Anything from Hawk about Wegner's handling of Sale's beanball against Valencia? He didn't react like this at least. I am stuck with the Royals broadcast.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 20, 2014 -> 04:12 PM) Is that all you got? That's all you can chime in with? Really? I'm not saying Ventura is perfect but sheesh give it a rest all ready. Would you be happy if it would have Ozzie? Or maybe LA Russa. The manager uses what he's got, I don't see Ventura pitching or hitting, so relax once in a while. So...you disagree? I'm all ready for people to stop defending RV for doing dumb s*** already. All right? Alright.

Does anyone know what the first rule of baseball is?

Holy s***. Flowers! ...... Trade him at his peak??

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 19, 2014 -> 07:19 PM) Hawk Harrelson: "That serves a double-edged purpose there." Lol I think he's just getting old. All the repetition (the "WELL" and "Meanwhile"), the enormous ego, etc. But it's getting hard to listen to. That said, it's a difficult job and I would be terrible at it.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 19, 2014 -> 07:31 PM) This crew is bad. It wasn't even gonna be close BEFORE the guy fielded the ball.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 19, 2014 -> 06:50 PM) I heard they just cancelled the post-game show. The advertisers will not be happy. Don't worry, we got a man there.

Is anyone keeping track of the number of times Hawk has said he wants to know who told him that Abreu is not a good first baseman? He's now offering money.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 19, 2014 -> 01:05 AM) Fun game I was there. Was the upside down K for Eaton legit because he seemed pretty pissed. Not legit. Strike 2 was about 6 inches above the zone. Ridiculous call.

Way to hustle for that $15 million they're paying ya this year, Dunn.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 09:37 PM) Sounded like he got it off of the end of the bat. To me it sounded....KILT. And looked gone. Couldn't believe that wasn't a homer.

TFlo reveling in the fact he hit a baseball off the barrel of the bat. Lol

Another hang-whiff-em for Beckham. Tell em, Hawk.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 08:14 PM) The countdown is on until he's no longer with the Sox. The countdown started a month ago. Sox brass is slooooow.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 09:21 PM) Damn no ones posted in the game thread for 20 minutes. 2 out in the 9th. Hawk and Stone fawning over this pitcher for striking out Leury on 3 fastballs right down the middle. And Hawk rips Alexei again for the missed tag.

Think Hawk rips Beckham like he did Alexei there for missing that tag?

Haven't read the thread, just responding to the title... Shortly after they figure out their starting Catcher is, well, not a starting catcher. Based on what's already transpired, that might take a while.

At +410, it's pretty juicy, just couldn't pull the trigger.

QUOTE (1dog @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 08:07 PM) McEwing costs us a run. It won't come back to bite us though.... Ok, so I was wrong. Shocker.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 08:48 PM) Kinda like when he was cruising against the Angels and then Robin decided to leave him in with ~105 pitches and we destroyed him Not even close to the same situation.

Love this f***ing bullpen.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 08:06 PM) Not sure ADA wouldn't have been called out for skipping 2nd base. Good point. Would have loved to have seen the ruling/review on that. After touching the bag, he did step back to first.

McEwing costs us a run. It won't come back to bite us though....

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 09:23 PM) 9 for his last 102 with 49 strikeouts. I don't remember a position player with a streak so bad. The TFE (Tyler Flowers Era/Experiment) must end. It was obvious to me a month ago, but at this point it must be painfully obvious to anyone who can see and/or has access to statistics that this man has no business being in a major league uniform. I'm sure he's a great guy and he looks like he works hard, but an MLB player he is not. He will find another line of work. It'll be ok. Actually, maybe he could take over as manager! It's possible he could be less inept than the dumb s*** that keeps trotting him out there.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 07:15 PM) Gillaspie bats lower because he has struggled lately and you want someone to bat in the middle of all those turds in the bottom of the order. It also doesn't hurt to ensure Abreu bats in the first inning Because the strong arm of Beckham MUST bat second. LOL
