Spanky Eaton

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 19, 2016 -> 05:21 PM) He's 31. You should want nothing to do with him. I'd take a 31 year old Junior Guerra at this very moment over a 26 year old Erik Johnson or a 25 year old Anthony Ranuado. Age only means so much.

As much as I'd like to get another masher to complement Abreu and Fraz, I think getting a pitcher is a bigger need at the moment.

If I had control of the lineup, I'd say Eaton (CF) Sanchez (2B) Abreu (1B) Frazier (3B) Melky (LF) Avi (DH) Sands (RF) Avila © Saladino (SS) Just to switch things up a bit. Rollins and Lawrie definitely need a day off and Sale would have an improved infield defense behind him.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 18, 2016 -> 09:29 PM) The Reds may have the worst bullpen in the history of the world. Nah, that title goes to the 2007 Chicago White Sox.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 18, 2016 -> 09:36 PM) That line is losing steam. It's not wrong. They're struggling, no doubt, but at least they don't schrivel up and die like Sox teams in the past would have.

At least they don't go down without a fight.

The Sox are scoring at least two runs in this inning. Calling it now.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 18, 2016 -> 08:48 PM) Coop has really been terrible lately. Do your job He knows that he's too damn fat to get to the mound in the 30 second time limit, so he just doesn't bother anymore.

He's literally throwing batting practice. Jesus.

When is the Rollins as the #2 hitter experiment going to end? It clearly isn't working.

What happened to Navarro? It looked like he was running in slow motion LMAO.

Where is Chicago White Sox? We need him to start every game thread for the foreseeable future.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 18, 2016 -> 08:27 PM) Atleast Sale is going tomorrow. That's the thing though. Sale has a chance to win the Cy Young this year, but that doesn't mean that he's going to be perfect in every outing. It's not fair to put all the pressure on him and Q to carry the rest of the team. They're going to have clunkers occasionally as well. The best case scenario is that they win 2 out of 5 games for the Sox in a given rotation cycle. This team desperately needs a shake up before things spiral out of control. I dearly hope that the game in Texas didn't kill all the momentum the Sox had.

Lawrie is due for a dinger here.

I expected some regression to the mean after that ridiculous hot streak, but this is starting to become unwatchable. The team is just bad in every aspect right now.

QUOTE (Tony @ May 18, 2016 -> 08:09 PM) I've been curious about this for a while, what does hitting that button actually do? It makes us b**** about the Sox even more than normal haha.

Is it time to press the panic button?

Have the home plate umps been horrible lately or is it just me?

More s*** defense by Frazier. Unreal.

Literally nothing is going right. Ugh.

He's throwing pure BP. s***.

This is going to be a long night.

Dioner Navarro

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 18, 2016 -> 09:14 AM) No it's pretty much a bad thing 99% of the time. It's intentionally giving away outs. QUOTE (shysocks @ May 18, 2016 -> 09:15 AM) Very rarely is it a good idea. That's why I said in the right situations. I'm not a fan of bunting early in games or in low leverage situations, but if you're down by 1 with no outs in the bottom of the 9th with guys on 1st and 2nd, you bunt. To me, it really depends on the situation and the matchups.
