Jose Abreu

QUOTE (1dog @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 01:54 PM) Stupid question, can you tell me where you can look up stats by dates like that? Most use FanGraphs. I used BaseballReference, went to Tyler Flowers' batting page, moused over "splits", hit "2014", and it gave me his monthly stats. I had to add his hits and divide them by ABs, though.

Triple Crown Update- .318 (.014 behind Altuve) 98 RBI (4 ahead of Ortiz) 33 HR (1 behind Cruz)

KKKKKKKKK (9). Sale finally beats V-Mart.

I hate the wide belief that on 0-2, you have to be safe and pitch way out of the zone. All it does is elevate your pitch count. If you're going to try to strike him out, then don't wait until you've thrown 2-3 balls in a row.

Eaton just missed a triple. Nice catch by Hunter.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 01:30 PM) Felix has been pretty bad the last 3 starts. The problem is, Sale has looked pretty bad recently, too.

Flowers has so much power, he just doesn't know how to use it right.

Nice catch Eaton!

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 1m Adam Dunn with career home run No. 460. It surprises me that no team has traded for him as a power bat for September.

Dunn! 5-3!

All of you who laughed at Abreu's triple crown hopes, he's at .317 now. It's possible.

Abreu! RBI 98!

Alexei RBI 2B. 3-2

Eaton now up to .314. He's on an incredible tear. There's a stolen base.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 12:59 PM) His fastball has been 91-93 the past couple of innings. Good, he's realized his mistake. He was at 96-97 during the first inning.

6 Ks through 3 for Chris. Apparently, Ks and speed are all he cares about now.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 12:55 PM) I think unless something crazy happens, they know they need an upgrade. He is below .200 since the end of April. I had to look this up to verify. He's at .199 since 5/1.

QUOTE (1dog @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 12:32 PM) It doesn't appear we have any. For instance, the fat POS playing 1B today, messing around with the first guy to get a single. Maybe it's just me, but I don't like that stuff. Abreu basically has a non-stop conversation with anyone that speaks Spanish over there too. That's just part of the game. Did you play baseball as a kid? Every time you're in the field and your friend is standing on the base closest to you, you guys chat.

QUOTE (venom4789 @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 12:30 PM) could be a long day for the white sox, how has sale looked his last few starts, one of my friends thinks he maybe hurt, but he is also my same friend who thought alexie ramirez was on steriods. Sale has gotten much worse since he tweaked his windup and starter throwing 96/97. I think those are the problems.

The Tigers' pitchers try pickoff moves way too often. They deserved both of the pickoff errors this series.

Hawk: Alexei is 7-54 lifetime against Scherzer. Check that, he's 11-40. Check that, he's 7-54.

Eaton is on a roll. Another base hit and he's hitting .312.

We're gonna give Sale 1-2 runs, if we're lucky. That being said, this game is over in the 1st inning.
