That was disappointing. I'm not liking our chances if it comes down to a battle of bullpens. We need to hold them this half and get to Duffy next inning, which will be his last almost definitely.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 07:56 PM) Abreu did not look good in that AB. Looked to me as though he was looking off speed.

That must have felt extra satisfying.

Maybe the strategy is to try and get our guys beaned so we can actually get some baserunners.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 06:25 PM) That wasn't on purpose. If it was, he wouldn't have hit him with a breaking ball. It was clocked at 93.

At home. Belatedly on MLB.TV.....with one hand down my pants and another holding a beer, Al Bundy style.

Anybody else notice Coleman coaching first and Boston is n the bench? Is this going to be the new thing?

Tell me someone else heard Melton call an eephus pitch an "oofus" ...... Which sounds appropriately similar to doofus. That man is a national treasure.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 11, 2015 -> 03:25 PM) Rodon really 6'3" or is that being generous? Kiley (I think it was) over at FanGraphs said he was definitely closer to 6' even than 6'3"

I would have thought Raul Fernandez would be the obvious choice.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jan 4, 2015 -> 08:18 AM) welcome to the board. i know you mention trading Sale for this joke of hearing Melton saying his name, but really Sale??? I know, unrealistic. Throw in Abreu. Jokes aside I don't think depth at SS is a pressing issue. He's an interesting name based on how much the Dodgers invested in him (and the aforementioned Melton pronunciation) but I think there are more immediate needs than what he can potentially provide.

I would trade Sale for him simply to hear Melton pronounce his name during ST.
