Jose Abreu

Why does Saladino sit so often?

Bulls in 7. There's not a team in the Eastern Conference playoffs that we match up with better. Thomas is his typical playoff self (leaving Boston struggling on offense), Wade/Butler/Rondo excel, Chicago dominates the boards, and the Bulls' role players play serviceable basketball. For the Bulls, it's W, L, W, L, L, W, W. Book it.

QUOTE (ChrisLikesBaseball @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 04:39 PM) That's the rumor I've heard. Plus, that uniform is available to use in MLB The Show 17 on PS4 which is often an indication that it'll make an appearance. To be fair, that uniform is available for use in MLBTS every year I can remember, in addition to many other uniforms we never actually wear during the season.

White Sox need to do s*** like this when they're good let alone rebuilding. I'm like the 6th person in America that has never watched GOT but this is a pretty solid idea.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 5, 2016 -> 05:51 PM) I'm a junior in HS. Girl is into me and I think I am also into her (she is a Sox fan and literally can recite Sox player stats/sabermetrics AND is pretty. Too good to be true right?). Problem is that she is a graduating senior who will go to college in Louisiana, and there's like, a 1% chance I go to college there. This is on par with what I usually hear. I don't think cheating would be as much of an issue with this girl, but I could see jealousy (both ways). In the age of the smartphone and near-constant communication, I'd hope that some of these problems are less prevalent now. Yes, I graduate in May 2017 and the girl graduates in a couple weeks. It seems like a horrible idea, but we have so much in common and it would be hard to not try to make something work. Lol, I knew I probably posted this in here. I disregarded everyone's advice (you guys, friends, parents, etc.) and went with the long distance relationship, and we're somehow approaching our 1-year anniversary in a couple weeks. No big problems either. I'm honestly surprised, but in a good way.

QUOTE (AJUribe @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 11:45 PM) I've heard whispers he may be available by the trade deadline. From my sources losing the first two starts have tempered interests in a few possibly contending team. Yeah, that losing start yesterday was horrible. 2 runs allowed?! Contending teams don't want a guy like that!

Cabrera Anderson Abreu Frazier Asche Garcia Sanchez Narvaez May So no Saladino or Davidson

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 07:18 PM) I was at the game and where they play Maurer is incredible. If he hit one into the RF corner, he would have an easy triple. Avi was at least 120 feet off the line maybe 150 feet. May was in LC. Maurer hit one pretty much right at him where had they been playing straight up probably is a double unless the traded for Buxton. One thing the Sox don't get enough credit for is their many defensive shifts and the relative execution rate of the shifts.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 10:11 PM) May has shown no baseball IQ at all. He's so far away from being a big leaguer QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 10:11 PM) He just walked two straight, why are you swinging at the first pitch!??! Godspeed, Tilson

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 10:10 PM) I have never heard of Yolmer Sanchez. Bad moderator I am, I know But have you heard of Carlos Sanchez?

Wow, this guy seems rattled.

Terrific AB. He's always good in the clutch

Avi is really working counts this year

Frazier's taking this guy yard on 3-1. Book it.

Random but is Abreu the only player who doesn't wear the new helmets?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 02:21 PM) Well, they both will continue to get at bats on a regular basis while one emerges over the other (one game sample size for each so far is nothing). But we have a very large sample size of Asche MLB at-bats. We have next to nothing with Davidson. It can't hurt to make him full-time DH.

Davidson was benched so I am now going with A. Garcia.

Twins come in undefeated, somehow. Hopefully they keep winning games this season to help us #TankForBeer

Assuming we're still doing the superstitious game thread starter thing this year, tomorrow's should be up no later than 10 AM CT.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 05:43 PM) Can we kill that gif? ^

QUOTE (daggins @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 12:37 PM) I think its more that the Sox screwed up and traded a good prospect before he had a chance to show anything. Kudos to the Padres, I guess. Other publications are high on Tatis, its not like Law is alone. Why does there need to be a conspiracy or grudge? What happened to Occam's Razor? What did Tatis show, exactly?

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 6, 2017 -> 12:25 PM) Jose, are you saying that IF the Sox had never traded Tatis, Jr, and IF he were still with the Sox, that Law would not have him ranked as high as he is now ranked? Yes.
