It's amazing to me that people can see guys like Ramirez and Altuve and think PEDs still aren't rampant in the game.

Is that an accusation? Are you saying it is impossible for guys that short to be that powerful?

Absolutely. I'd bet my beach house on Altuve.

I'd love for Nicky to be good, I don't think he's more than a last man off the bench.

 

Whenever Eloy check some boxes would be nice.

At this point, I think Eloy stays down.

Me too. We're actually pretty close to the end of the minor league season. 

Need to find a way to get Lindor and Ramirez banned from baseball

Hahaha. Lindor's my favorite non Sox player. He can stay.

I can't like an Indian, Twin or Tiger. The Royals have been a relative non-factor during Sox contention years so I don't really hate them as much as the other three. 

Did anyone have Cano before this year? If he was using for all of these years I'm surprised it took him this long to get busted.

I know what you mean, but Lindor's everything I love to watch in a baseball player.

Users will always be ahead of the testers. Users get caught because they get lazy and make a mistake. 

Rodon for Cy Young!

I despise the Twins with every fiber of my being. There is nothing I enjoy more than seeing the Twins epically fail in what is supposed to be a contention year for them. 2001-06 did it for me.  The Indians aren't far behind in drawing my ire, due to employing noted assholes Albert Belle and Manny Ramirez during my formative baseball years. I puked when the Sox signed Belle, and rejoiced when he took himself and his degenerate hip to Baltimore.

Some of these at bats are inexplicable.

Dude, I will never forgive AJ for the things he did as a Twin. To this day, I can't stand the guy. I couldn't stand him with the Sox, but I still rooted like hell for him. 

Oliver Perez is still alive? haha

I can forgive him because he stole first base vs the Angels. 2005 forgives a lot of sins. I think of AJP more of a Sox Anti-Hero than a Twins Villain.

My god swing the freaking bat

That's not a strike. Come on.

It was easily a strike.  He needs to stop guessing with 2 strikes

Loved the play, still can't stand him. You don't throw elbows at Big Frank.

Didn't look like a strike to me. I don't think he's guessing. He's keeping his head on the ball. I think he legit doesn't think they're strikes. 

it's hard to believe how many strikes the Sox have taken and swings out of the zone they've had this week.
