Jake Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 If the BoSox really wanted to win, they'd have signed up Delmon Young for the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Damn, just looking at that lineup and imaging Cespedes in it for LaRoche is great... (if you don't know what I'm talking about then go to Trade Winds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knackattack Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hopefully Garcia being used in trade talks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if you don't know what I'm talking about then go to Trade Winds) Cespedes is a leftfielder. Canon of an arm but erratic outfielder. He has very limited DH appearances. So you probably would have to play him in left and move Melky to DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaDoc Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 If Avi swings at anything not facing a knuckleballer probably a good idea………..sorry LaRoche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 38s38 seconds ago Groundscrew is hustling to get the tarp on here at Fenway. Hasn't yet started raining but no BP for #WhiteSox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Gordon Edes @GordonEdes 6m6 minutes ago Tarp about to be rolled onto field, cutting short BP for the White Sox. As if they haven't had enough the first three games here--46 hits. If we lose tonight, I'm blaming the shortened batting practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Here is a detailed forecast for fantasy purposes, which makes it seem like the game probably gets in after a long delay, but no guarantees. https://rotogrinders.com/threads/thursday-w...ortheast-764676 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However with the Sox now in Wild Card contention I'm sure they'll do all they can to get this in as they don't want to try and jam an extra game in if Sox stay in the hunt.

caulfield12 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 The worst thing that could happen would be starting Sale and then having a two-hour delay and him losing the start completely...so that's the only thing we can really root against happening. Having to come back to Boston for yet another off-day or one day trip would suck with our schedule already being pretty full for the final two months. Is there an open day around a series in NY?

chitownsportsfan Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Another milestone! (lol) Carlos Sanchez has been worth roughly .8 fWAR over the last 4 weeks and is back up to replacement level on the year! Seriously though, Sanchez and the Melkman have been critical in this run, hopefully they can keep it up as both are assets not just this year but hopefully the next couple.

Listening to the Blue Jays game, it's crazy to think with Tulo, Donaldson and Price, they have probably now have 3 of the top 10-15 players in the majors (Tulo not quite as good as early 2014) and that's not even including Joey Bats and Edwin Encarnacion. And, it being baseball, nothing is ever guaranteed. In fact, the baseball fates might conspire against AA and Jordan4Life just like they did with Beane last season.

Hopefully the Yankees and Jays both beat up on each other or the Yankees just obliterate the east. Whatever happens at least we are in a position to scoreboard watch for a bit. If you think about it the Jays, with all that talent, are 1.5 games ahead of the Sox in a weaker division. If they are going all in, shouldn't the Sox at least consider adding a solid piece? The Jays have position player mashers, but the Sox have (suddenly) defense and elite (whole season really) pitching. As much as we b**** about Danks, most teams would be absolutely over the moon to have a rotation of a half seasoned Rodon as the 4 with Sale, Shark, Q out front and Danks as the 5th wheel. Yea they have some weaknesses in the pen in the 6th and 7th but if the offense keep up that will be minimized, which is what Hawk never seems to realize. Hahn and KW both know a bat is going to be worth more than another middle reliever and an elite reliever isn't worth the assets it would take.
