Soxfest Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 09:49 PM) Rongey just stated that the reason that Pavano does well against the sox is that they dont matchup well with this pitch he throws. It sinks and is slower, and thats what CQ had problems with tonight. ITS CALLED A CHANGEUP. Rongey never will just say Sox have issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 02:51 AM) When the Pirates with a win tonight are over .500 and the Sox are not even .500 there is a huge problem with this team! I'm loving the rejuvenation of the Pirates. Hanrahan is a stud, and someone I wanted the Sox to look into last year along with Matt Lindstrom (I'm a sucker for hard throwers in the Futures Game).

Not really. The Pirates, aided by a hoard of s***ty seasons that's enabled them to collect some elite young talent, and a couple of under the radar moves (getting Charlie Morton in the McClouth trade, Tabata from the Yankees and signing Kevin Correia last winter), has brought them back to respectability. They're basically the Royals of the NL. They've made a commitment to scouting/drafting/signing/developing and they're FINALLY starting to reap some of the reward. Really doesn't make us look bad. We look bad enough on our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you probably already know this, as you're as big as fan of the guy as I am. But Andrew McCutchen is 4th in all of baseball in WAR. He's the anti-Beckham. Andrew gets better every year while Gordon continues to regress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They cant beat their own division. They havent been able to beat the twins in years. They cant beat the Tigers over the last year or so.

I understand its one game, but this was the f***ing Rochester Redwings we faced tonight. Not the twins. 1.) I don't think it's luck anymore. The Twins laugh their asses off because they know how to beat us and do beat us over and over. 3-0 this year. I think it's going to be another lopsided season series in favor of Minnesota. Will we beat them once in Minnesota? Ever year it gets worse ag. them. 2.) How many games have we won after trailing after 7? I would say very few. I agree with you. One of the team's weaknesses is being mentally weak. 3.) Spare me. It's always one game but these Twins games are very annoying. 4.) We can't beat Minnesota. It's going to drive us all insane. Law of averages won't even take over. s***, just the fact when AJ is playing every Twins single turns into a double means the percentages are also against us when we play Minnie. How many runs will that mean for Minnesota in a 19-game season series?? Can Castro throw any better? We almost have to sit AJ. He can't throw any Twin player out!!!!
