If it's so easy for Stone to steal signs, what stops MLB team from doing it? Put a headphone in the batting helmets and go. I assume this is very against the rules

James McCann is so good.

Have to give credit to Hahn for that one, that's been his best FA signing/acquisition  (veteran) since he's takin the job.

Good news: McCann has a cannon

Better news: Alonso is about to hit yahooooo

Jesus guys, Abreu blistered the ball and Odor turned it into web gem. Let’s not be overly results-oriented. 

That ball was not blistered. looked like a jam shot.

You do know that a broadcast is delayed by several seconds?

I think you missed my point. BABIP is a stat that accounts for the variance of results. This was kind of a freak double play that was amazing defensive performance than it was a referendum on Abreu’s playing ability. 

for all of you citing exit velocity, what was the exit velocity of yoan’s single, and if Jose’s ball is three inches more away from Odor I wonder if we are having this exchange about being “disgusted” by Abreu.

You said Abreu blistered it. Abreu's was not hit hard. Next

Atta boy Eloy!

Alonso just saved his job.

That McCann throw was so amazing because Nova is really slow to the plate, even getting Yadier Molina there would have been impressive.

God this guy sucks. If only we didn’t dig ourselves a 5-0 hole.

I'm so rooting for him to never get a hit again.  I feels like a dumb single like that will persuade Hahn's dumbass to still keep him around. 

Its TA's birthday today.

Have a day TA

He was hosed if they went home

Moncada, Eloy and Timmy with hits this inning. I'm satisfied.

No thought of development?  Are you serious?

Why wouldn’t they have just brought up Seby Zavala again then?

Zavala is a potential MLB catcher and was up he struck out like 5 of his six/seven at bats. Now they called up Collins for sculpture of coffee. When they are ready then  it’s not a new experience. Development is a process. Usually that process if working on your game is at the MILB level. If Collins I was being brought up to be our catcher Mccann would be out of playing time

Fine. It looked like it was hit hard to me based on the play that occurred.

I think Alonso goes soon and Jay takes his roster spot

Oh, it’s cuz Zavala was bad?  I call BS.

If it’s all about trying to win games, the Sox wouldn’t be pitching Despaigne and Nova.

If it’s all about development, there is no better time than now when winning games doesn’t matter much.

For about a week, iolmer showed lots of patience at the plate. Now hes gone back to being a helicopter 

Ryan Cordell starting to make me wonder whether It Engel should be back..... yikes!!

Why does anyone throw anything other than curveballs at Leary’s ankles

Wtf. Just wtf.

Yolmer and Cordell just kill any hopes at a rally..
