Jose Abreu

Conor 0-4, always making Abreu lead off innings

For GameDayers Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 59s Adam Eaton just got drilled by a pickoff throw and it hurt him enough that he didn't try to get up after it got away from 1B. He's fine now.

Eaton 3-4, average is back where it should be at .281. It was around here prior to his slump.

Has De Aza's BAVG gone up .050 this month?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 25, 2014 -> 07:25 PM) That change up really dances sometimes Other times, it's a "throw this and the result will be an extra base hit" kind of pitch.

Cy Noesi out there today

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 25, 2014 -> 07:16 PM) I thought you can't block the plate anymore. QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 25, 2014 -> 07:17 PM) Yeah I'm confused he blocked the plate pretty hard there. I agree, what was Hawk saying?

Alexei WAS the best SS in the AL this year, but he's been stuck on 7 HR/36 RBI since May 25. It's June 25. His average has also dropped since then.

And because of this the Sox are giving away a signed Eaton bat on Twitter

I just saw an amusing Abreu vs Rizzo argument in Bleacher Report comments. I'll take .274/22/60 in fewer games over .288/17/44 any day.

Super sub? The way this guy's hitting, he's definitely a starter somewhere... however his defense does need to improve.

“It’s something that if I have to be there I’ll be there,” Abreu said through the team’s manager of cultural development, Lino Diaz. “But it’s something I’m not wishing to be there. It’s a great thing. It’s just one of those things I don’t particularly wish to be on.” (About Home Run Derby)

Abreu says he would not like to participate in Home Run Derby because it messes with mechanics

Don't do this 2 nights in a row...

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jun 24, 2014 -> 10:36 AM) Hasn't he only had one off day the entire season? I believe when he was slumping and even then he pinch hit. I highly, highly doubt he gets 7-10 off days the rest of the season unless he gets some sort of nagging injury. They will give him days off from playing 1st, but he will still DH. If you assume he plays every day the rest of the season he is on a 52/141 pace (would have been 57/154 without the DL stint). Pretty ridiculous. The days off would be due to ankle injuries or whatever problem he's been having. Plus, RV said he will get a day off this week.

I don't know if Abreu/Nieto/Remaining Cubans would like it if Viciedo or Alexei were traded. You definitely don't want to make Abreu upset

If he stays on this pace and plays in 140 games (has played in 63 of our 77, and likely will receive 7-10 off days), then he'll go 49/133. Has anyone else ever had those exact HR/RBI numbers? I thought Pujols, but he was 49/137.

Alright Robin pull him

Sale back out there

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 23, 2014 -> 08:02 PM) Start after start after start has to wear that thin body down some. He's got nothing in the reserve tank. Does Leury play SS? And I know Beckham played 1 game at SS last year.

Conor was hitting under .250 vs LHP before today, that's why he's batting #7 today.
