QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jun 6, 2015 -> 11:12 AM) Alexei went 2 for 4 in the 2 hole last night. So you are not going to make another change for a week or so until you see if it sparks his bat. He is too much a free swinger for the two hole. You need some guys with patience. Alexei had a good RBI chance in the 8th last night but had the most atrocious approach.

QUOTE (Whitey @ Jun 6, 2015 -> 08:44 AM) Its a start.... But, now Melky's average is down to .080 against lefties (versus .275 against righties). I see absolutely no reason to put him anywhere in the lineup against a lefty starter at this point (if you are serious about competing for anything). Tell him to bat left handed all the time. He looks like a wanna be switch hitter.

I think it's Shuck time in LF. Melky should ride pine a bit.

The Tigers announcers were pretty funny when that happened.

Lol at Ramirez in the 2 hole. A broken clock is right two times a day.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 09:09 PM) That contract is looking scary as hell He had to be juicing before. He isn't no obviously.

Q walking Castellanos is what really set that s*** in motion. Challenge the f***ing hitters.

Q is a really dumb pitcher sometimes.

The Sox are such lazy f***ing hitters.

Melky is horrible. Why doesn't his dumbass just try to hit left handed.

Q made a bad pitch with 2 strikes on Castellanos.

It's time for Melky to get back on the juice.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 11:35 PM) Just the idea of calling Gillaspie and Beckham "good hitters" right now says all you need to about this season. Gordon, despite how good things look right now....is just an 0/12 away from .250. That said, he's definitely been one of the top 3 hitters on the team over the road trip, if not #1. I had the decent disclaimer on there but in reality people are getting on base in front of rally killers. You can't score run when you have mental midgets going up to bat.

FWIW there is plenty Ventura can do to improve this team. First, stack all your decent/good hitters in a row. Eaton, Avi, Beck, Gillaspie, Abreu and maybe sprinke in some LaRoche. Melky Sanchez and Flowers should all see less at bats. I don't care how much you paid a motherf***er, this team needs to be shook up and bad. This is why Ventura should be fired. He has no idea how to make adjustments.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 11:25 PM) Its Rodon's fault! He gave up the gave up the game-tying run.

Let's see how the future 1-2 punch works out. Sale followed by Rodon could be one of the filthiest in the league.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 01:16 AM) I'm past that stage. I want him as everyday second baseman. I'm assuming Gillaspie can hit as well as he did last year. 2B is a black hole in the order unless Beckham is in that hole. Sanchez will produce, just give him time. He had a nice hit with the bases loaded.

US Celluar field is in Bridgeport. Racist white people all over. It's super safe man.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 1, 2015 -> 11:25 AM) before the season, i would never have thought of that, but now.... i agree. the parity of both the al west and al east is what i am hoping is where the sox can pick up some wins. Sox already sporting a robust 5-1 record against the AL West.

Donnie Veal just gave a 2-Run HR to Joe Panik.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ May 31, 2015 -> 05:03 PM) The overall staff hasn't been consistent. If he wins 14 games they might see the postseason. More arbitrary bulls***.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 31, 2015 -> 04:36 PM) Danks showed he still has it. The guy is still in comeback mode and pitched with control today. Now we still have folks hating on him. Unbelievable! He gave up 10 hits. He was lucky today.

Danks is so frustrating. You never know which one you're going to get.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ May 31, 2015 -> 02:59 PM) Agree, it would be a hell of a throw from Charlotte. Womp womp get off your shtick son, it's old.

Gillaspie at DH isn't a terrible thing.
