Very nice AB by Danks considering the strike zone.

2-0 Angels

Why was Viciedo pulled?

Jeremy Guthrie getting crushed by the Red Sox split-squad lineup

Seems like AJ has popped up a ton of pitches to the left side of late.

Nicely done PK!

Wow, these umpires are pathetic tonight. The 2nd base ump was going to call Wise out on the steal attempt as well.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 11:35 PM) Ok, Hawk. You know me, I'm the ultimate Sox homer

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 11:34 PM) No there isn't The 2nd pitch to Wise was not a strike for Q

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 11:32 PM) Fatigue, and it didn't take a genius to figure out him struggling with innings in the danger zone now. Seems the sox have been more careful with Sale than Q. Gotta get him some more time to rest as well. Totally agree, but what do they do with him the rest of the way?

Great, two different zones

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 11:31 PM) Finally. 42 pitches. Still a game...for now. Audition time to replace Floyd/Quintana in the rotation for Humber and Hector. Floyd better not lay another egg tomorrow. I'd be stunned if they replace Floyd in the rotation this year. I don't want them to, as I don't think Santiago/Humber can give consistent innings the rest of the year. I'd rather take my chances on Floyd getting hot.

PULL HIM

What happened to his good change-up from earlier in the year? Everything seems 88 mph or faster now.

Gotta get Santiago up in the pen. Awful, awful start so far. Our pitchers sure like giving up runs in the first inning of late.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 11:17 PM) Hawk sounded legitimately pissed at the Serpent right there. Should be, what a pathetic effort by him this inning.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 11:15 PM) Nice catch, terrible throw, nice job of AJ backing the play up Rios had him at first pretty easily if he comes up throwing.

Q didn't show up to pitch at all tonight. 3-0 Mariners after 4 batters.

Q picking up where he left off in that KC game by struggling with his control. Bad vibe to this game right now.

One batter, one bad defensive play by the Sox

Please don't pitch Matt Thornton tonight

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 06:41 PM) Justin upton has been claimed by an unidentified team per baseball reference, farmio said something last night about making a move.... Hmmmmm What exactly did he say?

I read elsewhere that Reed didn't start warming up until Veal was brought into the game. If that's the case, then Ventura/Cooper should have stalled a bit before bringing in Reed.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 04:53 AM) But then that would make the argument it was actually a catch relevant again, because the out on the basepaths and the catch being the 2nd/3rd out. Didn't even pay attention to what was going on with anyone besides Wise at 2nd, though. Very smart observation by Wedge there...he never has been in that "intellectual" category of managers like Scioscia, LaRussa, Maddon, etc. If they ruled it a catch, PK would have been ruled out and Youk wouldn't have been regardless of whether or not PK passed him.
