5/1 vs Oakland Athletics

[Bellhorn04]

One last thing about Chavis. Most of April a lot of posters here, including myself, were complaining about the SOX lack of offense. Chavis already has 4 dingers and now some posters are complaining about his 2nd base play.

 

Proving that there's always something to complain about.

looks like Thornburg is the new closer, errr, holder. See if he can complete a 1-2-3 inning, just once on about 14 pitches.Forget it, Chapman tags his first pitch for a double. Edited May 1, 2019 by vegasbob

Why is Chapman playing 3rd? Ans: Because he can hit and field.

And how many bombs did Rafi had when nobody up here knew him from a hole in the wall?

 

I am OK with Chavis staying....just not prepared to see him play tons of middle infield up here as I am not even convinced he is eventually a 2nd baseman as a full time major leaguer. I might feel a bit more comfortable without the PED history but even then learning middle infield on a team that is supposedly contending for the post season is not a great idea especially for a player that does not seem to have much in the way of quicks around middle infield or footwork around 2nd base. His range is highly suspect from what I have seen.

As long as the offense can keep doing this and we have a 5 run lead every game I am fine with him being the closer..... Or anyone for that matter

vazquez's 5th hr of the season ties a career high. Only 131 games left to set a new one.

 

ped!

[jung]

When are we going to stop with this with Thorny. How many 6 run late inning games do we have to give him anyway?

[Slasher9]

Glad to see that the kids weren't drinking beer.

 

or throwing pizza slices at each other

You weren't around that year. We all knew who he was before he was called up. I made damn sure to talk about him every day that spring/summer.

ped!

 

And for a nice Christian boy like that! Shame!

[Slasher9]

ped!

 

wonders if his locker is near chavis...

[vegasbob]

Thornburg may be getting the IL ride soon if he can't do something about his crap throwing

[Bellhorn04]

Rays lose the first of the doubleheader.

[mvp 78]

Nope, it's next to Chevis' locker.

[jung]

CWS tomorrow? Are there just no days off for ML players this year or do all of ours come in the 2nd half. This seems sort of ridiculous to me.

[TylerD]

Rays lose the first of the doubleheader.

 

Just need Arizona to beat the Yankees and it's a great day.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by Chavis. Keep me in coach, I'm ready to play everyday.

[Slasher9]

Where's Walden about to be 4-0.

4 more W's then Chris Sale to this point of the season.

wonder what the vegas odds on that would have been?

my iphone is tiny but it looked like tzu to me

That is what you get for listening to OB

[TylerD]

My god Thornburg is awful......

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tyler Toastburg

 

I remember when a lot of us were anticipating him getting healthy and really improving the BP. Oh, well.

[vegasbob]

31 games played, almost 20% of the season and the starters still have 3 combined victories. Walden is the A-S candidate with 4 W's ( if TT finishes)

[Slasher9]

Cora might want to get someone up....just sayin

@redsoxstats

 

Chapman just hit a ball 110 mph, 418' for a... double. Fenway stole that and Thornburg is being absolutely toasted again.

[jung]

If I am not mistaken, Thorny just kicked his ERA up to double digits

[vegasbob]

Thornburg's ineptitude forces Barnes to spend another fast warm up session unnecessarity. What a shitbird.

Infinity.
