Buxton what is going on...

So... how is progress going on that designated fielder rule?

Not sure I like these decisions to let the two most K prone guys on the team swing away in these situations. Really could use another run here.

Whatdya mean!? Better to go down swinging at garbage than take those pitches!

But do you make contact?

I make "incidental" contact until I get thrown out.

 

Agreed, but man I hate to lose that elite CF play.

K's are out weighing his fielding at this point!!!!!

I thought that commercial about confidence might be about ED, but nope cars! Thankfully they followed with a boner commercial. Was starting to feel cheated.

Mental ED is no laughing matter

I don't disagree with this, but we need to do something. He simply can't hit a baseball right now. At least 1 day off would maybe do him some good. 

I have no problem listening to their radio guys. Harrelson needs to grab some bench.

He did grab bench. He's not there. I said without, not with.

 

Holy crap. We gotta give him a day off. He is overmatched, and simply providing no value at the plate. it's as simple as that. If you can't hit, you shouldn't be in the lineup. 

He can hit the 9 hole for me if he plays defense like he does consistently.

 

I'm not sure that's a reviewable call, though. I get the circumstances, but it's not an objective type of review.

Technically it wasn't reviewed. The replay was used to make the original call.

Lol that was not a strike

Weeeeeeeeellll, it's close. He's been absolutely money in the field.

I like the way Duffy looks out of the pen.

I still expect the nine hitter to make contact one out of 4 times

 

Weeeeeeeeellll, it's close. He's been absolutely money in the field.

And absolutely an out at the plate.

It's been a few tough days for Buck offensively, but i don't want this org to give up on him and send him down. I do believe he will get it together.

Seriously. You could pay me 100,000 and I'll give you just as many Ks

Technically it wasn't reviewed. The replay was used to make the original call.

Okay, right ... not what I was getting at ... I didn't know that replay was allowed to be used in a subjective situation like that. Even the Sox announcers questioned it. And they also said before and during it should be what it was so they weren't questioning the outcome, just the process.

That was filthy.

Gawd, the ChiSox catcher is good entertainment. Between falling down everytime he throws back to the pitcher and nearly going down on that last backswing... good stuff.

And absolutely an out at the plate.

You're not wrong.

Sit him on the bench and extra batting practice with real pitches, not batting practice!!!!

If everyone wins 60 and loses 60, why isn't the season just 40 games long ?

He did that all last year, too. Wonder how long he's done that?

When the season is all said and done, I'm sure that's what his average will be atleast.

Who will be pitching the 8th?

I think Duffy has another inning in him.

Because then we would only go 40-0 instead of 162-0??

I remember that, I only wonder if he's reciting Playboy Playmate profiles when he does it.
