QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 04:30 PM) Agree. He's brutal in the field and his baseball intelligence is very low. He'll get hot for a week or two offensively but then slump right back down. Granted its not a big deal this year with rebuilding but he needs to be let go when its over. Let a kid play who may have a future. Mark Avi is exactly the type of guy that should be playing right now. He looks good at the plate. His usual self in the field, admittedly. I am not a huge Avi fan, but you keep running him out there.

Nice W. Let's get the series tomorrow.

Too bad he can't play any centerfield.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 12:15 PM) While I am fully on board with the tank and rebuild, I am rooting for the Sox to win up until it's obvious they aren't any good. If they want to make that July or August instead of May I'm fine with that. If the team is winning more then expected it's because guys are having solid seasons and increasing their trade value or are proving good players for the next playoff team. If Matt Davidson wants to go ahead and hit 250/320/440 I am not arguing but cheering. + tax.

The Twins are not good at baseball. Win 2/3.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 04:42 PM) It was warmer than expected. It was less windy than expected. It worked out ok. Now I want to see Quintana pitch well on Sunday. We can all get behind that!!

Flavum..still think this game should have been called? lol

LOL @ AVI

Glad I decided to steam Geo in my 16 teamer this am....

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 03:37 PM) what's the origin of that gif? Here you go....

IT IS SUNNY!!!

Well that didn't take long.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 12:03 PM) We're gonna win the World Serious Some of those dude's videos are too good.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 11:13 AM) First off, if they're setting a rotation with fans in mind, they're playing with fire. I haven't second guessed anything this week- I've first guessed. Today should have been called. The Twins series should have been Shields, Holland, and Gonzalez. Quintana on Tuesday for the Indians home opener. I think you're just mad that your "they can just send the Tigers home Tuesday night" line didn't come to fruition. This is professional baseball in April. You don't cancel a game due to low 40s temps and wind. Get your ass out there and play.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 11:05 AM) Quintana starting Sunday. The Sox have made a lot of mistakes this week. What's wrong with that? You'd rather watch Covey?

Play the damn game.

Joy. I'd rather watch Beck, or Danish or pretty much anybody than Pelfrey. Hope he stays in Charlotte. By June, I am hoping our rotation is Q, Rodon, Lopez, Giolito and one of Shields, Gonzo, and Holland.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Apr 5, 2017 -> 04:06 PM) His response was pretty fair, I think. He also pretty much said that he'll give you another game if you complain at the end of the month. Agreed

How about #hopethesoxplayreallywellsowecantradeverythingwecanforgoodprospects Not much ring, but much more logical.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 11:42 AM) That is just it. I think we get MORE benefits from the team playing well and having assets to trade, than we do for moving up a few draft pick slots. Sure we get a better player up front, but I think potential packages for guys like Avi, Frazier, Melky, Robertson etc, would long outweigh the better draft pick position. We'd be getting multiple players back, who are closer to the majors, and more of a known quantity. Mmmhmmm. Etc is the key. Been saying it for weeks. Hoping for this team to be god awful is just silly, IMO.

Only watched bits and pieces, but that was ugly.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 07:57 PM) Lol. I can't make it tomorrow and I can get a non premium ticket for half of what I paid today on stubhub to any game later this season. Plus the 20 bucks I paid in parking. So it's not a deal at all. Not even close. Yet you wanted them to postpone the game this morning, and reschedule for tomorrow, even tho you still wouldn't have been able to go to the make up tomorrow? Me thinks you would have been mad no matter what happened.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 07:12 PM) I'll say it one more time. Looking at the forecast yesterday and this morning the weather the sox got from 3-6 today is the absolute best they could've hoped for. Yesterday storms were predicted during that slot, this morning just rain. They ended up with no rain/drizzle for 2 hours and light rain after that. If they didn't want to play in it then they should've called the game yesterday or this morning. Instead they got every fan there and got the absolute best weather they could've hoped for and still called it. s***ty move by a s***ty organization. I'm so glad I can trade my premium ticket for a non premium ticket though. Edit: and its not like you couldn't foresee this, at 2:30 there was barely any rain and the radar showed a huge window to get the game in. Technically you still get your premium ticket for tomorrow's game. And then you get a non premium ticket to an additional game for your trouble.

Welp, goes from a bad game time to an awful game time. I hate day games.
