Vance Law Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 QUOTE (Vance Law @ Aug 4, 2014 -> 10:45 PM) Flowers has to be setting some records for streakiness this season. Some cherry-picking. First 26 games .357 BA Next 52 games .152 Last 15 games .458 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 4, 2014 -> 09:49 PM) But doesn't this streak look a bit different than the early season one ? A lot more xtra base hits in this one. QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 4, 2014 -> 09:50 PM) The difference is he's actually been much more than just a singles hitter. Dude had 10 XBHs before he put on the glasses...He's since had 11 in 18 games. He's really a different hitter right now. Very true.. There is some hope for optimism, I just don't want the front office to bank of this last few weeks and not try and get a better catcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, they get someone better (have no idea how or who) and Nietto shows enough to stick as the backup and they dangle Flowers for SP help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea he's been good as a guy off the scrap heap he's pitched some solid innings for the Sox. I see no reason to think he's not the 5th starter headed into next season. If they can somehow trade Danks they will have $$$$ to get creative with it as Noesi, Sale and Q are cheap and fill the 1,2,5 spots perfectly.

We can purchase half a dozen of these magical glasses and hand it out in the club house. Beckham gets a pair, Dunn's overdue for one, why not for ADA, Tank definitely needs a pair. And they ought to be upgrades over Belisario's hideous glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Just took a look at Flowers triple on Gameday and I think they missed it. I swear if you watch it very carefully in slo mo after it hit the top of the fence it hit the bottom rung of the metal railing. Doesn't that make it a HR since without the railing it goes over the yellow line ? http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?g...ay&c_id=mlb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 QUOTE (Vance Law @ Aug 4, 2014 -> 10:10 PM) It was apparently 7/9 He's hitting .390 with 11 xbh and 23.4% strikeout rate with glasses That K rate is a pretty nice improvement for him. If he can maintain that rate along with the increase in power the rest of the way, maybe we can revisit the possibility of him being our starting catcher in 2015. Until then, we should consider nothing more than backup material going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think flowers would approve of this @DanHayesCSN: Last week in Detroit, Flowers asked why so many people have asked about glasses and when I started to recite numbers asked me to stop.
