Jose Abreu

Yay, Beckham batting 2nd... against a righty... he's hitting .195. .125 when batting 2nd...

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 04:00 PM) My guess, 6-2 Royals victory tonight You think we get two runs? Anything over zero is probably a bad bet.

And that's the game. Positives: -Eaton's power -Saladino's hitting approach -Defense Negatives: -Hitting

Saladino sucks at hitting homers.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:53 PM) Is there an actual legitimate reason to replace Soto with Bonafacio? I seriously cant think of one Holland is much more effective vs RH hitters

Why is Bonifacio PHing over Shuck??? wtf edit: nevermind

Hey, a CS!

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:42 PM) Which of the 3 headed monster is most susceptible to giving up runs? Herrera

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:42 PM) Is there any reason they didn't pitch Sale in Game One to suggest to the Royals maybe we came to compete this weekend? Weird organization. Sale must be hurt or sore or something.

Let's take his 0.46 ERA and make it... well s***, it would still be under 1

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:36 PM) https://twitter.com/TheBlogfines/status/622141937529810944 Sorry for Cubs link but it needs to be seen. The good old 4-6-3 putout!

A 1-2-3 inning for... Dan Jennings? That can't be right. Gameday must be f***ing up.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:27 PM) I'm hoping they're going to give him a shot at SS. I can't imagine they have money to fill that position next year while also filling some of the other gaping holes on this roster and he's been a solid defensive SS in the minors. He's got a shot to be a tolerable SS for next year, let's give him that shot. And the year after it's Anderson's

And here comes the rain (in the suburbs)... I guess not watching the game is a good thing.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:25 PM) He just got 4 days of rest! It's not just rest, it's his play. Also, four days of rest is nice, but playing two 9 inning games in 9 hours is tough.

With Bonifacio, Gillaspie, Sanchez, Ramirez, Beckham, and Saladino all on the roster, Alexei better be sitting out game two.

Saladino's average has increased from .200 to .308 today.

Saladino's having a great day

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:19 PM) I dont blame Alexei. He is aging and becoming a lesser player as most baseball players do. I lean toward blaming management for not trading him when they should have before. He gave us a lot of good years of decent baseball so I am really not angry at either side. But they better find a way to replace him by next year. Well put. +1

QUOTE (bjm676 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:19 PM) They'll need a long man/mop up guy in Game 2. Good point

Webb and Jennings warming. Looks like no Montas in game one.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:03 PM) Schwarber might be better than Bryant IMO Doubt it. Bryant will have a better career

100% of Rios' HRs are against us. The first was on Opening Day.

8 pitches, that's what happens

After 8 mins, the Sox deleted that tweet
