That was one of the longest balls Keppinger has hit this year

I'm all for losing for draft position, but I'll gladly accept a Garcia walkoff

Poor Rienzo, they changed that error on Alexei to a hit in his debut and his ERA jumped 1.5 points.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 14, 2013 -> 04:09 AM) Does Detroit really think this bullpen is good enough in the dog days of the playoffs? I can already see the combo of Veras/Benoit blowing games in the playoffs. I bet they'll use Smyly a ton, as he's been one of the better relievers in baseball this year.

Beckham showing Keppinger-esque range there.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 14, 2013 -> 04:03 AM) tough, tough error That's not an error

Alexei with an awful defensive night. That's a play that has to be made.

Some much better swings by Garcia tonight. His speed is ridiculous.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 14, 2013 -> 01:41 AM) Well that was fun. It's shocking how fast he is.

Nice Garcia!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 14, 2013 -> 02:26 AM) According to KW the Sox are determining right now who "deserves" to get asked back next season. If they haven't determined that yet, I really wonder why? Can that go for coaches and Buddy Bell?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 14, 2013 -> 01:23 AM) It is very possible Hawkins, Mitchell and Walker all wind up below .200 this season. Yep, and Trayce Thompson having an awful finish to his season.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20130813 Johnson with a solid start outside of hitting so many batters. On the other hand, they have got to figure out what's wrong with Simon Castro.

After all the deep fly balls yesterday, the Sox have had a ton of cheap hits tonight.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 13, 2013 -> 02:18 AM) I really hope Stone is wrong one way or the other. Either wrong in the statement that the Sox aren't going to pay this guy 10M a year or wrong in the comment that this guy has a chance to be an All Star in year one. If our scouts think he can be an All Star right away then they really need to do what it takes to bring this guy aboard. On a team that has a payroll of under 50M atm 10M isn't going to break the bank. And given the success of Puig, he could bring much needed excitement to the Sox fan base.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 13, 2013 -> 02:13 AM) Where's Hawk? Is he sick? Once the Sox traded Rios, he figured there was no reason to follow the team anymore. He did the Rangers game this morning.

Garcia struggling to get lift, but he took better swings in that AB

Stoney said in the broadcast tonight that he doesn't think the Sox will be able to get Abreu due to the salary demands he'll have.

Wow, that's one of the most impressive plays I've ever seen.

I missed it, did the Tigers have someone forget to tag up?

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 13, 2013 -> 01:37 AM) Yep...not sure what needs to happen at this point A mixture of trying too hard and not trusting his approach.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 13, 2013 -> 01:34 AM) Pretty terrible at bats by Garcia He just doesn't look comfortable at all. His swing has been very choppy.

Nice to see Phegley go up the middle twice

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Aug 13, 2013 -> 01:20 AM) Just get it done. No excuses. Agreed

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 13, 2013 -> 01:08 AM) Alright, now do some work Avisail He's really struggling with his approach at the plate. Looks like all the talk about plate discipline has made him too patient.
