Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 46s46 seconds ago Jerry Blevins ran all way in from 'pen to replace Hansel Robles only to find out Logan Verrett was supposed to come in. Blevins ran back. Jason Benetti ‏@jasonbenetti 18s18 seconds ago Strong work in the 12th by Jerry Blevins.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 04:07 PM) Not sure if Ventura is mindful enough right now to think of using him I mean, there are certainly some good reasons not pinch hit with a starting pitcher.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 04:03 PM) Who bats for the pitcher? Gotta let him hit, can't use Navarro. Maybe Rodon or Latos can swing the bat better than Robertson?

Shoulda bunted.

Neil Walker takes his second walk. He was born for it.

Think Robin just did it for the double switch. Problem is he only moved the pitcher 1 spot back in the order, which isn't... really.... the point.

We have seen him make adjustments and succeed after slumps before. He looks the worst he's every looked and even with a hot finish will probably end the year with the worst numbers of his career, which will make ron happy, but I'm not shoveling dirt on him.

If I were a Mets fan this game would be giving me an aneurysm.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 02:34 PM) Strategy/playing the percentages with two lefties coming up. I blame Ventura for it succedding Look, I'm not some "eff Robin everything he does is wrong!" meathead. I am glad Duke threw a great inning but if this game comes down to the end of the bullpen in the 11th inning, we'll be able to identify why.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 02:25 PM) Off day tomorrow Sure, that helps, but Putnam specifically is one of our more dependable guys lately and we're wasting him if he's facing one guy.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 02:23 PM) Burning through relievers in a tie game... Was just about to say. Putnam should not be facing one hitter right now.

Did the Sox just win a replay???

Just for reference, the MLB totals from last year on the 4th pitch of plate appearances that began with 3-0 counts and were NOT intentional walks. 2596 PA 2297 BB (88.5%) 109 H (.378 AVG) 25 HR (8.6% of swings) 216 TB (.750 SLG) 8 HBP (ouch) 8 GIDP (should result in permanent ban from baseball) So compare the .888 OBP to the .750 slugging - you can't really go wrong.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 12:51 PM) How can anyone root for a guy that plays like this? The one with Paul George (1:45) is so awful. Yeah, he makes amazing plays. He's an amazing player. But he's a guy that is SO good and SO athletically gifted he doesn't need to resort to this crap. This is reason #1 why I don't like him and don't root for him. The Decision, going to Miami, his dominance of the Bulls, etc. are far down the list. Worse than 2:53? Haha, thankfully the Nazr shove made it in there.

Good research. The '05 Sox had some rough spots too. We're about where a lot of us thought we'd be at this point of the season, although the path getting there was frustrating, to put it kindly.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 11:52 AM) It's very good. Reinhardt 4 lyfe. I think I've logged the most time as Pharah. You can get so many easy knockoff kills with her on the right maps. Also lots of fun: Tracer, Roadhog, Symmetra, Mercy. I suck with: Genji, Winston, Mei The rest I haven't really tried out enough. I need to play all of them. Gah it's so good!

It hasn't changed since the "beta" but Overwatch is still real good.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 10:56 AM) What if they also give up Jon Jay? He isnt great but he would be a left handed bat that we could use. Plus I think we would all rather have Shields instead of Latos? Absolutely not when you factor in cost. I haven't read this whole thread and I'm sure there are plenty of creative proposals in here about getting San Diego to kick in half the money. I just don't want to go anywhere near Shields. I think he is bad and he is going to get worse.

Wish I had been around to get this on record a week ago before he got shelled, but I wouldn't be in favor of a Shields acquisition under almost any circumstances. He is not good anymore.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 20, 2016 -> 04:27 PM) http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0519-story.html Dammit, you made me click on that fluffy crap.

This thread has jumped the shark a bit, no?

I'm going to Saturday's game with some Royals fans and I don't think I'm gonna be able to behave rationally.

But why am I trying. You're you, so whatever.

You can't ask people to defend Hillary all the time and then dismiss it out of hand when they do.
