Jose Abreu

Well, bases loaded no outs and no runs looks inevitable now. Red Sox paying us back for El Duke the other night

Just don't strike out Tim. Even a grounder could be ok, he's fast so a DP isn't a sure thing

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:46 PM) I'm not a mod. And this is hardly trolling. Also, you can't have the same guys pitch every single night. Otherwise we wouldn't even have Chris Beck on the team in the first place. You wouldn't prefer to have Jennings, who hardly broke a sweat, stay in the game?

Insurance runs please

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:42 PM) Bradley with the bunt saved that inning LOL Yeah, that's your centerpiece in a Chris Sale deal right there!

Alright, Jones-Robertson have no breathing room now but at least we left with the lead

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:36 PM) Would Burdi be the third best guy in the pen right now? Eh... I think it's hard to really expect guys to come straight from college and be effective MLB pitchers. Chris Sale was an anomaly. I think Burdi could be better than Beck/Purke/Ynoa, but not the true MLB guys

Uehara warming up, you know what that means more home runs for us!

A little luck there but still a good play.

The problem will be diluted once Putnam returns, but I think adding a bullpen arm is as important as adding a bat to this team.

Time to give the runs right back! Great. Should've stayed with Jennings.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:27 PM) Nothing like a bad AAA pitcher getting important at bats Better than a bad AA pitcher getting important at-bats, no? Because that was Tyler Danish a couple weeks ago against Detroit. Baby steps

It would be nice to have Putnam healthy, as Putnam-Jones-Robertson seems infinitely better than a Beck/Purke combo-Jones-Robertson.

Chris Beck?! Well, he better be on a short leash

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:23 PM) I think Abreu likes Fenway park. Especially RF Poor Red Sox, they did try to sign him! I imagine his numbers would be better if he played for Boston, not just because they'd have no runners on base, but because Abreu seems to hit well at Fenway like you said

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:22 PM) I want to see Jones in the 7th vs top of order Agreed, but then I'm worried about the 8th

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:22 PM) FOOL'S GOLD Eternally mediocre! Trade Sale trade everyone blow it up!! Ah, overreactions are entertaining.

They hit him twice in the series, but he hit them harder

CALLED IT!! Should've posted it, damn it, I told my friend he was gonna hit a bomb so it's worth nothing here

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:18 PM) Am I the only one who wants to see a double steal with these guys on base? Honestly, with Anderson's speed, it's an enticing risk. I wouldn't mind it, as long as he gets a good lead

On the bright side, the Anderson/Eaton 1-2 punch looks very good so far and should be here for quite some time.

Wow, Eaton with 2 bunt singles in 1 day

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:13 PM) Albers has been so inconsistent. But, offensively we have had our chances Yeah, the Garcia DP last inning looms large now.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:08 PM) After Ortiz walked, that should have been it, but Coop loves to boast about his QS stats so he risked it. Bad inning for this coaching staff. Agreed. The QS stat is dumb to begin with and you should try to win games before you try to improve your personal agenda

Nice pick off
