Phew...ok I really thought they were going to screw that up

I’m going to call that they don’t change it

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 08:11 PM) Been fine tonight. Had been doing a good job of not throwing down the plate until this inning Guess I should have qualified the comment with...for a former top 10 pick. Not that his stuff is bad...just fairly ordinary

Obviously the D isn't helping...but is it me or is Fulmer's stuff really not that good?

This interview isn't working...just end it already

4 might be too high but I really like Tristan Pompey. Switch hitter with good eye/approach to go along with above average power and speed. And he has a frame that suggests he’ll only get bigger and stronger. I think he projects to a 20/20 guy with good D in LF who should be able maintain a good avg and obp

Why the F was Farquhar left out there???

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 09:39 PM) People keep bringing up trading Abreu. If they trade him, you have to ask for a top 10 prospect and then some. He’s great Top 10 in all of baseball or organizational top 10? Top 10 in baseball I doubt, maybe top 50. But I’m asking for multiple top 10 from a single team no doubt.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 09:26 PM) You're probably the same guy that gets butt hurt over a TD dance in football. How about you just sit Donaldson's ass on the bench instead of putting him on base. Nope, td celebrations are great. But if you choose to celebrate in an outwardly disrespectful way you better keep yourself head on a swivel because a safety or linebacker is going to try and take your head off. Fastball in the ribs is the equivalent. I miss the days of when a pitcher could actually be an intimidator in baseball. You’re probably the same guy that’s wants less contact in sports and more participation trophies. Back on topic: Jose is still great

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 09:17 PM) Meh. Sox homered right after him and got the last laugh. I just don't mind some trash talk. Ya let's hit the f***ing guy because he blew a whistle? Get over yourself. Hitting a guy in the ribs is a part of baseball. Get over yourself

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 09:10 PM) Daryl Boston and some guys laughed at Donaldson. Sometimes people in baseball are too uptight. The look on Donaldson's face wasn't a joke...it was him being a d bag. Just because a few guys laughed doesn't mean it wasn't a deliberate attempt of disrespect by Donaldson. I'll be surprised if he doesn't end up with a baseball in the ribs at some point in the season

Good job Yolmer

Overall a nice job by Lopez...national championship starts now but I'm tempted to leave the Sox on in the hopes some one in the pen takes Donaldson's head off

Yolmer accidentally made that play trying not to die...just kidding, nice play ...only sorta kidding tho

What the....

Jose is flat out 1 of the best pure hitters in baseball...don't care what anyone says

Ok...sorry Tim Anderson.

Dont love the call of a low slider on 3-2 to Grichick.

Do him a favor and call it an error...even tho it really was

Tim Anderson demonstrating exactly to never field a ground ball...keep doing that and it will be an error sooner rather than later

Yolmer! Dummy

Don’t care what his velocity is...throw some damn fastballs Yikes...another walk. He might not make it out of this inning

According to Yahoo Avi is out of the lineup tonight? Just took him out of my fantasy lineup because it says he's scratched. Leury and Delmonico in. I saw the twitter post with Avi in the lineup...is yahoo just wrong?

My guess is that he’ll be bouncing between AAA and the majors...no idea why so many are high on Delmonico. Just not enough of a track record consistently hitting well to think that he’s a major league player in my opinion, and not sure his D is good enough to keep him as a bench player...hopefully he can prove me wrong and he sticks with the team but I’ll be surprised if he’s ever more than the 25th man on the roster.

I'm going to say Ian Clarkin emerges as a true #3 starter candidate with a an era under 3.5 in AA
