Well, it's actually 9-6, but hopefully they'll take Kelly out and bring in Gordon now that there's 1 on and 0 out.
Lol..what the hell was I typing.
Shocked me that with Tom already up they didn't bring him in.
Now go get em Tom
Crede chases two high fastballs and strikeouts. Sandy is now up and he swings at the first pitch and hits it softly to the pitcher.
To the bottom of the 9th..6-3 Sox.
Come on Gordon close this one out.
In this case Marte didn't pitch Sat, Sun or Monday so he should be very fresh.
I wouldn't of used him if Buehrle didn't get in this jam. I'd let him get out of this and then if the Sox score any runs in the top of the 8th I'd go to Ginter and then Koch.
I agree with you.
I've said all along that Crede and Olivo should be allowed to grow. THey will play good defense and improve. I think Crede will become a very good offensive player sooner then Olivo (I think we'll see Crede have a pretty good late run to the season and he'll have a much better year next year).
Still I've always said those two were getting blamed becasue the other guys (The ones expected to get the job done...weren't getting it done).
He is going to be relieving this season unless the Sox drastically need him. This tells me another deal is in the works or they will be calling up a mnior leaguer.
Either way I see another deal in the works.
2 minutes ago the radio here reported it.
It was hillarious...caller was talking about why they'd deal Schoey. Talk show host had no idea he was getting dealt (it was Hacksaw for those that are familiar with him) and after he hangs up the phone they finally hear about the deal.
Ya...we gave up one older prospect for one thats a bit older but with better numbers. Not quite as good of an arm, but I've heard Nickle can hit 94 (Saw him pitch but didn't pay close enough attention to hte point I can't remember him much). I know he looked solid.
Bittner is just a scrub in my book.
I like it cause it gives the Sox a damn good lefty reliever or a guy that could turn into a good starter although I have my doubts about him in the rotation.
I'm happy. Sox still have a need in the pen though, imo.
