We have so many hitters who swing at garbage in the dirt

QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 02:50 PM) I expect they'll trade Robertson if they can find a suitor. I wouldn't expect the return to be much more than a Tilson type. Otherwise, yeah. They're done. I don't see them trading Sale, Quintana, Frazier type players.

I feel like Rodon is never going to be the ace we all thought he would be

#12 prospect in the Cardinals organization From MLB: An Illinois prep standout taken in the second round of the 2011 Draft, Tilson is proving that perhaps it is not how you start, but how you finish. After missing his first full season with a shoulder injury, the speedy outfielder has put himself back on the map, including a 2015 season that saw him lead the Texas League in hits and stolen bases. Speed is indeed Tilson's best tool and it can serve him well both on the basepaths and in center field. He improved in terms of his basestealing skills in 2015, but the Cardinals would love to see him become even more aggressive, which they think will help him cut down on his caught stealing rate. Tilson has a good idea of what he's doing at the plate, albeit without power. He draws walks, drops down bunts and uses the whole field. With more experience, he has the chance to be a tick above-average in center field defensively, though right now he still outruns mistakes he makes with his jumps and routes. He has a below-average throwing arm. Tilson may profile best as a valuable fourth outfielder, though there's still a chance he can be a top-of-the-order catalyst and everyday center fielder.

Tilson looks like a life long 4th OF to me but maybe he has some starter upside. I would imagine he is on the club next year as the JB Shuck or could be the starting CF if we don't find anyone else. I do like that we got him from the Cardinals organization though.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 09:34 AM) The Yankees have talked to the Sox about Sale multiple times. This will start a Red Sox Yankees bidding war watch. I'll bet on it. Are the Yankees prospects that much better then Red Sox now?

Oh cool, I am blacked out?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 06:47 PM) Hope Jenna wins and stiffs Vinnie on the money They could be the team with the lowest combined IQ of all time

I hate umpires

Athleticism

Sale doesn't look like he has any good stuff tonight.

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 07:36 PM) He sucks more than Saladino. Saladino doesn't suck so your statement doesn't make much sense

Why do we have to give Sanchez a token start?

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 09:28 PM) Yes I am watching the game. He was at 100 pitches. And he gave up 1 hit in almost 7 innings. Your alternative is Albers with a runner on first. Seriously? He was leaving a lot of pitches up the last couple of innings, you can't always go off of hits and pitch count

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 09:24 PM) Completely agree. I was just telling my buddy I wouldn't leave him in to face Baez after 100+ pitches and the 4th walk. If it was proven talent like a Sale, Quintana, or maybe even Shields at times it is ok but a guy that was just in AAA that sucked in TEX earlier this year isn't someone you should gamble on late in a 1 run game

QUOTE (lord chas @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 09:17 PM) Cant be upset at a quality start Nope, got to be mad at this bad offense

Curtain call for a 2 run home run in the 7th inning in July. Nice.

f***!! Robin gambles too much on pitching that was previously in AAA

Oh man I hate umps

Navarro is bad right now

Damn it.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) Not a fan of this strike zone We don't get the outside corner

This is getting interesting

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 08:34 PM) Thought the pitcher AB was a safe time to go s***. Told myself I had to be quick so I could see Tim hit. Surprise you didn't do it when Saladino was up

Cubs fans trying to get the woman (who is a Sox fan) to throw the ball back. Hope they don't harass her about it
