He was actually saying about how he cant believe the size of the crowds for the first 2 games of this series with Baltimore only 3 games behing NY and with the way they are playing. We are in first place, have been for awhile. The teams plays hard and can't sell out Sox park. They shouldnt even talk about crowd size.

 

Point is, very few teams are going to draw big crowds when they have been as infrequently to the postseason as the Orioles have, Sox too for that matter.

Apples and oranges. With dynamic pricing in the Sox ticket market, they're maximizing revenue but not crowd sizes. Sox overall attendance really isn't important, it's simply total revenue derived from those who do attend.

 

They would rather maximize the experience of those "high net worth" and corporate clients rather than cater to the needs of "middle class" fans. They do have discount and half price nights, Family Days, etc., but the overall feeling for the Sox fans of the Veeck Era is that you're not quite as welcome as you once were.

 

It is what it is....without keeping that 20% of the fanbase that attend 80% of the games happy, you wouldn't have the payroll numbers we've posted since 2006.

Viciedo has adjusted well on every level. For now, his production is adequate. Give him time and he'll be a beast. I'm setting a PayPal account for bets as we type.

Incredible.

 

A Sox catcher who hardly has played for 60-70% of the season gets a SAC bunt down.

 

Tyler Flowers has opened some eyes recently...and got some new believers in his camp.

 

Pretty amazing with AJP's overall season numbers that many are clamoring for Tyler to play more often. Good situation to have, though.

 

 

Beckham! 3-3

Beckham havin himself a game

This game is perfect evidence why baseball betting is crazy.

 

Any logical person would have picked the Orioles with Sox on the road, after Monday's disappointing loss, the 2 hit last night...Detroit bearing down, Axelrod on the mound. The key apparently is LEW FORD NOT being in the line-up for Balt.

 

That's 50 RBI's for Beckham now.

 

Everyone in our regular/everyday line-up now at 50 or higher.

 

Viciedo when he hits his next homer will give you 5 guys with 20 homers (Dunn, AJP, Konerko, Rios). Youk would be 6.

Not me. I picked the Sox. But then again, Im not logical

Bitton was lights out last time out IIRC, hopefully we can split it tomorrow!

Just an unbelievable start by Axelrod given the circumstances.

Awesome start by Dylan. He has made some huge, huge starts for us this year.

With the 3 at Detroit this weekend, it was an unbelievably huge performance.

DA has really stepped up tonight

Robert Zimmerman... Nice

Start tonight

May be the most important start of the year so far and the kid manned up and showed zero fear.

Britton?

White Sox Farm System Rules!!!

1-0 KC

lol I feel like I'm seeing the same replay over and over with Flowers, then a strike 3 called. But still a great AB.

Wow

The delivery of Stone's "Pretty scary." was f***ing amazing.

Excellent job Ax
