He's got to be able to make that play, although I agree it may not have been the best time to do it...

 

He's got a pretty good and accurate arm unlike when ever Big Frank threw I'd cringe.

5-4 throw it to 2B. 5-2, just get the out. Anything goes wrong there and the tying run is at the plate. Outs are what's important. Whether the run to cut the lead to 2 is at first or second doesn't matter.

Gotta axe Micah. He doesn't produce enough offense for me to give a s*** about his speed.

 

Sanchez is a .250 hitter with no speed and no ability to take pitches or bunt like Micah so let's make the struggling offense even worse that will solve a lot

Yep, 7 feet, compared to average of 5 feet 10 inches.

 

Is that recent info because I found an article that said the same thing and it was from 2011. Most pitcher should be around 80-100% of their height. Robertson is way beyond 100% and that does add "virtual" velocity to his pitch speed.

@CST_soxvan: Ventura said Samardzija had x-ray and is OK.

Nope it was from that source. Don't imagine it's changed that much though.

That's good news.

Wow, you said something even I can agree with.

 

Keep it up. Atta boy!

On the train back from the game. Had a great time at the park - hadn't been in a while. Miscues were keystone cops but it was nice to see Shark settle in and come alive.

Here's the thing. A decision needs to be made on Bonifacio. If he's unusable as a defensive replacement for Micah, than he really has very little utility outside of PR and occasional platoon. Find a way to move him, and call up Sanchez.

 

And LaRoche should be at 1B in the 9th, too.

You can't put LaRoche at 1B in the 9th, that takes away the DH.

If you're getting minimal production from 2B you want it to atleast be on the defensive end.

and that's OK

2 errors in 21 games makes him one of our better defensive infielders

and that's OK

 

And if we blow the save and go to extra innings?

Sanchez has 0 and is hitting a robust .414 in AAA.

 

Send Micah down.

Sanchez has 3 in AAA right now

The speed of the game is too fast for Johnson at this point.

I would agree.

 

Abreu made the play, but it was sure a stupid decision.

I would agree. Quite dumb.
