Jose Abreu

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.

Bruce Chen DFA'd!!

Even with an ERA .22 better than Felix (as of now), Sale still wouldn't win it.

QUOTE (venom4789 @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 10:15 PM) why is vicedo at first now, anything happen to jose. hurt his hamstring

Abreu at .316 now

Abreu's average keeps rising. .315 now. Edit- There's another hit. .316 now.

3-2

Someone please explain to me without using WAR why Trout supposedly has a huge lead over Abreu. Yes, he is a good baserunner and he fields well, but hitting is the biggest factor in MVP voting, and Abreu has more HR, RBI, and a much better AVG.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 10:18 PM) Nice job by Ventura with the pen tonight. Never thought I'd see that posted. But I agree. Credit where credit's due.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 10:13 PM) I'm with ya! This is a dumb move. Totally idiotic! Oh wait.... nevermind! Robin is the best manager ever!

3 to go. Guerra has had a great series.

3-2. The guys in NY are trembling at the prospect of Cleveland losing this game.

Now what's happening? What is this???

Is this a joke?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 27, 2014 -> 09:26 PM) This thread is dead. All the recent game threads have been like this. Dog days of August.

Perez "blocked" the plate... this should be reserved

Sanchez and Eaton came through with a single and a double to start the inning

2nd and 3rd, 0 out for Alexei
