I put on the soccer game, but how deep was Viciedo's fly out?

Big time warning track power today. At least 4 fly outs to the warning track.

QUOTE (Señor Ding-Dong @ Jun 21, 2014 -> 08:10 PM) Is it possible Rienzo and Carroll switch spots? Carroll takes Rienzo's place in the rotation and Rienzo goes to the pen in the longman role. The options in AAA are slim and none...maybe Surkamp... I imagine that is what they'll do. Hopefully Rienzo does well as a long reliever, as that seems to be his future role with the team going forward.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 21, 2014 -> 09:05 PM) Carroll or Rienzo? Rodon

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 21, 2014 -> 09:01 PM) That's why I think it would be wise to sign Shields and put him in between Sale and Quintana. My biggest concern with Shields is all the innings he's thrown in his career, as well as his stuff looking pretty mediocre of late.

QUOTE (iguchi=dank @ Jun 21, 2014 -> 08:00 PM) The saddest part of that post by u yesterday is that unless we dfa him that vesting option is flat easy to reach when he is the only lefty. We really have to dfa him in a couple months if we are outa it. That's a ton of money that we really need to go to someone else to fill a pitching or outfield slot. Ada and Dayan are prolly done, maybe u keep one Yeah, you absolutely cannot pay him 4 million next year. That would be an epic blunder by the Sox to let that happen.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 21, 2014 -> 08:00 PM) He gave up 4 runs. Not 14. That's a keeping your team in it. It's the sputtering offense is why it seems like he doesn't give us a chance He didn't even get out of the 5th inning. His ERA is now 5.86. 3 of his last 4 starts were shorter than 5 innings.

Rienzo's next schedule start is at Toronto....ouch

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 21, 2014 -> 08:57 PM) Rienzo is hot garbage. Bring back E. Johnson. Hell no to Johnson...he doesn't deserve to get innings at the big league level. Either he's hurt or mentally is off his game.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 21, 2014 -> 08:57 PM) It is a disgraceful staff for the big league level. It's definitely the type of staff that has no chance of letting you contend. 2 out of every 5 games, you're just praying they can keep you in the game.

If the Sox don't intend to spend substantial money for a #2 starting pitcher this offseason, they really should be looking to trade Alexei (while his value is still high).

Next in line to start in Rienzo's place? Can't imagine they let him start another game, as he doesn't even give this team a chance of late.

Just make sure Downs doesn't pitch today to get closer to that awful vesting option.

Rienzo is flat out not starting caliber. Hahn and Cooper with the big fail in regards to this pitching staff this season.

And of course, the awful ADA defense comes back to haunt the Sox. What a terrible team right now.

I guess the umpire is done calling strikes for Rienzo. Trouble brewing

QUOTE (iguchi=dank @ Jun 21, 2014 -> 08:49 PM) He really makes me not want to listen to the broadcasts especially when we lose some tough games. Thankfully I live in nashville and can switch to the other feeds sometimes... Unless it's the tigers were playing. I don't know how Stoney puts up with it, I'm sure he would leave if he knew there was another job out there. Stone should be on espn or fox national style. Hawk is only good anymore when I get a can of corn type play or we got a man there or win a game late. El canon with his terrible accent is about the worst thing ever other than when he starts using hell a lot. For him to say that ball was fair when the viewing audience can't see the umpire is ridiculous

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 21, 2014 -> 07:43 PM) 2 runs only off Correia thru 5 sad. 2 runs off of Pino, Nolasco and Correia each. Not sure you'll face three worst pitchers combined in a series.

Alexei fails again to get an RBI

Hawk is just a horrible, horrible announcer. The amount of mistakes he makes every game is inexcusable.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 21, 2014 -> 07:38 PM) Good God, Hawk... retire "El Canon"... nobody likes it. Even Abreu said he doesn't like it. +1

Beckham quietly down to .270, as he was at .300 12 days ago

You hardly ever see a comment like the one Paul Sullivan made in this Sox article on chicagosports.com about last night's game Do the Sox need a second lefty in the pen to relieve the pressure on Downs? "We could have used 'Downsie' in that situation but Joe is good against lefties," Ventura said. "That isn't necessarily the one (we would bring a lefty in to face). But there are times when it would be nice to have another one down there but our (right-handers), some guys are good against lefties." Actually Mauer was hitting .220 against lefties with no home runs in 91 at-bats. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,4864096.story

QUOTE (iguchi=dank @ Jun 21, 2014 -> 04:42 AM) Hey it wasn't the wooorst idea to start him there but u couldn't afford him to keep throwing after the walk. Easy to see that and I also agree that coop plays a huge role there too so it's on him also Again, where's Putnam? Why hasn't the best reliever on the team thrown a single pitch in a time game the last two nights?

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jun 21, 2014 -> 04:39 AM) In Webbs last 7 multi inning outings he had allowed 0 rounds. In the 8 games he's allowed runs, 5 of them have been multiple innings. His WHIP in these long outings has not been good either.
