caulfield12 Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 (edited) Byron Buxton has a .289 batting average with 88 hits, 22 home runs, 51 RBIs and 65 runs scored in 90 games versus the White Sox in his career. Make that 23. And Booser was the bright spot in the pen. Edited April 24 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 There goes my dream of turning Booser into a failed Dodger prospect who is out of options. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 12 minutes ago, fathom said: He’s done with the Sox after this year. They won’t pick up his option and he will go sign elsewhere for like ten million. He’s just another bust that lost all ability during what should be his peak. I can’t believe they haven’t changed his swing mechanics. Don’t worry, it’s only 24 games. Pretty soon it will be - don’t worry, it’s only 50 games, 80 games, etc.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 12 minutes ago, Bob Sacamano said: Counterpoint: let the better bat play and after 2-3 at bats, bring in the glove. Works better since they’re the road team as well. Better defense for the top of the order, more times, and a better hitter against the bullpen, probably worse pitchers than the starter.

Tomtom Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Twins will be 4-1 vs the Sox after tonight, and 4-14 VS everyone else. If they can’t beat this team, there is no hope. 35 wins at best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's trying to make up for his incompetence as a minor league exec, Might want to try harder with that Birmingham offense. I literally skip right to the bottom of the box score to look at the pitching. I was thinking yesterday that I’ve never seen a relatively high first round pick become as irrelevant as Gonzalez has so quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
