Highest dollar figure of a contract ever given to Latin American player under age 20.

The guys the Cubs signed weren't under 20?

Not a strike to DeAza. Oh well.....4-0.

Why are Hawk and Stone talking about Beckham like he's some kind of success story?

Who knows.

 

Meanwhile, despite all the negativity in this thread, its FOUR NOTHING sox.

Beckham might be the new Uribe. Low average, nice number of hrs and ribs

From the bat last position. And great D.

I'd take it, but he's not nearly as good of a defender and doesn't produce in pressure situations. Uribe really came through in high leverage AB's.

At the time, in 2008, it set a record.

 

Since wiped out by Soler.

I think Beckham is doing ok.

 

by that I mean he isn't swinging at balls thrown at his head

Who knows.

I'm convinced if Viciedo, Ramirez or Liriano do anything positive and the Sox win, some fans will be upset it will go against their selective bias against those players.

Every hitter in the majors is taught to hunt for a fastball with a 2-0 count and to try to drive it.

 

He hit it hard, just at the SS. By your line of thinking, then everyone in our line-up should be benched, because all of them have hit into DP's, K'ed or popped up with RISP recently.

 

I still haven't figured out why the Tigers continue to play Cabrera with his league leading DPs.

Great game. We are averaging

A run an inning

And the minnies are averaging 00 runs per inning

Are you complaining about negativity? I was fairly sure you were one of the posters around here that is chronically pessimistic.

Greinke >>> Liriano

 

Etc.

He hates Viciedo and Ramirez.

 

Loves Beckham and Konerko.

 

HMMMMMM.....

 

and Jaun Pierre

 

Marty's next target: Donnie Veal, Liriano or Septimo?

 

Did he hate EJax? I don't remember...

and Jaun Pierre

 

 

Not to be confused with Jhan Pierre, lol.

 

What are the split for Juan now? Still competing for the Triple Crown in the NL?

I dont agree with that assessment.

Liriano only has 60 pitches through 4. Working fast does a lot for pitchers with control issues.

Francisco has got his mojo workin'!

You are such a coward. Go on record.

He complained about the trade a lot.

 

Unfortunately, now, Stewart/Lilly= YOUK

 

Harder to argue with that if the Sox make the playoffs.

4/9th of a no-hitter from King Lear-iano

Liriano only has 60 pitches through 4. Working fast does a lot for pitchers with control issues.

When he keeps his pitches down he's an ace.

The White Sox are disappointing us by being up 4-0. We can hope the Twins put up a 5 spot so it can be business as usual.

 

I like this Twins team. The team that doesn't have Denard Span or Mauer in the lineup. Yes please...
