There is nothing similar between the two, other than playing CF.

How so? Both are grinders with upside of about .250. Wouldn't you say?

MLB screwed us with this series. Have to play teams in Central too many times. We're catching the Royals in a stretch where they are on a roll. When they are clicking we have no chance vs. KC. Earlier in the season, Sox caught them at great times.

Duffy and Guthrie are too good for our lineup and KC is hitting now.

 

I'm sure this is exactly what the schedule makers were thinking when they made the schedule

This s*** sucks

Sox not giving weekend crowd anything to cheer about. Sox get to .500 and say the hell with it.

Is this code for smallish white player?

Defense in 2014 just killing this team

As far as batting average and on base, do you agree Eaton will bring Rowan-esque numbers? Or is his potential more like Damon? I like Eaton but he screams "intangible grinderman" to me with not a lot of concrete production.

Yep, our 25th man costing 2 runs.

Don't go there. I've been totally colorblind regarding people for a long long time. It doesn't register with me.

f***ing defense. Where was Alexei?

This is bulls*** my God.

Viciedo did not look graceful chasing that pop up.

Saturday streak alive and well??

You just beat me to it.

 

0-11. Good lord.

18,000 a game is going to go to 10,000 very quickly with this sad sack bunch of misfits.

Still a ton of changes to be made before this team can compete. That's fine.

I'm glad we played the Royals a batch of games earlier this year when they stunk. This is ugly. L. Garcia gonna pitch today at some point?

Aaron Rowand was a .273 career hitter, not a .250 hitter. And with us, he was closer to around .285. Rowand also hit 20+ HR in a year multiple times, and could crush the ball. Eaton will never do that, he is a slap hitter mostly. Rowand was a righty, Eaton a lefty. Eaton has tons of speed, Rowand had average speed.

 

There are far more differences with those two guys than similarities. Eaton would be closer to a Scott Podsednik with much better fielding and less base stealing ability.

 

We really don't have anyone from our recent past to compare Eaton to.

Luery is not a 3rd basemen

I wish we could score 4 runs

I've said it many times, if Robin can get this talent to play .500 ball all year he's manager of the year.

Lol, calm down, I'm not claiming racism. We all know people can't be racist against white people, silly. I meant it's pretty much the only similarity between those 2 players, yet they both get labled as "grinders" for whatever reason.

Can't wait for Rodon to eventually join this rotation. It's rough watching two number 5 starters in the current rotation.

Rotation turning to crap fast.
