Well yea I agree. As a 4th OF I'd take Danks just because he's going to cost about 1/4 of De Aza and he can play CF. But I'm not entirely convinced a better LF than De Aza is needed next year. Team has bigger holes IMO.

Agreed. Which is why I think that 4+ million can be better spread elsewhere.

The only consistent thing about JorDanks hitting is that he's not good. He has significant holes in his swing.

That's kind of what I meant by "more consistent hitter". Danks is fairly consistently below average while De Aza is either hitting .025 for the month or .375 for the month.

What the problem is?

 

 

Well he's only like one of the team's best hitters against RHP he should have PH for Kong, no question's asked, it's like 300 points of OPS in Dunn's favor.

If you want to play fun with selective endpoints look at Jordan's splits by month:

He vacillates between .98 and .289. It's a silly argument for any player let alone Jordan.

Putnam: 1.2 IP, 0 baserunners allowed. What a find he was.

Walkoff for Tyler ... or Dunn? Sox win?

How's his velocity? Is he a soft tossin' righty?

That's because Jordan has had very scattered MLB ABs over 3 seasons. De Aza gets far more playing time.

90/91, but with his performance this year, he can toss as softly as he wants.

Because he's better.

 

He's also hitting .325/.388/.447 since June 1st.

Has Tyler had a walkoff this year? He deserves a thrill if this is his last year as starter.

Damn. I think that was a cookie. Maybe not at 95.

And he swings at that pitch... the one that was the furthest out of the zone

Flowers geez

Sanchez with a lousy at bat. He's forgiven. Our hitters are looking lousy vs. this guy.

I like Sanchez in general, but I do feel like if Semien is given the chance to win the starting 2B role, he'll win it.

If Sox can't beat these guys at home to end the streak, I don't know what to say. If Bella comes in, look out.

Can Sox find a way to win a extra inning game?

I wonder if MLB.com would listen if I sent them an email asking them to switch their policy for commercials. How can this help the advertiser? I will not buy Phillips 66 just because of these incessant commercials. They are the same every half inning.

It is like torture, not water torture but ear torture.

This doesn't look good. Man on second nobody out. They've got a good manager. He'll figure a way to score.

Leadoff double

But, but, Francona.

LOL.

Worst bullpen in Sox history?

That had Tito written all over it. Nice HR by Francona, bad pitch by Robin.

what a f***ing joke
