QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 07:38 PM) This is unreal. On what planet did the front office think Shields would pitch well here Same front office that fans want to lead a rebuild.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 07:21 PM) I am sure he will opt out Let's just hope he has a miserable time here the next couple of months and he decided he would rather leave than stick around for 2 years and get paid.

Hopefully he's hurt or something

QUOTE (TomPickle @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 07:12 PM) Welp, I think that's enough for me tonight. I said the same and changes the channel lol

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 06:59 PM) Coats is in there. They are facing a lefty. I don't see how he can be criticized for trying something a little different. I know he's in. I was just taking a stab at a lineup with the current roster (Shuck against a righty, Coats against a lefty). Didn't know the guy on the mound is a lefty though. Thanks.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 06:44 PM) What should the line up be tonight? Man I don't even know haha but if I had to take a stab: Eaton CF Anderson SS (because f*** it) Abreu 1B Frazier 3B Cabrera LF Lawrie 2B Navarro C Garcia DH (if you're going to put him in, DH him) Coats RF(/Shuck against a righty) Glad I'm the one who isn't in charge of writing the lineup. Edit: or 3-5 of Melky Abreu Frazier. Get a good contact hitting up in 3 spot, break up the righties a bit, and the all or nothing guy at the end of the middle of the lineup.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 05:26 PM) He's had 700+ ML at bats, with an ops below .630. Have you seen JB Shucks OPS this season?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 05:08 PM) This is why you don't hire former players. First Ozzie canned and hated forever; now Robin. I do agree Robin must go, but it also is sad. Gotta be able to separate the 2 I suppose: Robin Ventura the former Sox 3B great and Robin Ventura the manager.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 04:40 PM) This guy is 26 years old and a 29th round pick? Doesn't sound too promising to me. Hope he gets a hit soon, albeit he's only zip for 7. You do realize he's still in the lineup right? He was referring to playing the outfield.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 10:00 AM) Except for Thompson, Semien and Anderson. What pitching have we "developed" recently? Rodon had a grand total of 10 minor league starts, that was it. Nate Jones, I guess. But that dates back to 2012, along with Q/Santiago/Santos/Reed. Petricka, if you really want to push the definition. Pssst...players continue to develop in the majors.

32 and a 3B. Don't really see a fit here to be honest.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 11:23 AM) Interesting to see Shilds tonight. Hope he brings his A game A-game or a game on the bench for when he's taken out early?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 11:10 AM) No. They won't win with that. Most likely not, but just tossing out an idea til Jackson comes back or they trade for someone better. Not really big on the current situation. Edit: I'd take either on the bench over Shuck at the very least.

Lourdes Gurriel should be available in this class I believe. He's 22 so an older but more likely to help you sooner prospect. Might as well try to snag him and any other top International talent and go over the limit.

If Anderson hits and can be moved up to the 2-spot, would anyone be opposed to Bourgeois or Leury Garcia patrolling center and hitting 9th? Don't really know how they're doing defensively, but it could add another solid defender in center pushing Eaton back to right with more speed and flexibility on the roster.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 08:23 AM) Until yesterday, Lawrie had been hitting the ball pretty hard lately. I've noticed that as well.

QUOTE (SpankyEaton @ Jun 12, 2016 -> 09:49 PM) I've noticed that Lawrie is always in an 0-2 count...pitchers must know to get ahead of him and he'll be an automatic out. I miss the Lawrie that used to have good at bats and take walks.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 11:04 AM) Tim Anderson doesn't wear 44 dude. Yeah we were talking about prematurely buying rookie jerseys.

Anyone else really shocked at how far back the right fielder was playing for Avi?

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 02:27 PM) It's a shame that bunt cost them all 3 outs in the inning. Meh would have rather had one of our better hitters swing. 20 at bats isn't much of a sample size.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 01:46 PM) Did the inning end when Melky bunted? I could have sworn there was only one out with their cleanup hitter coming up. Nope but it's a waste of an out regardless. Especially when he's been swinging the bat well.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 01:46 PM) Rightfully so, hawk gets calls wrong more than Jason The best is when he can't tell if it's a homer or not and does his call late. Or starts yelling stretch when it falls way short of the warning track. Or starts hoping a ball is going to get foul when it's like 15 rows deep.

Avisailol Garcia.

Melky's decision or not, I wish he didn't bunt. Never agree with doing so with no one out, guy in scoring position. Especially when guy on second can score on a single.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 11:00 AM) Piss off, I have an authentic, signed, 44 Anderson jersey. You win.
