QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 24, 2016 -> 09:18 AM) I'll be in attendance, and the Sox were 15-7 in games I attended last year... ??????

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Apr 24, 2016 -> 09:02 AM) You gotta love a board admin who constantly, each and every day, tries to derail and deflect constructive conversations around the ball players and team and turn those discussions into these kind of personal attacks and insults. Every single day this goes on. And the irony is that not one fan, in this case the ones discussing the problem that is Avi Garcia at the moment, not one of those fans comes off even remotely negative or miserable. The only time Misery rears it's ugly head is when SS2K5 and DA chime in and begin with the attacks and insults. It is only at those points in the discussion when the whole thing begins to go negative. Yup. I'm not miserable I'm f***ing estatic right now. Just want Avi gone. That doesn't make me miserable.

Sweeping Texas would be awesome. I just wanted 2 of 3. f*** it I'm greedy now I want the sweep.

I'm kind of excited just because we don't great catching prospects. Good cup o' coffee for Smith

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 24, 2016 -> 01:57 AM) More fuel for those who want Avi gone.... He ranks 2nd in the MLB at swing% of pitches OUTSIDE the zone. He swings at 45.1% of the balls he gets thrown. I've seen that with the naked eye

I'm done with Avi. He's showing no progression whatsoever.

Orioles won 8-3. Royals 11-6 Sox are 12-6!

5.2 IP 6Ks 0BBs 4 hits

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 05:58 PM) Horrible idea.....we need a hitter/power hitter as the DH, not a 38 year old who might hit .225 with 5 HR on the year Except for the fact that our DH is ass.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 05:54 PM) I just think it is a crappy way to watch baseball. Everyone is going to struggle. I don't know why you wouldn't look at the positives. If someone told you 18 games into the season Abreu and Frazier combined would be under .200, as would 3 other regulars, there is probably no way you anyone would possibly think they could be 12-6. They have been able to overcome it and win games. I am one person who is beyond thrilled because I know there is no way Abreu suddenly will never hit again or Frazier is a .200 hitter. I know Austin Jackson isn't a .160 hitter and Navarro is better than .100. I even know Avi isn't a .130 hitter. Avi if this keeps up will be replaced. Adam LaRoche was penciled in to be the DH against RHP. Just because we're b****ing about Avi albeit justified, doesn't mean we're not enjoying it. Navarro has a track record of hitting. AJax has had some productive outs, ABs and clutch hits. Avi is a black hole right now. He's lost at the plate. I don't know what AAA would do, but at least he could go there and work on things and not kill the Sox.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 05:55 PM) How many PAs and what's his BABIP in AAA? I don't care what he learns, I care that we get a scant bit of production from our DH as opposed to the nothing we're getting now. Exactly. Avi cannot even give us productive ABs. The only good thing he's done this series is a HBP. At least Sands has come up with some good ABs at times. I'd rather he be in there right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 05:34 PM) Wonder how healthy he is I'm sure his wrist is still sore. He'll be fine I think we all knew he'd struggle to start the season there

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 05:33 PM) you're my boy blue!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 05:27 PM) How do they have the potential to make the playoffs? Eaton iOS a punk who needs to be traded. Rollins is washed up. The league has caught up to Abreu. Frazier is the next coming of Dunn and LaRoche. Milky with no steroids is awful. Lawrie isn't any good. Avi might be the worst baseball player whoever lived. Avila is finished. Jackson is one of the worst players in baseball . They are managed by a no nothing who makes out insane line ups. I got all of that from this site this year and somehow they are 12-6. Even some of the pitchers including Sale get slammed. Sales a hot head who needs to go. A few weeks ago Latos would be released after 5 starts. Nate Jomes is great. Nate Jones sucks. Duke, Petricka, Putnam all awful. All these problems, yet they are a possible playoff team? Thanks for the sarcasm troll

4 pitcher no hitter

Anderson 0-4 K

Listening to it now. 2 outs away. Anderson up

I'm damn sure enjoying this 12-6 start but Avi needs to go. It's a discussion board we are going to discuss this teams flaws.

He needs a couple months at AAA to clear his head and work on things. Bring up Coats and send Avi down.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 04:58 PM) When Rollins hit into the force out at the plate, I don't know what Austin Jacson was doing but he would have been an easy force out for a DP if the catcher threw to 3rd. He didn't. Sox win. 12-6 with a roster of minor leaguers and a manager that shouldn't manage a little league team. Amen

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 04:51 PM) There was about 20k there today. They don't stay at baseball games in extra innings and many moved to the sunny part where it actually was warm. I did find out from a guy sitting behind me before the last AB, Jose Abreu had no business being on a major league field and he also sai David Robertson is too scared to be a closer. Boy that's a real hot take

Fell asleep. Woke up for the 11th. Damn Todd was robbed of a homer earlier. Great walk off win for Sox and Jose to come through

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 23, 2016 -> 02:59 PM) Dioner: "I CAN SUCCEED WHERE FIELDER FAILED" LOL

Good f***ing god I know he has no arm in CF but Navarro can't run lol

Good try
