Starting Dana Eveland didn't exactly work out for the Orioles vs the Indians. 9 base runners allowed in 3.2 innings. Indians up 5-1 Update: 8-4 in the 5th, as some terrible pitching taking place

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 09:27 PM) Indians score 1 in the 1st inning. Could have been worse. Strand 3. Run scored cause Lopez hit a weak grounder that hit 3rd base and bounced away. Next week, Indians gets Angels and Tampa while Tigers get Twins and Royals.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:37 PM) 8 times shut out this year. Mercy. The Sox offense really is all or nothing these days. The only starting pitchers that the Sox have hit well, since returning from the Dodgers series, have been some of the worst starters in baseball: - Randy Wells - Randy Wolf - Nick Blackburn - Adam Warren The offense needs to start picking it up against solid starting pitchers, and getting some early runs would really help. As I noted earlier, 14 straight games with no runs in the first for the offense.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:36 PM) Shutout again getting old. 1 run or less in a game for 7 straight series, I believe.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:35 PM) Should be interesting to see who signs him. Boston or New York. New York would be nuts to sign him with that short porch in RF. I still think the Dodgers makes a ton of sense.

PK must have thought it was a 1 run game. That's his third game-ending double play this month.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:33 PM) If the White Sox win the division, I'm quite sure Kenny will bring back Peavy Heck no, not for the option he has next year.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:32 PM) Do you remember how much time he's missed? And everything that people said would occur has. Struggled last year to build up his arm strength, and he's been great this year.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:32 PM) You got one of them fancy TV rewind things? Because I do not, and I am very surprised they didn't review that. Went back and looked after your post, and it pretty clearly disappears behind the pole

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:29 PM) I don't know Stone Pony, it looked like that ball disappeared behind the pole... Yep, it disappeared

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 07:27 PM) Good luck to any team willing to give him more than a one or two year deal with his health history. Got to pass on Jake if you are a GM unless he'll go one or two years at six mill a year. I think you'll be shocked at how much Peavy gets this offseason. If Dodgers don't get Hamels, I expect them to offer Peavy something like 3/45.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 07:17 PM) Would really prefer Omogrosso to get his chance here, don't care that it starts with ARodl Especially if they alter rotation next week and have him go on 4 days rest instead of 5

Really Ventura? No reason to keep Peavy in the game.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 07:15 PM) I don't know and doubt Flowers would be a plus offensive player if he played every day, but these swing and miss guys seem to have an even bigger problem when they don't play much. Which makes him a bad choice as a back-up catcher. You and I have been saying for a while now that AJP will be sorely missed if some people get their wish and have Flowers be the starting catcher next year.

Quite the charitable performance today.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 07:12 PM) Flowers has contributed s*** so far He's been good defensively this year. Starting him against righties is worthless though. 3-33 on the year with 16 strikeouts.

Goodness he sucks. Not a good combination when you swing and miss a lot, and you have a false sense of what the strike zone is.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 07:03 PM) It's a good, deceptive pitch. That's the only way to explain it No, those hangers aren't, Viciedo just hasn't timed it. He's thrown enough good sliders today to illustrate the difference between what it should look like and when he hangs it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 07:02 PM) I know no one will like hearing it, but this has been one heckuva pitching job by Kuroda. No one has made solid contact against him. Yeah, he didn't have much in the first inning, but since then, he's made no mistakes with his fastball at all. The mistakes he made were with his slider.

No clue how Viciedo is missing these

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 06:53 PM) I'm encouraged by Humber's quick recovery. If he can get/stay healthy and start throwing like he was, that's going to be a huge lift. We're going to take our lumps with so many rooks on the roster, but it's fun to watch. For some reason, I have a feeling (purely a guess) that KW is going to trade for a Padres reliever like Gregerson or Street.

Looking forward to seeing Omogrosso today

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 07:49 PM) Agreed. This one's not even over yet, as the Yankee pen has been awful this series. Yeah, it's really hard to be upset right now. A miracle victory on Thursday followed by a win yesterday that, if CC is healthy, is probably a guaranteed loss. Things are pretty damn good for the Sox right now.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 07:49 PM) At least Kuroda is at 96 pitches, which means if it doesn't get too out of hand, we get the yankee bullpen for 2-3 innings. Cy Wise

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 06:48 PM) Sox are getting owned by Dwayne Wise and a 37 year old junkballer. #baseballisweird That junkballer has more velocity than Peavy does
