The book on Abreu has shifted back to throw everything inside to him

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 09:04 PM) Petricka has a better repertoire and certainly a better second pitch. Unless Webb's in the high 90's and not 94-96, he's not going to have a very long shelf life. Webb has much better secondary pitches

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 08:02 PM) RV is so stupid. Webb needs to be closing. I still think it's worth a shot in September to see if he gains a few mph on the heater

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 09:01 PM) How hard is it to get one out. They should have let the starter stay. If not for double plays the last two innings, it would have been even uglier for him

Webb is awful at pitching up in the zone with his fastball when he has two strikes.

So strange how Abreu can't elevate the ball now

Right call there, pretty dumb by Nieto

Still shocked he let PK and Flowers face the righty closer. Oh well, great to have Avi back.

Just have to laugh at PK batting there

No shock Lindstrom doing bad, as he was getting destroyed in AAA

Nice PK. Fun game so far

Avi just missed a 3 run homer, goes for an RBI single.

Funny to see Buehrle throw same pitch to Beckham, and Gordon unable to make an adjustment in any of his at bats

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 12:19 AM) Danks sucks Both do, and the fact he put up some big time numbers in Charlotte makes you really wonder about Davidson's struggles

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 01:08 AM) Avi looks good up there. He is shaking that shoulder, but that is to be expected. Amazing he is back so early. Just awesome for our franchise. Two at bats, two rockets

This ump has one of the smallest zones of the year

Danks has nothing yet again.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 08:21 PM) So where does avisail bat today, 2nd? I would guess 5th

https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/500721059206025216 Follow Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes Moises Sierra to DL. Avisail Garcia off the DL. Charlie Leesman designated for assignment. Javy Guerra to bereavement list. Eric Surkamp up.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 02:11 AM) Yes. Of course they have a great match and boring Tyson Kidd runs out. Just release him or put him in a non main event tag team with Gabriel. Um, not with Total Divas still on the air.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 03:09 AM) They didn't call it a swing. They called it a foul tip. You can't review a "swing". That is umpire discression. I think I better clarified my opinion after that initial post, as I questioned if it might have impacted the decision by the review ump even though he's technically not supposed to take that into consideration.

Spencer Adams vs Jacob Gatewood...I'm assuming at least two strikeouts tonight

Wow Flowers...has a chance for a special night

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 02:45 AM) That is irrelevant though, they didn't ask the first base umpire if he went and that is not reviewable. The review was if he was hit or not, and he clearly was I absolutely agree with you it's a ridiculous call.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 01:38 AM) Even after the review they signaled it was tip though. Wrong call, appropriate outcome. Gotta wonder if the replay ump saw the check swing and let that impact his decision.
