QUOTE (reiks12 @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 08:01 PM) you can tell that Hawk is mad at Abreu, very good play. Hawk is not impressed Pretty easy to be mad at him right now. He's been horrific.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 07:53 PM) Harvard book smart, yes. Baseball general manager smart, no results yet to support that claim. Very debatable

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 04:27 PM) Well you wouldn't really be saving money if you don't really want the mlbtv part haha unless you're saying that you already pay for mlbtv so might as well just add MiLBtv for $25 haha I already have MLB.tv. Have for years. I watch nearly every Sox game, and I've never lived in the state of Illinois, so its always been a necessity. I thought about ordering Milb.tv the other day. $49 just seemed a bit steep considering I probably will only use it every now and then. But for $25, heck, why not. That said, looks like it was maybe something I needed to do before the season started and I was charged for mlb.tv. I can't find a way to get the milb.tv for half off right now. If anyone knows how, let me know, and thanks in advance.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 12:53 PM) My friend has an MLB.tv subscription, and if you pair Milb.tv with it, you get it for half off. So I currently have it for $25. Is that right, hmm. That may have just swayed me.

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 03:57 PM) There is no way on God's green earth that Saladino nails down second base over Moncada. Yes. Saladino will be shifted to 3B when Moncada comes up. Actually wouldn't be totally blown away to see the Sox put Saladino in CF when Moncada comes up, assuming Frazier is still on the roster. Yes, I know Saladino hurt himself playing in the OF. But honestly, he's probably the 3rd most suitable guy to play there on the roster currently.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 02:41 PM) May is horrible in CF. He turned an out into an inside the park home run yesterday. He has not hit a ball with authority and mainly just strikes out. Leury Garcia on the other hand has played a decent CF. Two big plays the other day. One with his glove and the other with his strong throwing arm. There is an opening in CF for Moncada if he wants to earn it. He just needs to get off the idea that he can play second base at the major league level. He did anything but prove that during ST. He has played 0 professional innings in the OF. While I agree he probably profiles pretty well in CF, don't think the Sox send him out there unless he proves he cannot play the IF at the major league level. Thats at least a full year away.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 02:08 PM) So what the hell is going on with Frazier? Seriously..dude must be quite ill.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 12:11 PM) May can defend a major league CF today. His bat wasn't even AAA ready last year. It doesn't look much better in a small sample size this year. Yep, we're in agreement. It's a shame we don't have anything remotely interesting to try instead until Tilson is healthy.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 11:57 AM) Why? L. Garcia is outhitting him this season thus far. Because he has a better bat than than Leury (2017 SSS be damned) and May. I was all for giving May a shot at CF, so I'm not mad about the move or anything. But its obvious he has no business in the big leagues, and probably never will.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 10:44 AM) So this is probably their best lineup right now, right? Saladino Cabrera A. Garcia Abreu Davidson Frazier Narvaez Anderson L. Garcia Most likely yah. Would look much better W Bourjos in there. Sucks we don't have anyone else we can throw out there in CF. May needs to go back to AAA. Engel has been awful in AAA. Tilson is not expected back til June sometime, right?

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 09:24 AM) What is a realistic return for Robertson at the deadline if he has a dominant first half? By dominant, I mean 90%+ in save opp, ERA Could he net a top 25 prospect? A guy like Jimenez if the Cubs bullpen implosion continues and Davis gets hurt? Or a guy like Robles if the Nats feel they are a closer away from being a title contender? If he is lights out the first half, I could see a back end top 25 guy, plus a an organizational 10-15 guy. I don't think we'll be getting a top 10-12 guy, which is what Jimenez and Robles are. But I don't doubt that Rick will ask.

Would love to see Holland keep pitching well. Was always a fan of his when healthy on the Rangers. Lets win another series, Sox!

Jose needs to figure out hit again.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Apr 16, 2017 -> 02:07 PM) Don't get me wrong, I'm all for tanking and everything...but WOW that lineup is awful. Not exactly a bunch of options w Melky gone and Frazier sick. Timmy needs a day. Is what it is.

Cody Asche blows

Pretty amazing he got into the 6th after that first inning.

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 15, 2017 -> 02:50 PM) Recurrence of flu-like symptoms Thanks

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 15, 2017 -> 02:49 PM) Exactly...so why am I getting scrutinized for saying that Hahn screwed up by not trading him in the offseason? Perhaps the offers weren't there but the uncertainty of his future could be getting into Q's head at this point and negatively impacting his performance. SSS, and he's controlled for 4 years.

Any update on why Frazier left the game?

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 15, 2017 -> 02:01 PM) This is awful. Hahn f***ed up big time. Jose Quintana is controlled thru 2020. 2 starts to begin 2017 is not going to define him. That said, he obviously needs to figure it out.

Hi Shipps.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 10:41 AM) You are such a pessimistic dude, ChiSox59. LOL Lol. How is that pessimistic? I live in Minneapolis and have tickets for Friday and Sat so I have been following the weather all week. How does reporting the weather make me pessimistic? It's literally supposed to start thunder storming at game time both Friday and Sat. It looks like the storms have moved back a bit tonight, but still north of 50% chance of rain from game time on. In terms of a pessimism spectrum on this forum, id be near the bottom.

Rain has gone from 90% at game time last night to 60% this morning. Progress. Sunday may be the only game they get in.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 08:30 PM) The fact that he can't see the ball is bad enough, the constant rambling makes it intolerable IMO. He just sounds miserable. He sucks the joy out watching the game. Far more enjoyable than Bennetti comedy hour(s).

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 03:42 PM) Asche cannot be removed. He must play. Comments from Ricky on your boy, Cody. Renteria on Asche
