Avisuck hit a homer in a meaningless game so all of his failures have been forgotten and he will start in RF every game for the rest of the season

 

 

Let us refrain from calling Avisail Garcia AVISUCK. OK? At least till it's his turn to be hated on again. Sometimes these guys just need some time. I am not sure he has actually played a full season yet until hopefully 2015

This team is f***ing infuriating

Looks like RV made a good managerial decision today by playing Avi over Thompson

It's the height of ignorance to hate on Avi. Why anyone would hate on a 24 year with his skillset is beyond me. I get that he's been below replacement but FFS there is a reason he was a highly coveted prospect doesn't mean he's gonna pan out but this isn't a Viciedo situation. I guarantee if Avi was DFA today you'd have at least a dozen teams ready to scoop him up. He has plenty of PA until his time to prove runs out. Yes the sands are ticking through the hour class but this is a young player that is playing his first full big league season.

 

The injury f***ed him up dev wise. We all should be willing to give him at least another 500 PA.

Looks like the offense is still on track, why did our pitching have to go into the s***ter the past week?

What skill set?

QUOTE (Dunt @ Aug 5, 2015 -> 02:39 PM)
What skill set?

 

the one that consistently hit for high average in the minors? The one that has made two absolute game saving plays on HRs? The one that is among the leaders in OF assists? The clay is there. It needs to be molded.

Rodon is so bad out of the stretch

Great. I'm 100% ok with this. As long as you agree there's zero reason to spend any money on FAs this offseason and to treat 2016 as a major rebuilding year since you can't rely on him to even be a tolerable player next year with any degree of confidence.

He has the lowest WAR among qualified RFers in the MLB. He has the 3rd lowest UZR, only in front of a 33 and 30 year old.

Why is Albers warming up in the 2nd inning? Is Rodon hurt?

Bases were loaded and he was in genuine trouble. I know we're not used to Robin being proactive about having relievers up, so it seems odd.

cool, a supermodel in the booth lol

That was a riveting interview with that VS Model.

 

What kind of clothing will they have?

I have no idea.

 

Awesome.

Thanks for coming.

 

Cute girls - they have the life. Don't have to know or do anything.

How many of those have we had the past week?

3 straight hits including 2 doubles, 5-2 Sox. First "Kansas City Special" reference.

None of those pitches for the 2 doubles and the blooper were bad pitches . In fact They all were pretty good pitches.

We all know the facts but you asked about skill set and it was answered.

Catching 2 balls over the fence isn't a skill set.

It is a skill that a lot of people cant do.

This 670 the Score feed...

 

...radio gold.

 

No but seriously, this is awfully uncomfortable.

Nothing could be more entertaining than DJ and Farmer interviewing a Victoria's Secret model.

 

Farmer's apparently an expert on the Body by Victoria collection...says his daughters enjoy shopping there.

 

Taylor Hill grew up in Colorado so of course he asked her about the Tulowitzki trade and she had no clue...at least didn't pretend to know.

 

DJ asked where to view her pictures...."google me!" Touting the White Sox VS collection, lol.

 

Where to find VS stuff....the website!

 

Should have asked her which of the Angels are evil mean super b****es??

How about hitting .374 in the minors ?

Hitting .374 in the minors is a skill in the majors in what way?
