Nothin you can do about that bs K

lol the As crew loves the Sox. They are slobbing their knob and the centrals.

Lol, no one would do anything against that.

2 very very questionable strike calls on Sanchez. No wonder he doesnt take any walks.

That strike three was clearly a ball.

what planet is that a strike on to a guy that is 5-7?

Hit the 90 MPH fastball that he swung and miss.

Looking at strike 3 figures. Looked high though

Coop dam near in a parka.

 

Cold front in cali and PNW this week. Lotta rain down from alaska. The bay area hardly has better weather than seattle overall, there summers and springs can suck.

Angel Hernandez is terrible.

 

It was a challenge trade. I'm fine with that. I mean, look at the trade the As made to GET him. Now that is an awful f***ing trade. Sure the timing affected the return but still -- Semien is no Russell.

What does that even mean? It was a bad trade. Semien would have been more valuable to this year's Sox, never mind for the next 5 years.

Rodon throws it pitch will called a ball.

There's going to be a billion scouts at the Samardzija/Kazmir game on Sunday

A.Hernandez will always be an inconsistent ump.

At least he threw a lot of pitches again.

Dealt from a position of strength to try and fill a weakness. I don't think anyone thinks Semiens power is sustainable.

that's hindsight. ZIPS had around 3.0 for shark and 2.0 for Marcus. On paper, with lack of rotation options and more middlie infielders than starters, they made a move to try and get an extra win this year while still looking long term to sign shark.

 

If it doesn't work out with Shark they get the comp pick, which I believe is pegged at around a value of 5-7 million. If you want to talk BABIP and Semien go ahead. His batting line is hugely inflated by it. Take 50 points off his line and he's down to a .303 OBP. We'll see if the power sticks. Marcus is a nice player, but he's hardly some surefire star.

 

a challenge trade is a fairly common term for this type of deal -- where guys that are talented but for whatever reason aren't in favor in the org (money, performance, etc) are traided as the main pieces in a deal.

Sox hopefully will deal from strength again because Johnson/Sanchez cannot play on this team at the same time.

It's a position of strength in terms of quantity, not quality. Why wouldn't it be sustainable? His .ISO at AAA last year was .234. It's currently .213.

I'll be surprised if Carlos doesn't stay up the rest of the year. I don't think they deal either, though.

Alexei has lost a few steps

Alexei needs to get to that ball. He is really getting slow out there

la roche makes that play. wtf.

Alexi range has become almost nill this year.

Come on Carlos. Get this out no runs here buddy
