2 batters, 2 runs for the Angels

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Aug 19, 2015 -> 02:20 AM) Given all the breaks they've caught this year, this game getting rained out before it's official would be par for the course. Battle of bullpens and wind howling out is far from an easy Tigers win

No LaRoche or Thompson tonight. Garcia at DH, Shuck in RF

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 06:02 AM) .407 vs. .758 is your answer. RH hitters are hitting .176 with a .407 OPS vs. Joe Smith. LH hitters have fared a lot better. Salas and Street have big splits as well. Can't believe Beckham got two at bats vs them.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 04:41 AM) Robin has some explaining to do It's like he didn't look ahead to possible matchups in the top of the 9th

Inexcusable managing by Ventura.

No Soto for Beckham?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 04:37 AM) Avi has to be hurt. It goes against all logic even dumbing it down to Robin standards. With Avi being DH, he probably just made the straight platoon switch

Saladino's swing is awful. Way too long

Heck of a start for Rodon. Great to see him go 8 innings without throwing 200 pitches

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 04:27 AM) No, we'll unload the bench to pinch hit in the 9th because, it's the 9th. Sanchez and Soto only guys left. Assuming Avi isn't injured, using LaRoche for him instead of for Flowers is crazy.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 05:25 AM) Roll those hands over AR..................this team is full of automatic outs. Something that Maddon started doing with Castro (who hits an insane amount of ground balls) is basically doing a hit-and-run whenever someone is on first with Castro up.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 05:24 AM) And of course Alexei grounds into the DP. Probably the least surprising result of the season

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 05:24 AM) I don't see any way Robin stays. His too inept even for this team Just leave him in California, he never wanted the job anyways

Well, the predictable double play. Ventura is just insanely bad at his job.

I'm pretty sure this pitcher is dating Allie LaForce

Hit-and-run time to avoid the 5-4-3

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 05:20 AM) Please get rid of this piece of garbage LaRoche or Ventura?

amazing at bat by LaRoche. That stupid decision also makes it so Flowers or Soto will have to face Street.

Um, Avi being hit for? Hopefully he's not injured

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 04:15 AM) We don't need offense. We have pitch framing. And Beckham!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 04:14 AM) If Rodon's K total tonight are any indication, he might not have his best stuff tonight which makes it even more impressive to me. His stuff is good tonight, they're just attacking him earlier in the count. A start like tonight is more impressive to me than his start at Wrigley last month where he had horrible command but got lucky.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 04:12 AM) Don't worry Avi will get a single and Robin will PH LaRoche and he will swing into a double play I'm guessing Shuck bats for Trayce

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 18, 2015 -> 04:03 AM) why the f*** is beckham still here? Seemed like the most obvious decision in history to have Sanchez bat for Beckham there

Oh yay, Hawk wants the Sox to retaliate in a 1-1 game in the 7th
