The Ginger Kid Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Danks pitched great and these last 2 starts should not go unnoticed with the deadline approaching. Package him with Alexei to Pitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Lopez's Ghost Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 When you pinch hit for Flowers, Soto has to pinch hit for our weakest hitter due up next right? How on earth can he not use Soto there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 08:14 PM) You're acting like he's the only left-handed hitter who gets this shift put on him. Not even close. Rizzo gets it too. So does Ortiz and a lot of other good left handed hitters. Changing their approach to hit the other way would likely take away more than it would give. Â Unless you're Mike Moustakas who has learned to hit the other way and also is 5 for 5 in bunting hits against the shift.

GreenSox Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 10:13 PM) Amazing that all the coaches have kept their jobs this year. Who are they going to fire? Ventura had marginal qualifications; he was brought in to be a Cooper/Williams sycophant - to do what Cooper and Williams tell him to do. He's probably doing that job well. Steverson was Hahn's lone hire, the lone non-insider, so Hahn doesn't want to give up on him. Â Is there any chance that JR gets fed up with this s***?

How on earth can he not use Soto there? Â Kind of weird he pinch hit for Flowers. Not that it makes much of a difference but there's always a chance Tyler runs into one to tie the game up since he's big lumox but Shuck won't hit a HR . Only power on the bench is Beckham and Soto and neither was used . Rosenthal is RH but if Ventura thinks the Sox get 3 straight hits to tie it he's crazy. Have to think HR in that situation even if Rosenthal gives up very few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Anyone else notice the pitch Molina hit, Robertson tilted his head to the left? Maybe subliminally tipped what was coming on the next pitch. Â Before he threw it, I was wondering why he did it. Sure enough, outside part of the plate, and Molina may have seen that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Jul 22, 2015 -> 08:03 PM) A curious question... If Abreu is hurting and laroche hits better when he's playing 1b.... Why is Abreu playing 1b? Â Probably because he's getting paid $25M for 2 years to hit no matter where he plays , but you make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely Flowers K's but have to be thinking HR there not a single and pray for another single and another single . No big deal Shuck could've got a hit, a walk, a HBP and with his speed scored on a double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â No wonder pitchers have the edge these days. Pitch after pitch Lynn goes for the outside corner mavbe the high strike also . But with the help of the ump he was getting a lot of strikes called there. Â I just wonder why a hitter who can guess a FB on the outer half is coming doesn't move closer to the plate during the windup. Yes i know that wouldn't give a guy time to dig in that back foot but still gives you a better chance to barrel it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) By the numbers: Â 7th time this year the Sox have lost a game when leading in the 7th inning or later. 52nd time this season they've scored three runs or less in a game. 14th time this year Sox lose a game when allowing three runs or less. Â Good teams find ways to win, bad teams find ways to lose. Hit by Pitcher and catcher interference both loom big and both cross the plate.

BigHurt3515 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Is there a reason why Robin brought in Duke was brought in against a bunch of guys with good numbers against him?
