, yeah?

I love Lawrie, but he's on pace to K 200+ times this year.

Man, some of you need to look at the bright side. Betances has an ERA of 2.40. He's good, but not unbeatable. Aroldis Chapman hasn't started that great, and we beat him a while back. We're a good team, and we're a good late inning team. Stop acting like the game is over. We've got nine outs.

Can I have my handle changed to "StrykerSox"?
