Jose Abreu

QUOTE (ptatc @ May 25, 2016 -> 07:40 PM) OK. Just remember to not complain about wasted innings when there is a deadspot every third inning. Would you rather have every Eaton-started/continued rally end with Rollins batting and Frazier or Abreu on deck?

QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 25, 2016 -> 07:10 PM) Not ready is not ready. Can you believe Beckham has been our best defensive draft pick since 2006? YIKES Well, he's pretty damn good at defense. But wait, wouldn't Saladino, Carlos Sanchez, or Cleuluis Rondon challenge him on that? edit- not Rondon, forgot we traded for him

QUOTE (He Gawn @ May 25, 2016 -> 05:02 PM) Whatever we do, please stop batting Rollins second. He is a momentum killer. It makes 0 sense to have an automatic out batting in between or best hitters simply due to the fact that we cling to some outdated traditional notion of what a 2 hitter should be. ^

lol

lmao what

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 25, 2016 -> 03:04 PM) Trust me, I am all on the Saladino train unless Anderson is ready to come up. I agree. I don't really dislike Rollins' game that much, but I do dislike him batting 2nd, especially when he is being outperformed by Saladino. You don't give your 2nd worst hitter in the lineup (Avila being worst) the 2nd most plate appearances over the course of a season

This is where we need Lawrie to pump the team up and get a rally started

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 25, 2016 -> 03:00 PM) Wait, isn't that the lineup we used yesterday? So far, it's doing better than today's

Quintana has to be done now. QS, 115 pitches

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 25, 2016 -> 02:53 PM) Every struggling SP rights the ship against the hitless wonders. Hahn needs to upgrade now. Matt Harvey is next!

I've been saying it all week, but: Eaton Jackson Frazier Cabrera Abreu Lawrie Garcia Catcher Saladino And Abreu can move back to 3 if he keeps hitting

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 25, 2016 -> 02:50 PM) Eaton not having a good game. Aside from the HR, this is a series to forget for him. Wasn't he like, 0-9 in the DH too?

Don't worry guys, competent #2 hitter Jimmy Rollins shall save us!

QUOTE (flavum @ May 25, 2016 -> 11:01 AM) Matchups the next two series: Gonzalez vs Duffy Rodon vs Ventura Latos vs Kennedy Sale vs Volquez Quintana vs Harvey Gonzalez vs Matz Rodon vs deGrom Watch Harvey shut us down...

Rollins should seriously consider batting RH full-time

Abreu

Basically asking "How many wins would Sale get in 23-24 (162/5 = 32.4, and the .4 is usually allocated between the #1 and #2 starters) remaining starts", and then adding 9 to it. That said, I'll go with 13 wins in those starts, 22 overall.

I was surprised to not see a Shuck/Kahnle swap last night

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 24, 2016 -> 12:40 PM) I'm going with Ishikawa being released (although they haven't made a corresponding move for Johnson being optioned yet). I expect Shuck or Garcia or maybe another reliever to be called up. Moves are done. Kahnle stayed, Johnson and Sanchez went down. 26 to 25.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 24, 2016 -> 12:34 PM) I think Johnson was guy #26. Called up only to pitch the second game of the DH. Sanchez went down too. I read that Kahnle was guy #26 and the Johnson/Sanchez move was just a regular move.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 23, 2016 -> 10:43 PM) That game was...very underwhelming. Oh well. We can't really complain about a split. Just win with Sale and Q. 3/4 is fine. 3/4 is only fine?? You seem hard to please!

QUOTE (fathom @ May 23, 2016 -> 10:42 PM) Avila looks so weak this year. No bat speed at all and cannot hit anything moving down. Very disappointing offensive production from the catchers this year. Didn't get the signing at the time. I understand his incremental defensive appeal, but I don't think it's worth his horrid offense

Lawrie with his 4th walk of the day

I forgive Frazier there. 4-7 with a HR and BB on the day... plus great defense

Eaton's BA dropped hard today
