Do not bunt with Wise please

QUOTE (C_LEE45 @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 02:59 AM) LOL 0-2 pitch down the middle what a joke That's cause Addison Reed has no idea how to throw his fastball anywhere but down the plate.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 02:58 AM) Bull. This is just Humber and Veal (and Reed) just not getting their job done. You don't see other managers bringing their LOOGY in the 9th to face a switch hitter.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 02:57 AM) Jaso would have K'd on any off speed pitch He literally doubled on that same high fastball to beat us on that Saturday extra innings game.

Reed getting booed off the field. What a terrible performance by him. No focus at all, including not backing up third.

AJ's pitch calling this inning has been beyond awful. How many first pitch fastballs can we throw to their hitters? I can't believe he didn't go with the change-up to Jaso, as that's Reed's best pitch by far of late.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 02:54 AM) Good god. And this is not on Robin at all. Bull...no reason in the world to bring in Veal when he did.

Yay, more terrible defense.

Wow, you have to be kidding me. Why would you throw him 3 straight fastballs? Jaso beat Reed on that high fastball last time the Mariners were here.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 02:52 AM) I blame him for opening the 9th with Humber 100% on Ventura It was fine letting Humber start in a 5 run game. Just seemed he rushed bringing Veal in.

Whew, nice job by Wise

How is no one up in the pen?

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 02:49 AM) Go ahead blame Robin Ventura for people not doing their job. Its much easier that way. He did bring a LOOGY in to face a switch hitter

Bring in Myers...he has no idea where that fastball is going.

Reed looks horrible. Someone wasn't focused coming into the game tonight.

Jeez, Konerko looks like he was in quick sand there.

Wow, not even close. He needs to use that change-up here to the lefties. Too bad Veal wasn't saved for this spot.

You absolutely cannot walk him here

Ugh...seems like a stupid decision to bring Veal in there.

Veal brought in to face two righties. Hopefully he can prove to be more than a LOOGY

Cancel the postgame

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 02:13 AM) Rays had three chances to tie with runner on 2nd and no outs, couldn't do it against Balfour. TB and Sox would be tied at 14 games over .500, Balt and Oak at 11 over, Tigers 9, Angels 5. Hopefully sweeping the Red Sox and winning that game tonight in DET will get the Angels on another mini-run like when Trout came up...as long as they're not facing us, they can knock out the A's, too, hopefully. The A's schedule the last month of the season is incredibly difficult

As DAllen said, Greinke a great contributor to the Sox since the deadline!

Great job by Peavy of battling tonight....great effort

First 0-5 game for Trout in nearly 3 months
