Jose would probably take a short term deal with a home town discount rate. 

Then end up like broken down Konerko during his last 2-3 years in our supposed contention window.

such a well coached team

Benetti says Sox base running less than "charming" this game, Stone dead pans "the whole season"

2/3 through game 2

 

not even anything close to a home run 

 

 

Don't look now but the lowly A's might sweep the Astros. The upcoming series might not be a walk in the park.

If he was 10 ft from 2nd he would've been doubled up on a catch with that ball so close to 1st base. I didn't see how far from 2nd base he was .Maybe in the last few seconds he saw it was going to drop  and got that close but it's still a short throw even with a bobble . He didnt know Blackmon was going keep fumbling it trying to pick the ball up too.

But yea don't like sticking up for him after that bonehead play at 3rd.

Where was he on the missed DP ball to Anderson?

Usually those runners score...

What team are you referring to?

I'll man up and admit that LuPuss Giolito impressed me with his bounce-back after that horrible 1st inning. He still needs to be better though.

Big of me to admit that.

If the ball was caught Leury would have been doubled-up trying to get back to first, least that's how I saw it. 

Rockies starter had a 5+ ERA coming into today, and the Sox decided to continue their slap hitting singles way at Coors

Twins down 10-4 to the Brewers in the 8th at least.

season long power outage continues.

Do they? SO a runner takes 2 bases on a clean throw to 1st? Unless the ball gets away or the 1st baseman turns his back to the play to argue with the ump. No not likely.

Have a mentos.

 

Of course when finally just 2 1/2 back on the Twins they are faltering again.

Maybe the road record magic and uniforms prevail in the end.

 

Does Foster not throw his change up a lot now?

Looks like he ditched it for the slider. 

Diaz and Daza are giving me De Aza flashbacks and it's terrifying.

Not only do we have many slow players, but also lack of hustle and bad base running, and bad coaching at both first and third as well as in the dugout.  Not championship quality.

Well if it was McEwing's call it's invariably the wrong one this year.

Not only does Hahn refuse to make a change at hitting coach, he’s also declared this shit-show of an offense that has one dude on pace for 20 HRs as a lesser need than the bullpen.  It’s fucking insanity that the entire organization is ok this horrible team-wide approach.

Diaz tried to hit that 5000 feet.

That's what I'm saying , he was only that close to 2nd base because he was 95% sure that ball was going to drop and was 10 ft from the base because he probably covered25-30 ft once he saw Blackmon wasnt going to catch it.

4 runs in 2 games, AT COORS....offensive powerhouse.
