QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 24, 2014 -> 02:20 AM) I'm sure they called for a hanging slider down the middle of the plate, and it wasn't called low and in where RB missed his spot because he sucks Even then, why throw anything slow and low to Davis? He's a notorious low ball hitter. Belisario has a mediocre breaking pitch, as his fastball is easily his best pitch. That whole AB, Davis seemed to be looking for something slow.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 24, 2014 -> 02:19 AM) Well, that's 8 consecutive road losses. We have no closer (and Petricka's next in line, why not?), no catcher, no better options in LF and RF, no LH power in the minors to replace Dunn and we MIGHT be able to replace Alexei Ramirez with Carlos Sanchez, but it will still be a huge downgrade. If it wasn't for Abreu and Eaton (glimpses), this season would be unbearable. Just keep Sale healthy...at this point, it's all about the core developing. This team isn't competing for anything this season, so it's all about development.

Guerra the new closer? They can keep going with Belisario.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 24, 2014 -> 03:17 AM) Who did the Sox piss off to have this bad of luck on the road this whole F'N month? It's not bad luck...they're just making HORRIBLE pitches. This bullpen is awful.

Hahn did a magical job with this bullpen...yikes

The person responsible for calling that pitch should be fired/released immediately.

Wow, nice offspeed pitch. What a pathetic pitch call.

Yikes...Baltimore never goes quietly in the 9th vs the Sox.

I think Spencer Adams gave up more hits in the first inning tonight than he did his entire high school season

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 24, 2014 -> 12:02 AM) Is this the game where all of the scouting reports abut Sale throwing alot of change ups catches up to him? They've figured out that it is coming instead of the slider and since it's his 3rd pitch, they can kill it? I know you disagree with the philosophy, but I really hope they start limiting his pitch counts if this team continues to slide. He's not looked nearly as sharp in 3 of his last 4 games now.

Bradley's sloppy ball handling finally came back to haunt them.

The only time you bunt there is if you're Billy Hamilton or you're down 2. Oh well, stay healthy Sale and Abreu.

Ah, there's my man Putnam after Downs faced the righty

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 22, 2014 -> 08:55 PM) If they do trade Alexei, they better get a hell of a haul or it will set the organization back for a few years. Why would it set them back? They clearly need to add more talent to their system, and he's their best trade chip right now. If the Sox believe Sanchez can play competent defense at SS, I don't think Alexei is an untouchable.

Has Putnam warmed up at all this series? Hope he's ok

Alexei the pop up master of late. Please don't wait too long to deal him if you decide it's time to sell!

Offense getting shut down the last 4 innings. Need a bloop and a blast.

Sad when Fuld has played such a big role in beating the Sox this weekend.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 22, 2014 -> 09:12 PM) I'll be shocked if he is here again next year. Not enough +1 in the world to illustrate I agree with this. Truth be told, I was shocked he was brought back this year.

Dunn's been a foul ball machine so far this series. His bat speed seems soooo slow.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 22, 2014 -> 08:44 PM) Terrible mechanics, that's why. Look at where he caught the ball. No shock, the outfield defense has had awful fundamentals dating back to the Dye era.

So many poorly coached players

Wow, why is ADA not throwing home there?

This defense is brutal. Twins close to getting the lead again. Cooper's pitching staff has been incredibly underwhelming this season.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 22, 2014 -> 08:14 PM) Sox are finally battering a horrible pitcher. Good to see. Hughes has been great this year
