QUOTE (chw42 @ May 10, 2016 -> 01:22 PM) Please tell me we play the Braves this year. July 8th-10th at home right before the All-Star Break. I hope they're still playing like hot garbage then.

QUOTE (shysocks @ May 10, 2016 -> 12:31 PM) Which is true today, but coming into the season very few people would have agreed. Let's see where we're at in July and if short is still our greatest need on offense or if Avi pulls the rug out again and leaves us wanting a DH. We can afford to be patient at SS - the only other contender who would be eager to upgrade there is Washington, if the current landscape holds. The Rays and Tigers have underwhelming guys in Miller and Iglesias, but they're also invested in those guys. Texas won't want to wave the white flag on Andrus yet. Washington will call up Trea Turner at some point, so they're not even really competition for SS upgrades.

QUOTE (oldsox @ May 10, 2016 -> 11:55 AM) His WHIP took a beating last two games. Yesterday, 2 runs. Previous outing, he gave up a hit and a walk in one scoreless inning. He looked shaky to me. So he's looked shaky for two whole days, big deal. That happens occasionally to literally every pitcher.

@obxleatherman Every team who has played at Turner Field this season has won at least two games there, except the Braves.

I really doubt the Yankees are going to be sellers.

QUOTE (Dunt @ May 10, 2016 -> 10:53 AM) I wonder if the Yankees would have any interest in getting Tanaka off the books if they do intend of having a fire sale? Nolasco's peripherals dont look too bad this season and I'm sure the Twins wouldnt mind having him off the books. Not sure I would want him for another season or two, but could be worse. Nolasco has always had OK peripherals, but the ERA never seems to match, there's always been a big gap. He's a consistent underperformer, and I don't think it's a fluke.

God damn, Curry.

Only 1 game off the 2005 pace right now.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 9, 2016 -> 07:28 PM) Strasburg signs a 7 year, $175 million extension with the Nationals. Apparently during the middle of a start! SP free agent class after this year was already really thin, now it's really horrible. The best SP available will be... Volquez? Cashner? Iwakuma? Hill? Yuck.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 9, 2016 -> 11:16 PM) And like 4 fWAR. It would be a very "three true outcome + defense" 4 WAR year. Joe Crede style really. I'm starting to sound like a broken record but Frazier is not a three true outcome guy, he doesn't strike out that much. He has a low average because he's hit so many pop ups, not because of strikeouts.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 9, 2016 -> 11:14 PM) Don't look now, but the Sox now have given up the least runs in the AL and scored the 3rd most. This is a good team folks. 91 runs in their last 16 games, 5.7 runs/game

Shoutout to Lawrie and Jennings for that game-saving double play ball. Huge play!

QUOTE (bmags @ May 9, 2016 -> 11:06 PM) Tough loss

6 game lead!

1 more

Wasn't going to get him anyway

Got him!

No walks with a 4-run lead, Putnam.

I love the bat flip

HUGE NIGHT for the Toddfather! Oh my god I'm so happy right now.

Let's have a call like this go our way. One time. C'mon.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 9, 2016 -> 10:41 PM) Okay so we basically have Putnam and then a whole lot of Carroll If only we still had LaRoche.

Alright alright, I'll take it. Don't have Odor leading off next inning.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 9, 2016 -> 10:36 PM) Mazara is like the Enola Gay, and the Sox pitchers are like Hiroshima... and Mazara is just up there circling. I'd replace Mazara with Odor. Mazara's done nothing tonight.
