Buxton has been exciting to watch upon his return. seeing the brilliance his talent is capable of.

That Slam wouldn't have happened earlier this season.  Buxton laid off a really good slider on 0-1 and another on 1-1 to get ahead in the count and get a fastball he could drive. Very, very, very encouraging!

I must have missed something in a thread somewhere. In what universe did the Sox become the good guys?

Watching this pitching and defense it's hard to imagine how these teams could be last in the division...

Buckkkkkkk

What's gotten into him?

Whatever it is I absolutely love it! This needs to continue for the next 15 years. And Sano needs to train like Rocky Balboa did in parts one through four. If he does this we may have two players that could be perennial MVP candidates! I'm trying not to get ahead of myself but I'm already looking forward to next April.

J.R Murphy's call up already paying dividends!

Way to leg that triple into a double, Joe Joe!

Wasn't Saladino in Debbie does Dallas?

Did they just say Berrios starting tomorrow?

Did they just say Berrios starting tomorrow?

Yes

Dozier just amazing!

 

Wasn't Saladino in Debbie does Dallas?

This is a trick question, isn't it?

 

So I'll just go with...gonna have to defer to your expertise here, friend.

Dozier is just ridiculous. It's gonna hurt to trade him.

Dozier is insane.  Insane.  

Two things:

 

I'm feeling good about getting a Dozier jersey. He's been at a MVP level since June.

 

Also, where the heck is Kennys Vargas? AAA has been eliminated, so why isn't he here?

Joe showing some pull power. Then taking a casual stroll to second base.

What happened. Go somewhere else, come back, and Buxton is a homer hitter and Albers looks to be a....keeper!

When he breaks the AL record for HR by a second baseman (37) will people consider Dozier having really high value, trade or otherwise?

Bert:  "Three straight days--in a row!--with a Dozier home run."

yeah, that slacker with only two doubles..

Going into today, only Altuve had a higher fWAR than Dozier (for MLB 2Bs)

I think filming began for his episodes of "My 600 Pound Life."

"Trade value" is sort of in the eye of the beholder.

 

I remember the last car I bought, I asked the dealer what was the trade value of the car I drove to the lot, and he looked at me for a minute, then asked "how much gas is in it?"

So did you trade it, or put more gas in it and keep it?

No.

No.

Logical.

I think Albers is definitely a trash fish!
