QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 04:13 AM) He's a starter. He was doing well as a starter. We decided to make him a reliever. It was dumb and we're paying for it 4.54 in AAA with a .302 batting average against isn't doing "well", in my opinion. They had to try and make him a LOOGY, as righties were destroying him.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 04:12 AM) Some money on the bullpen players who wont be released before or during the season would be nice Hahn. Hopefully he does better than he did this year, as Downs was a complete flop and Belisario has been awful also. The Sox did spend some money on their pen this year, sadly.

Jorge Soler having a monster year. If he stays healthy, he might end up being a top 20 prospect.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 03:09 AM) Why is Surkamp being used in hugh leverage situations? More like why is he in the majors. There has to be some lefty reliever in the system that can get other lefties out.

This bullpen is absolutely awful. Surkamp isn't even close to throwing a strike with his offspeed pitch. He belongs in the Paulino group for absolutely ridiculous expectations on here coming into the season.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 03:45 AM) Walk Suzuki Not the best of games for the coaching staff

Abreu is so awesome

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 02:02 AM) Johnson walked 3 guys in the 4th. Just shut him down already. Of late, he's been starting strong and then just hitting the wall. Maybe try him as a reliever to gain some confidence?

Ugh, PK goes down without swinging

Matt Davidson swinging the invisible bat again.

I can't remember the last time Sale looked this bad.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 02:25 AM) He is to busy giving interviews saying the whole team is staying as is. It's more Ventura has to go out there to give his bench/replay coach time to watch the video.

Wow, nice break there!

He barely touched 2nd, if at all, on Alexei's grounder as well

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 02:22 AM) That's real close in terms of having control of it in his glove. Ugh, should have been reviewed, as he was safe

That's real close in terms of having control of it in his glove.

Offense in the system has been quiet tonight.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 01:16 AM) If Beckham threw home there would be a man on first one out and the score would be the same. But why back up on the ball when the infield is in?

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 02:14 AM) worst inning for sale this season, not much command. lots of hard-hit balls. And 2 bad defensive plays and a brain fart by Beckham.

WTF Beckham?

Wow, quite the meltdown for Sale. He keeps overthrowing everything tonight, and has no command. All this after what should have been a double play and no runs scored in the inning.

Well, what should have been a double play has led to a big inning for Twins. Sale is overthrowing big time tonight. Gillaspie not showing much range.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 01:04 AM) Come on Alexi get in front of the ball. Costing the Sox a lot of runs

Alexei's defense hasn't been very good of late.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 11:50 PM) I'd be curious to see what details he has here? Teams? Player? Could this be revisited in the off season? Jason Castro comes to mind
