QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 04:06 AM) Yep, bad play. What a throw by Flowers. Alexei absolutely should be benched tomorrow. I don't care if you play Konerko at SS, you have to send a message that mental errors can't be happening along with physical errors.

Might as well walk Lind to set up the DP. One of the Sox players must be responsible for the power at the Cell as well.

Alexei continues to have a dreadful game. He flat out dropped the throw from Flowers. What a disgrace.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 04:02 AM) Just for fun, we'll call it mistake #10, Ventura not pinch-hitting for Gillaspie against a LHP. That's arguable, if they had another RH reliever up in the pen that wasn't a good match-up for Keppinger, OR Ventura could argue that Gillaspie's giving him the better defense. It's not like Keppinger, Dunn and DeAza haven't been our best hitters recently. (Although Gillaspie, in fairness, had the key hit of the game until that Bautista/Reed at-bat, but was also 0 for June almost). I don't believe you can bring in a new pitcher once the pitcher goes to the mound to start an inning.

The 3 big hits this year off of Reed have all been on his slider.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 03:58 AM) Ventura is such a great manager. Lefties hit .117 against Cecil, so of course, that means Gillaspie should leadoff instead of using Keppinger.

Well, those were two of the ugliest strikeouts of the year. Has Flowers ever had a hit in the 9th inning of a game?

Swing for the fences Tyler

Gillaspie should have never been up there to face a LHP. That last swing was worse than NL pitchers.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 02:55 AM) Bucket, how did u know it was coming? Addy has been arguably our best player this season. Crain says "what?!"

Where's Kep?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 02:51 AM) Can't touch your heat, so speed up his swing with a high slider. Yep

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 02:50 AM) Joey Bats'd Questionable pitch selection

Reed picked a bad time to hang a slider. This is just one of those crazy games. Need to focus on getting Encarnacion here.

If Beckham blew that DP, does Hawk just leave the booth?

Wow, what a crazy game!

Ha, Arencibia was never going to walk twice in this game

Terrible 0-2 pitch by Thornton, and now we have him facing a righty when they've killed him all year. Bad managing to go with the awful execution all night.

Nate Jones cannot go multiple innings

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 03:08 AM) Did I see Santiago in the bullpen again? Seriously?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 02:02 AM) Beckham's outs have been hit hard for the most part simce he's been back. Yep, he's been swinging the bat great

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 01:52 AM) Harrelson's plan...not sure how that one would work with the Player's Association and service time, but it's an IDEA at least, which is better than NOTHING. What he say?

ANOTHER miscue, the 2nd of the game for Alexei. One of the sloppiest games I've ever seen a team play.

No shock, 3rd time thru the order, and Quintana gets rocked

Well, that's 5 miscues in the first 4 innings of a game. Can everyone in the lineup get one? Alexei Flowers Viciedo De Aza Beckham
