Another QS for Rienzo. Him and Carroll have been great for this team

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 4, 2014 -> 12:25 PM) Not when it matters I should of rephrased that and asked does he ever hit the ball hard..

Does Danks ever hit the ball

Nice swing by Jose! Need more of that!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 4, 2014 -> 02:12 AM) I would worry about quality of competition with that particular school. We drafted a guy who was at a junior college in the first round last year. There are players drafted out of junior colleges, community colleges, and smaller colleges then Southeast. I know he won't be picked in probably the top 15 rounds, but after I think he will be a great pick up and will be a fun bat to follow.. Not many first basemen our switch hitters who have power from both sides of the plate. Here is what he did in the prospect summer league after his sophomore season: Prospect League Stats

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 4, 2014 -> 10:21 AM) Morgan as in Nyjer Morgan? Yes

Harrison Barnes was trying to foul Jordan before JJ hit that 2 point shot but the refs didn't give it to him

Wanted the Warriors to win but it isn't looking good

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 3, 2014 -> 05:07 PM) There is a guy I want us to draft in the later rounds: Matt Tellor out of Southeast Missouri State. He is a senior 1B. Currently batting .380, 14 Home Runs, 59 RBI's, 15 doubles, .659 Slugging %, .435 OBP He is currently top 5 in the nation in both Home Runs and RBI's Oh and he is a switch hitter. I go to the same school as him and have seen him play a lot. The ball jumps off his bat from both sides of the plate. I am going to bump this. I would like to hear opinions.. There were at least 4 scouts at the game today video taping his at bats, 2 of which were home runs batting Right handed.. And he has more power left handed. Both were hit at least 390 feet.

Oh man..

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 3, 2014 -> 07:32 PM) Cleto's of no use if he can't throw strikes. Doesn't that apply to everyone?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 3, 2014 -> 07:28 PM) Book on Abreu now is throw low and outside slider out of zone he will chase it EVERYTIME! Hope everyone enjoyed April scouts have found his weakness. RISP F'N sucks. Especially first pitch. He assumes he will get a fastball down the middle and doesn't even recognize that it isn't even close to the plate

It is easier to get Abreu out then people think.. He simply can not recognize off speed well at all.

Come on Jose, stop swinging at that s***

Good news: Keppinger just hit a home run for AA

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 3, 2014 -> 07:10 PM) Ravelo is a guy who doesn't get a lot of attention. I get that hasn't hit homers, but the numbers he's putting up so far are outstanding and he's young for his level. I hope he doesn't turn out to be a Jeff Abbott-type. He has been getting tons of attention by Soxtalk

Thanks Scott for giving us another good outing. Sorry the defense sucks and we can't hit anymore

If the ump didn't know it hit him, why is he sending him to first base? It isn't up to the hitter to tell you if it hit him

"Hey Ump, the ball hit me." "Oh ok, go to 1st"

That was a funny play. Not sure I have seen that before, I know its been done but never seen it

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 3, 2014 -> 06:47 PM) Apparently Carroll put out a video on youtube....homemade, thanking everyone and saying that he will endorse ANYTHING, whatever you need, he's your man. Some needed levity this week. Does anyone have a link to that? Great sense of humor from the kid. Refreshing story and a breath of fresh air. I am pretty sure he made that 2 years ago and has been posted a bunch

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 3, 2014 -> 06:46 PM) Nothing more Sox could ask for IMO. He has been more then what we could ask for

Fantastic effort by the offense so far.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 3, 2014 -> 06:40 PM) Beckham pulling everything. And softly

How did they give that bunt a hit?? He clearly would have been out if Flowers could throw the baseball to Jose's chest.
