Should they seriously consider keeping Carlos Sanchez and send down Saladino?

 

Sanchez was awesome with the bat last night. Started the 8th inning rally with a double, then drew a key 2 out walk to put Eaton in scoring potion for Abreu s game winning single. Saladino is better with the glove at SS, but his bat is a liability in the 2 hole.

 

Has any team ever yoyoed players? Keep Sanchez up until he cools, then bring up Saladino if he starts raking playing every day in AAA?

Why is Duke still being asked to get high leverage outs? I would've left Albers in to face Davis he's our best reliever to this point.

 

I was at the game in Baltimore. Said that exact thing to my son. You don't let another pitcher ruin his scoreless innings streak. Let him get Davis there and pick up the win.

 

It was Renteria making the calls at that point. Not sure Robin would have done the same.

Several stars last night.

 

Eaton. Made two fabulous catches, plus one he made look easy in the gap in CF. Laid down a perfect 2 out bunt against Baltimore s lefty closer, which got him hurt and out of the game.

 

Frazier. 2 run bomb in 8th to take 2 run lead. Some great plays at 3rd. Was only Sox player to sign my son's Sale jersey.

 

Sands. Got bottom of lineup to start the scoring with two singles.

 

Sanchez. See above.

 

Latos. Was getting hit hard, but battled enough to keep Sox in the game.

 

Lawrie. Hit a bomb early. Stole second and came around on a 2 out Jackson single in the 7th.

 

Jackson. Clutch 7th inning single cut the game to 1 run.

 

Jones. 4 out win.

 

Abreu. Early ABs were rough, but he drove in runs in the 8th and 9th with singles to right. Last one at toned for error that let Os tie it in the 8th.

Just got done with the game and wow, I love this team. I had to apologize to my girlfriend for waking her up because I literally jumped out of bed when Frazier went yard.

The Sox have eaten a few contracts in their time. Keppinger one of the recent contracts

 

Huge difference, massive between Keppinger at four million or say what Danks, Dunn, LaRoche and Ramirez were / are making.

Keppinger was 8.5 million and 2 years worth of money. Not a far cry from Danks with 5 months left and 13 million he's owed.

It's funny. My son and I both leapt to our feet too. My son said, "I don't think I've reacted like that watching a game on tv in a long time". I personally do that all the time though he's always more laid back in his enthusiasm. This team is really fun and exciting.

How many "hell yeses!" has Harrelson had this year?

 

Noticed it on the Frazier go-ahead HR yesterday in the highlights.

I think we should do the opposite. It is working quite well

 

If by "working quite well" you mean "turning the game threads into unreadable cesspools of drama and hormones", then yes, I agree.

Wish you could just enjoy the long overdue winning our team is experiencing and let go of the misery witch hunt!

Nah, you gotta earn this level of shade and you have not. You basically just shat all over yourself.
