Jose Abreu

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 01:04 PM) People are going to say this is an overreaction, but stuff like this is exactly why Robin shouldnt be the manager. He's weakening the OF defense in a stadium with a massive outfield for a pitcher that will likely have a lot of balls put in play against him. Not only that, but you're keeping your 2 current weakest hitters in the lineup and sitting the one that is actually hitting and has experience against this pitcher? Not to mention you're moving Melky up to the 2 hole despite a complete absence of on base ability thus far this season? Just absolutely clueless IMO. This is probably the only overreaction in your post. I don't think three games makes his on base ability so horrible that he can't bat second. I agree with the rest.

I noticed that in his commercial, the retired numbers are still behind home plate. It must have been shot a while ago?

Adam Eaton enters the game leading all of baseball in batting average (.636), OBP (.692), and hits (7).

Kendall Graveman? Sounds like the type of scrub who would shut us down.

Day game on Thursday so I'll go ahead and post. Game 4 Sox @ A's Eaton (3): Saladino (3): Abreu (1): Jose Abreu Frazier (1): Melky (3): Avi (3): Lawrie (3): Condor13 Catcher (3): Jackson (3):

gotta hand it to their pitching, but we were 0-16 with runners on.

well, with Latos tomorrow, who can know what we'll get.

Now the count is 5-0

4 balls, 2 of them called strikes. Taking the bat out of his hands.

That was a strike?? Give me a break

actually thought semien would drop it

swing at all the pitches!!!

Eaton and Rollins sitting by each other in the dugout! Alert the media!

well, at least it wasn't a DP

please don't swing at what will likely be a garbage 1-2 pitch

TERRIFIC at bat. 8 pitches and a hit.

all right, he's battling

Melky, please do not bunt... come on

Calling it now, JB Shuck pinch hits for Avi!

Alright, let's get to this non-closer

good idea from avila/lawrie. you'd never see that last year

wow, another missed call

Petricka has been getting squeezed.

nevermind
