Is Erik Johnson the #1 Sox pitching prospect along with Simon Castro?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 03:07 AM) If Olmedo could throw any harder than I can, Jake Peavy would be in line for a victory. Not having a legit back-up for 3rd base is really stupid considering Youk's nagging injuries.

Wild pitch offense please?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 03:06 AM) id rather have olmedo saenz Even after that blast?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 03:04 AM) Not really. They lost 2 of 3 against the Red Sox. They had won 5 straight home games before Indians series.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 02:01 AM) seems like peavy does just enough to lose once again Alex Gordon is the 2nd best hitter on the team, yet for some reason Ventura doesn't fear him at all.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 02:00 AM) Tigers going on quite a roll here now. Indians screwed us very bad by imploding against them. They were winning before the Indians series, so I don't think we can solely blame the Indians. They're peaking right now, just have to hope it doesn't continue for the rest of the season like it did last year.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 01:59 AM) Ventura leaving Peavy in to die... What a strategy. +10000 It's ridiculous how overused he's been. You pretty much never see a manager leave their starter in if they allow 4 hits in the 7th inning of a game.

6-3 Tigers, I hate Andy Dirks. How's he have an OPS over .900?

So is Thornton getting the game off? You would have thought Ventura would have him ready this inning.

Brutal, should have never been left in the game. 5 hits this inning. Gordon's a .255 hitter vs LHP, and .311 vs RHP. Absolutely insane to let Peavy face him.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 02:53 AM) no reason for gordon to slide there At least he kept it in the infield.

Gordon didn't have to dive on that play. Hell of a scoop by Konerko though. Ventura leaving in Peavy after giving up 4 hits in an inning.

Great throw by Viciedo, but game it tied

Sox desperately need a DP here. Royals just never go away it seems.

Get Thornton and Myers up

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 02:47 AM) Youk makes that s***. ;> What happened?

Rios is just awesome, his balance at the plate is great. Huge AB for AJ here

Way to go Dunn!! Two good at bats in a row for him.

Make contact Dunn...nice job by Alexei there

Quite the leadoff hitter we have

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 01:32 AM) By the time the ball got there he was already at home. Nothing he could do. Well yeah, cause he gave Gordon the ENTIRE plate.

Hit another homer Gordon

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 01:31 AM) What did you want him to do there? It was a good slide. **** happens. He didn't make an effort at all to block the plate or tag him. Combined with his pathetic effort last inning at getting back to 2nd, and you wonder what the hell is going on with him.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 8, 2012 -> 01:30 AM) Throw beat the runner....but AJ wasn't in a great position to make the tag, too far out in front of home plate for some reason. Well, let's just put that run on AJ, pretty much, taking one away from us and giving one to them. AJ's looked scared of a collision at the plate.
