Strange that Richards is still in.

Weird to see so many 2 strike counts but so few strikeouts for Sale.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 03:06 PM) just another bat, the Sox are doing the whole "one half of the team is killing the other's halves rallys" thing again. Yeah I don't care what hand the batter uses, I just want someone who can hit.

Big inning here with the middle of the order coming up and 3rd time through the order.

3 walks for Lawrie! Did he more than double his season total today?

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 02:56 PM) I've been hard on Frazier, but I gotta give him credit. That was wily. Yeah that was great baserunning.

Great AB by Frazier

Another efficient inning. Go 8 and then let Robertson finish it.

Extra base hit! We need more of those.

Beautifully located slider.

The throw beat him by a mile but that was a very lazy tag by Simmons. He was safe.

Looked like Lawrie beat the tag, why not challenge that?

That was a fantastic throw by Avila! Trout got a great jump.

Does getting to first on a dropped third strike raise your OBP?

At the very least, he's an excellent utility player. Those guys are valuable.

Saladino with the classic batting average better than OBP stat line.

Let's get some runs so Sale doesn't have to pitch a shutout again.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 01:45 PM) Yeah, Garcia has 75 to 80 speed. Sanchez is above average, but no where near that. Probably 60 to 65. Fangraphs has Sanchez at 50 speed.

Nice swing by Sands to not get jammed on that pitch.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 01:35 PM) This is definitively false. Garcia has elite speed. Sanchez has played in a 148 games in the MLB. That's basically a typical full season sample. He has 3 SBs and 3 CSs in his career in the bigs. Garcia, who doesn't even fulfill all of his base stealing potential, has stolen 191 bags in minors and is 19/22 as a big leaguer. Yeah Sanchez is nowhere near as fast as Garcia.

Nice quick inning.

Nice by Sands too on the stretch there.

Great play by Frazier!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 01:24 PM) I'm not watching, are you saying Eaton was safe? On the foul ball before the out, Eaton hit a bouncing grounder down the left field line, it landed in foul territory but looked like it may have gone over the bag before going into foul territory. I couldn't tell, it was pretty close, but the ump wasn't even looking. Took away a potential double.

Damn Saladino crushed that!
