Jose Abreu

I'd rather he not start. I think what he has working for him is his insane velocity, which could very well be diminished if he has to throw more pitches in a given outing

Jeff GoodmanVerified account ‏@GoodmanESPN Danny Ainge just walked into the Garden with a huge smile. He looked confident -- and should based on his track record of draft night deals.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:58 PM) What does this mean....that it is unlikely? I believe so. There is also a Oladipo +11 for Butler rumor floating around.

Mark Medina ✔ @MarkG_Medina I've sensed skepticism Chicago's Jimmy Butler is getting traded to Lakers in a deal involving No. 2 pick,

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:47 PM) This is where winning the first three games against Boston doesn't matter. Terrible AB's these last few innings I'd much rather have won the first 3 games and lost this one than lost the first 3 and won this one. I don't know what you're talking about.

What is Eaton complaining about

Inevitable strikeout coming?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:43 PM) He is so awful with runners on. Needs to cut down on his swing What's his average with runners on now, .055? Ridiculous

Almost a carbon copy of the top of the 8th so far

Surprised this ump didn't ring Avi up on another ball

Great AB for Avi

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:37 PM) I wanted Saladino. Coats should have ran for Avila IMO. Ah, fair enough

Good, that all but erases a GIDP chance

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:35 PM) Come on Avi, come through with a clutch hit for once. He'll even a sac fly. He has arguably the most clutch hit of the season for us

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:34 PM) PLEASE pinch hit for Avi here. With who? Coats?

Avila with a good day hitting, damn

The season is not even halfway over and Lawrie has equaled his 2015 walk total (28).

Abreu, Melky, and Frazier not working counts force us to see more Kimbrel. Ok good, a walk

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:29 PM) The irony of course being that Jones gave up the tying run with an empty slate in the 8th. But you never know what would have happened in the 7th

Garcia will homer with the bases empty and 2 outs in the 10th

Alright, I have a strange confidence that we'll win this game

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:25 PM) He went exactly 5, not more. His hat is safe. Technically, he pitched to 2 batters in the 6th, so he went 5+. Mmm, hat.

Does Ingram really project to be better than Butler? Simmons I'd understand, but Ingram?

Alright Hanley, give us a nice GIDP here
