Sheets is built like Adam Dunn

Good for Gavin!

Love that shit Gavin, get a hanger and do something with it

Yeah buddy! And that was a nice hit too! Took it the other way!

Sheets actually has a solid looking swing. Maybe we can finally have one of those out-of-no where prospects pan out. 

Sheets hitting to the opposite field. Sox hitting coach will cure him of that quickly. Soon he'll learn to pull weak grounders to 2nd like he's supposed to.

Congrats GS

Wowow I guess you don’t have to try to pull everything to get a hit? Who knew

Way to go, Gavin Sheets. Actually goes with the pitch and hits a single. Oh how I wish there was more of that in baseball, a simple single. Nice job, Gavin. Love the way he kept his eye on the ball and stroked it.

Good comp. Man he just looks like a dude that is going to be successful up in the bigs.

I like Sheets. Could be 1B replacement for Abreu. 

Vaughn/Eloy LF, Eloy/Abreu DH, Sheets/Abreu 1B.  

Sounds like weather might be closing in on the park.

 

Maybe we have 9 relievers in case there's a delay

hate to say it but i bunt here.. mendick hasnt been a threat for weeks.

Lyle Overbay was my physical comp

He was our 2nd round pick a few years back, so not quite out of nowhere — that'd be the Mendicks, Engels, and Fosters of the world.

Bunt?

I'd hate to see Gavin's hit get erased. No rain please.

No bunt?

You realize pretty much everyone in the lineup is doing the same damn thing? 

Come on man…he’s got a sub .700 OPS. He’s a rookie that needs to work on his approach and regain confidence. He’s not the 1st, nor the last, and it’s not the end of the world. But it’s obvious he can’t be an effective major league hitter right now, it’s in everyone’s best interest he takes some time in AAA.

No bunts.

Gotta take that pitch the other way 

Inexcusable at bat. Move the runners. Don't hit a weak pop fly.

Well we aren't bunting anymore even with guys that have no chance.

One thing that couldn’t happen...no advance of the baserunners.

like i said mendick is no threat.. should have bunted.

 

dude needs to get sent down.
