QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 10:38 AM) From reading around it seems like a great majority of Red Sox fans don't want a deal for Sale to get done. It's because deep down they know it will cost Moncada, Benintendi, Devers, & either Vazquez or Swihart.

Well... This isn't going to end well.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 09:40 PM) I am worried he may still be rusty. If it makes you feel any better, this game really means nothing... They are done. So even if he does blow it, not a huge thing.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 09:12 PM) Because do you have confidence in him tonight? Yes, I do. He's bad two really bad games. 1 save, 1 non-save. Outside of that, he's been very good in closing situations. ERA under 2.00. It was one bad game after not pitching in almost a week. It happens.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 19, 2016 -> 09:06 PM) Man you go to Jones tonight. Let Robo do the 8th. Why?

Alright. Let's get Robertson in for the 9th & close this thing out. Sale way too wild to send him out for the 9th, IMO.

I don't like him pitching Seager in so much. Feel like he's about to turn on one.

Sale has been hit hard on many occasions tonight but has the defense behind him to make the plays.

Frazier with some power there.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 04:11 PM) Morneau not in the line up. Morneau is 3-11 w/ an RBI lifetime against Hector vs Avi who is 0-5. Ventura simply sat him because he's left-handed, which is just irritating to me.

Will be at the game tonight & tomorrow. Hoping for a couple of W's.

So can someone explain this to me... Beck down for Fulmer, Coats down for Morneau. That would leave the roster at 25, right? Then if that is right, what about Turner supposedly starting Sunday?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) He also reported that the Sox and Cespedes finalized a contract in December No, he didn't. He said he "heard something was close". Since then, Dave has been on point & broke quite a few things.

Stanton going nuts.

This is pretty damn fun.

Frazier did a good job of conserving himself. Hoping that'll help this coming round. Duvall took them out with ease & time to go. Stanton is going to be hard to beat, period.

Not sure we are going to see anyone beat Stanton or Trumbo.

So, we've finally hit the All-star break. All in all, the Sox have pretty well kept up to what most projections had them at, right above .500. Just to recap: 2016: 45-43 (Tied for 3rd, .5 game back of 2nd, 7 games back of 52-36 Cleveland, 4.5 back in WC race w/ 2 teams in front) Sox finished 12-7 in their last 6 series including 5 of 6 series wins. 2015: 41-45 (Dead last, 1 back of 4th, 2 back of 3rd, 6.5 back of 2nd, 11 back 52-34 KC, 6.5 back in WC w/ 10 teams in front) So, overall when you really break it down, the Sox are in a much more manageable position this year with not quite as many holes. The biggest question is, which race is more obtainable? The division or wild card. Lastly, will the Sox make any moves before the deadline? I for one am not willing to accept Jackson & Morneau coming back as their "pickups". I think they could use another bat on top of that & at least one pen arm.

Frazier needs to cut this "fake bunt" bulls*** out. He needs all 3 strikes as is.

The Sox aren't going to win this one today.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 12:06 PM) Frustrating series for sure I just can't understand what is going on. The Braves are hitting HRs at the drop of a dime, yet even when the Sox hit something out, it barely goes. This is just one of those frustrating series. Not the way I wanted to see them end off going into the ASB.

White Sox have won 5 series in a row against Boston, Toronto, Minnesota, Houston & New York, yet they are becoming dangerously close to losing 2 of 3 from the Braves at home with their best two pitchers throwing, lol.

Sox may be hitting the ball better but the lack of any clutch hits is a bad sign.

Navarro is s***.

Big inning here. Hoping Quintana can have a scoreless inning. Then Jones & Robertson for the final 2.
