QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ May 8, 2013 -> 12:58 AM) This "offense" is a disgrace to baseball. Beyond pathetic. Once they return to the Cell, they have to do something with the lineup.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 8, 2013 -> 12:55 AM) Didn't they say the other day Danks would take his spot? Just LOL. I don't know what this guy did to Ventura/Hahn/Williams, but must have been bad. On the radio today, Cooper didn't exactly give Santiago a vote of confidence with regards to starting the rest of the year.

QUOTE (Baron @ May 8, 2013 -> 12:52 AM) Hahn also needs to check his head when going over the Kepp signing. The signing was fine as long as they didn't have to overexpose him. The Beckham injury has been a killer with this.

Cancel the postgame! Ok Dunn, hit a homer

That's at least 6 outs now on first or second pitch slider off the plate.

ADA chasing pitches all over the place. He's so unfocused this year.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 8, 2013 -> 01:46 AM) I was just thinking about bumping some old threads, but I'll be nice. I don't think any of us thought Gimenez would be his back-up.

Santiago rebounded from a slow start to have a fantastic outing. Gotta love what we've seen from him in his two starts.

Also, for as bad as he's been, at least Flowers has won 3 games due to his bat.

QUOTE (Baron @ May 8, 2013 -> 01:40 AM) Whoever decided that this philosophy was fine needs to be fired immediately. Better though than someone who spends money just to spend money and try to trick the fans/themselves.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 8, 2013 -> 01:40 AM) No way he can be starter in 2014. There's just aren't enough LHP in the AL Central to justify having him get so much playing time this year. However, they wanted to give him his shot, so you can't end it now.

QUOTE (Baron @ May 8, 2013 -> 12:38 AM) Lets put it this way Tyler is just terrible. Hahn needs to go over his position on that. What a horrible mistake he made there. I've said this before, but the Sox going with Flowers without a legit back-up this season was all the proof I needed that they didn't think they could contend with Detroit. That philosophy is fine, and they're probably not shocked at how bad he is.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 8, 2013 -> 12:37 AM) Flowers just not starter material backup he is fine. I'm very confident the Sox organization is figuring that out this season.

Flowers has a terrible eye at the plate.

Whew

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 8, 2013 -> 01:26 AM) When they took the MRI they said it showed nothing. If the test is that unreliable, why do they take it? Here's a question: did they flat out miss the tears last year when he had similar pain?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 8, 2013 -> 12:25 AM) that called strike 3 has been a ball all night. He hasn't called anything low. Until now. Thing is, I wish he would have swung and tried to make it 1-0.

Why in the hell are the hitters chasing these offspeed pitches early in the count?

Chasing balls, taking strikes. Gillaspie's strikeout rate is alarming as well.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ May 8, 2013 -> 12:11 AM) When did De Aza become a SO machine? Must have been when our players went to idiot school this offseason.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 8, 2013 -> 12:09 AM) why does de aza swing a pitches he has no chance of hitting He can't hit low offspeed pitches and can't get on top of high fastball this year.

Let's hope JA Happ is ok after getting hit in the head with a line drive.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 8, 2013 -> 12:03 AM) Chances seem decent we are the Mets second no hitter. Someone will get a hit for the Sox, probably Wise.

JA Happ just took a vicious liner off the head on MLB Network.

Hawk hates the Sox offense. Never heard him so bitter about it.
