Jose Abreu

Honestly just drop Frazier to 7th or 8th in the lineup. Wake him up.

Melky single, Frazier GIDP, Morneau single. UGH

Unfortunately, it is too late. This strain is so powerful, even mere exposure to the 25-man roster is enough for infection.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:52 PM) As long as Kenny Williams is in the mix nothing will EVER change. The only good thing he's done lately is gotten rid of LaRoche

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:43 PM) He couldn't lay down a bunt in the 9th inning though in a situation that would have led to a tied game. Either he is incompetent or Robin was just an idiot. Regardless, something gotta change. I don't think there's a single prototypical big power guy who can lay down a bunt. You don't see Stanton, Encarnacion, Ortiz, Harper, etc. bunting. I'm total anti-bunt so I don't really care, but it is a little annoying that professional baseball players can't perform one of the most basic tasks in the game.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:43 PM) None of those players are core guys and for the most part can be easily replaced. But that's not my point. If we trade the guys you mentioned, I don't think we'll get enough in return to the point where it can be considered a rebuild. Also I do consider Cabrera to be a core guy since I consider him to be our best hitter, unless you're referring to his contract which is done after 2017, in which case, I agree.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:39 PM) Cabrera, Robertson, Frazier, Duke and Shields should be the main guys on the market. But if we do move those guys and keep Sale/Q etc. then we're doing one of those bulls*** "it's not rebuilding, it's retooling!! :)" things that will end up with us being .500. We need to commit to something, selling or buying, and go all in on that one thing. I'm tired of our front office's noncommittal attitude.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:37 PM) Where do these meatheads come from... seriously. I wonder if Giants fans or Rangers fans are this way after they lose games. I'm becoming convinced that the Ron guy who started the first 3 anti-Abreu threads has multiple accounts, and is posting them every day

I better see a mixed up lineup tomorrow. Sprinkle in some Saladino or Sanchez, shift people around, etc. edit- Sanchez just got sent down, probably for Turner

I'm becoming more open to selling, but if we're gonna do it, we have to do it right. No half-assing it. I mean trading Sale, Quintana, Abreu, Frazier, everyone 27 and over basically. I feel like if we sold, we'd keep one of Sale/Q and keep us perpetually average

Abreu had 2 hits today lmao

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:29 PM) That Frazier K was so predictable. Dude is nothing but a one tool player. Can we please have Trayce and Frankie back? The thing is, they aren't doing too well either

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:28 PM) I'm still pissed that Robin didn't have Abreu bunt. It's ridiculous this game isn't tied now I highly doubt Abreu knows how to execute a bunt

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:27 PM) Frazier is a homer or nothing guy. At least has good defen Nah, his defense has been below average this year by almost all metrics

What is that, 4 pitches and 7-8 pickoffs? Come on

Saladino really needs to shave

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:25 PM) Saladino was running on the 0-1 pitch? I hope that was a double steal Well, a delayed steal at third, but that would be risky in the 9th

Here comes the strikeout

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:19 PM) I don't get why Abreu wasn't bunting there? +1

Good take Abreu

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 10:14 PM) I agree but I was going to say I like that all our guys hustle down the line for the most part Most of our guys yeah. Sometimes, I notice an annoying lack of hustle from Melky and Abreu on grounders, and even from Eaton recently

There we go

What an outing for Shields
