QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 06:00 PM) Don't get me wrong, this game was really awful, but worst ever? Come on. Drama much? Thinking back to some of the epic fails in the Metrodome, or some of the massive blow outs we have had over the years, this is barely a blip on the all-time radar, especially when you figure in the lack of expectations that most people had for this team anyway. It is meant in terms of poor play. Caulfield had a nice mistake counter in the game thread. I think it ended at about 14 and should have been higher.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 02:28 PM) He's done all that's been asked of him and has been a perfectly adequate backup catcher. The idea of playing him more is what's scary. Reading this post, it is like Gimenez and Flowers are the same person.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 02:26 PM) Are you being f***ing serious? Watch it. Reed hangs the f*** out of that slider. If he throws it in right spot, it's a swing and a miss. Relax. Again, watch the at bat. Two fastballs Bautista isn't touching to go 0 2. This followed by a slider well off the plate. Followed by, well, you know. It was bad pitch selection. Doesn't seem new for Flowers.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 02:25 PM) Reed has also been overused, some would say abused, this week. To the point where posters on another board would worry he would end up like Bobby Thigpen after the 57 save season. I like how we can kill our young closer but need to preserve Crain for the Red Sox playoff run.

Again, at least watch the at bat before you comment.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 02:11 PM) Seriously though, did he give up the game tying homer? He was even worse with the pitch calling than usual, so yeah he has some of the responsibility.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 02:09 PM) This thread needs to be locked and burned. Hector Gimenez? This is the MLB equal of hoping for Henry Burris. It's hard to be worse than Henry Burris....so we just have to laugh at Tyler Flowers.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 02:04 PM) Good god, the guy goes 2-4, has a .923 OPS in June, and because he apparently gets run over or something by Maicier Izturis (didn't see the game, shoot me), we get this thread bump (and 3 others). Must have been his fault Jose Bautista hit a game tying homer too. He shouldn't have been exhaling at that moment. I'm just going to chalk this post to not watching the game. Not that I blame you.

He's tied for 11th in the league, number one among backups.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 03:48 AM) @PWSullivan Cubs acquire RH Henry Rodriguez from Nats for Class A RH Ian Dickson. Sanchez DFA'd Discuss. Pick up Eduardo Sanchez now. I know notbing about him, other than a 1.80 ERA as a 22 year old.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 03:37 AM) I think Gimenez is a fine catcher. I'm not sure where you see terrible in the guy. He hits when he needs to and defends the plate well. He gives up a ton of past balls.

We need Crain fresh for the Yankees playoff run.

Gimenez please. Hes terrible but so much less terrible.

Call him up...or anyone to tske Flowers spot please.

Right behind the 20 to 1 stomping for me.

Mr. GWer himself on deck.

Man I thought for sure Konerko was getting a green light just to make this team look dumber. Maybe he did.

Bright side it is not 1 run so De Aza doesnt have to try and play hero

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 03:17 AM) I'd have to see a replay to see if he did something wrong, but it's hard for me to mad at a catcher on a play like that. You don't really get to practice that one anywhere. Just our kind of day. It was awful.

He is soooooo terrible.

Haha haha haha haha

This is one of the worst Sox games I've ever seen

:lolhitting

Ventura is such a great manager.

Saw that coming. Bad on Reed and Flowers.
