f*** off Ventura. Now you bring in Jones. God he's awful.

Just got home. Why isn't Jones in?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 03:03 PM) Both with huge ERAs over last 9 starts or so It's very disappointing for sure.

Our two best pitchers pitching like s*** against the Braves. Woof

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 02:15 PM) Telling a baseball announcer to shut up and just announce the game is such a ridiculous comment. There's not that much going on in baseball guys. This ump needs to shut up and just ump

The AS game is for WS home field. It's far from meaningless.

But Anderson doesn't walk?! Lol please. He's fine at lead off for now.

Sucks though. Not his fault he gets awful run support.

Sox lose this series Ventura needs fired.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 12:23 PM) I disagree. They want to keep him. May be true. I just think if a team overpaid they would. No one is untouchable. I'm a huge fan of his so I don't want him moved but this team has gone nowhere and isn't a playoff team.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 12:03 PM) First time two Colombian born starters will start against one another Always liked Teheran and wanted him on the Sox. More Colombians!

Can Q get run support again and pitch well? Hope so

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 08:57 AM) I wonder if they keep him there until he gets a few good games under his belt, or if he's going to Winston-Salem soon either way. Personally, I think he should have a couple good games of solid contact. I agree. Get him feeling well hitting the ball.

He needed a DL trip to work on things actually. This comes at a fine time.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 10:42 AM) No, he hasn't been moved because we're not selling. If a team overpaid for him he'd be gone.

Quintana will throw a no hitter today and still not be an All-Star

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 07:33 AM) They'd get an absolute haul for Jose Quintana or he would not be going anywhere. That's why he hasn't been moved yet. But if Boston comes calling with Moncada, Benintendi, Devers. They better consider it. Trading Q only may actually be beneficial if we could get a small haul and acquire another starter like a Hellickson to take his spot. I just really want Anderson and Moncada to be my SS 2B combo.

Working today so If they suck again I'll miss it

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 10:50 PM) Hell of a start to the season for Collins Meanwhile Delvin Perez is smoking hot in the Cards system. Just bring him up because a couple months ago I saw his name bantered. I loved the Collins pick. He'll be ok. Maybe he'll be a slow starter like Anderson was? We'll see how it plays out in the coming months.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 12:34 AM) Aren't the Sox like one or two over .500 with Anderson aboard? That's not exactly a great team. Folks, I worship Anderson. I have no complaints. But cmon. It's embarrassing to have a leadoff hitter with one walk in as many at bats as he has. He has no chance of drawing a walk which means the law of averages over 500 or 550 at bats is going to give him at maximum, about a .275 average. If he was selective and could walk a reasonable amount, he'd be AWESOME. he's got some pop, so mercifully move him to fifth or sixth in the order. If you must have him that high, bat him second and he can advance Eaton. If you are worried about Tim's strikeouts, again, bat him fifth or sixth. It's just beyond belief this guy can't get on base unless it's via bat on ball. MOVE HIM DOWN, ROBIN. It's just gonna be a matter of time the baseball gods thrust him in a 1-for-25 type slump and get that average way down. Why? Cause he won't walk. Then who goes into the 2 spot? That was a black hole before Eaton. He's at least competent there.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 09:31 AM) Long term, probably not. But while both he and Eaton are hot in the 1-2 spots, and the team is winning, you roll with it. It definitely has bolstered the offense. It's really boosted our 2 spot. Little bit of a hit OBP because ya don't get the walks but I like this 1-2. Tonight showed a flash with the double steal. Their speed can cause problems

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 12:23 AM) Believe I said that a page ago. Absolutely. And the cost will be high. Ah. Didn't see it. It was interesting nonetheless. Personally, I hope they gel even though they're an odd trio. Definitely off Rose was dealt, I didn't see this coming.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 10:37 PM) The Sox aren't selling. Oh I know I was just asking hypothetically obviously.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 08:40 PM) 1. TOR +11 (7 straight wins) 2. BOS +9 3. HOU +6 1 1/2 GB 4. DET +3 3 GB 5. CHW/KCR +2 3 1/2 GB (both teams currently losing, KC by 2 late) 7. SEA +1 4 GB 8. NYY -2 5 1/2 GB Getting close to being able to stick a fork in the Yankees. The Mets are REALLY in desperate need of starting pitchers with Syndergaard struggling with the bone spur issue in his elbow. Cespedes also hurt his quad. Harvey out for the year with thoracic outlet syndrome surgery. Trade partner? Semien hit his 19th homer, homers in two consecutive games now. What kind of package for Quintana and Frazier?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 09:29 PM) Congrats Navarro on a truly terrible game Never did I think he'd be worse than Flowers.
