GreatScott82 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Beckett has 8 loses. So he clearly not as dominate as last season...lets get to him early and run with it! This would be a HUGE series win and boost for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Going to the game tonight... I'm excited to see Danks and Beckett live. Hopefully he beat the s*** out of that D-Bag Beckett though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Danks on the mound, first place, and a series win on the line. I like it. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Going to the game tonight, last time I saw Beckett pitch was 2 years ago in Yankee Stadium and NY put up about 10 runs on him...hope we can do the same and give Danks an easy win!

rcpweiner Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I agree about moving A.J. out of the 2-hole. It was a good idea earlier on in the season when there were no other options, but at this point, I'd rather have Swisher up there for his OBP or Alexei for his general speedsmanship. Stick A.J. at 6 or 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 RBI is such an overrated stat, it's like wins for starting pitchers. You can't control what the people in front of you do. I keep hearing "omg Hamilton has 50 trillion RBI's", but if Quentin had the same guys hitting in front of him, he'd be in the same boat, if not have a few more runs batted in.

It's just not fair, Hamilton gets Kinsler and Young and Quentin gets Cabrera and Pierzynski. Ouch. Problem is, except for about 40 points of slugging, those are right on Cabrera's career numbers. His OBP is actually slightly higher this season that it is in his career. This is just who he is...he's a below average player with the bat.

I guess you could try Swish with all the walks he draws, but so many strikeouts. Alexei can run and hits for great average, but can't walk. Even OC isn't a very good leadoff hitter right now.

rcpweiner Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I think the main thing is that either of them seem like better fits than A.J. right now. Mix it up and see what works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I have a couple of softball games so I won't get to listen to the Sox. Go get the series win, that would be huge. It'd also be awesome to have Griffey hit his first homer in a Sox uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
