Oye! It's great to have Gabe back

[sarasoxfan]

I wonder what our record is since our good friend gabe kapler came back to the sox.

 

He is friggin amazing.

 

when he gets a chance to play he brings it.

 

never a complaint in the papers about playing time, always the first guy up the steps to cheer, gutty fielding..the clutch hit, speed on the bases.

 

He's the man. You cant understate the importance of having guys like this in the dugout.

amen to that

 

all hail kap

I'm all for Gabe Kapler getting more playing time and Millar getting less. I know Gabe can't play first, but there's absolutely no reason why Millar should play right field with Kapler in the fold. NONE.

 

Considering Gabe got robbed last night of a homer.... he's already got half as many homers as Millar, despite the fact that he doesn't get enough playing time.

[riverside sluggers]

did anyone see that throw kap made to 3rd base from the right field, even though it didnt make it in time to tag the runner out, he just threw a lazer and accurate one at that to mueller

[sarasoxfan]

yeah I saw it, and I thought it was a pleasant change to the usual 6 or 7 hops that come on a millar toss when he ooozes (lol) into right.

 

gabe tracks down fly balls and makes hard catches look routine..millar makews the easiest play look like a circus catch.man, I laugh when I see kevin dive for anything.

 

But since I am neither opinionated or negative, I'll say this: kapler is a great addition to this year's team.

Kapler is awesome. Too bad he got robbed last night.

[yankeessuck013]

hard to believe that Kapler struggled in Japan......glad hes back though, best trading deadline aquisiton

Lets not get crazy here, he's a tremendous glove no doubt about that but he's not that great a hitter. You guys remember when he first came to the Sox. The first game he played he went 3 for 4 with a single, double, and triple, then went 3-4 the next day with a homer and two singles. Everyone was tihnking, who is this guy and why didn't we call him up earlier. He pretty much fell off the map as far as the bat goes after that. This situation is very similar to that. All I'm saying is don't think he's going to carry on like this for the rest of the season.

That first to third play which also allowed Damon to advance to second made me really happy to have Gabe on the team. He's like Trot Nixon, only less annoying. He gives it his all and is always there to make the smart play.

[sarasoxfan]

ahh, sizzlin...talk about rain on a parade..just when i was trying to be so positive about someone. you have to go and bring us back down to earth..coiuldnt you just play along.

pretend he can hit like this.

he's got intangibles to offer...how about that?

[Sizzlin22]

Ha Don't get me wrong I love the guy, he's just getting a little too much love here.

[BoSox21]

this is why Ive been arguing that Id rather have Kapler than Payton if I'm managing the Sox

[Sizzlin22]

I'm not getting into this one again.
