QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 12:04 PM) I just don't see it with Robin and some of the young players. I would've pulled Avi after that first awful AB and put in Sands. Maybe it doesn't work but it would've sent a message to Avi that his awful ABs and approach won't be tolerated. Avi should have been gone long ago, but to be fair if LaRoche hadn't retired I'm sure he would be getting limited playing time right now, they tried to replace him all winter, and all the current options to replace him are likely to be as bad as he is (though I do support putting Sands above him on the depth chart at least). What other young players weren't held accountable? As for Robin, meh, managers are just scapegoats. He's not been the problem.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 11:18 AM) It's just because Abreu needs a break from fielding for a day and Sands can play first. There's no accountability here so it's not disciplinary reasons I see this said a lot but where did this come from? Why is there no accountability here?

This thread blows. Pretty much everything about Frazier is the same as his career numbers from line drive rate to walk rate, except for a slightly higher K rate and a BABIP 100 points below his career average. He's a decent week away from his numbers being back to what we would expect.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 08:20 AM) Tyler Flowers, who is hitting .412, had 4 hits and 3 RBI's in an Atlanta victory yesterday Clearly that .700 BABIP is sustainable.

Nice win after the losing streak. Would be nice to score 5 runs more often.

Nice pitch for the K.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 09:50 PM) This is the second time the Sox have piled it on in the 9th in a Latos start. It's the 8th inning.

Holy s*** 5 runs in a game?

Is that the right call? I have no idea.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 16, 2016 -> 11:37 AM) RIP Danks. He'll get lit up tonight. Man, some of you act like Danks gets lit up every start.

So happy Danks didn't pitch tonight. Big win! 8-2!

Wow I'd hate to waste this performance. Let's get some damn runs.

Sale very efficient but still 8 Ks, that's awesome.

It's probably because he doesn't want to break the good thing Avila has going with Sale right now. I can understand the move at least.

QUOTE (kevo880 @ Apr 15, 2016 -> 08:01 PM) Had to stop streaming through my PS3. Kept cutting out then lost sound for some reason. What happened to this lady in the stands? Hit by a bat? Hit by a foul ball off the bat of Souza on a 97 mph fastball by Sale.

Souza with the hat trick against Sale tonight

Eaton playing a great RF so far aside from his arm, getting Jackson has potentially turned two OF spots into plus defenders.

Whew, thank you Eaton!

Melky scared me a little there.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 15, 2016 -> 07:27 PM) Offense is so sad right now Last couple innings have been bad but I don't have a problem with the first few innings, just some rotten luck that there's not 3-4 runs on the board right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 15, 2016 -> 07:24 PM) It's strange as he doesn't have near his best fastball. He's locating great though. His slider is as good as ever tonight though.

Sale should be able to go at least 8 tonight at this pace.

2 very quick outs.

Ouch

Offense is hitting bullets tonight.
