fathom

Hell of a play by Rios out there. Sure looked like PK could have shifted his feet and caught that on the bag.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 26, 2012 -> 02:28 AM) all that's missing from this game is plastic dome and some piped-in crowd noise. And a Jose Valentin error. And a deep flyout by the Sox when the hitter is the tying run.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 26, 2012 -> 02:25 AM) the screwball looked so good early in the season; he can't throw it for a strike any more. He's thrown maybe 3 effective ones all season. He definitely has the mechanics to become a much better pitcher than what he currently is.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 26, 2012 -> 03:24 AM) Yes he does...he fastball seems to get whacked good whenever he is pitching. His fastball has the chance to be effective if he improves that offspeed pitch. He gets a lot of swings and misses on his fastball early in the count, but then struggles when he starts trying to trick hitters.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 26, 2012 -> 03:22 AM) Lucky that ball wasnt in the seats. Instead it was fouled away. He desperately needs work on his offspeed pitch. That screwball should be scrapped, and his slider needs to be worked on to go with a traditional change-up.

Will Ohman...lefties now hitting .327 against Santiago

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 26, 2012 -> 02:10 AM) Terrible Gordon You really don't want to see him go into a slump and start overthinking the lineup change.

Damn, was hoping that would hit a gap. Alexei's swinging the bat great tonight.

Hey, good eye Tank!

Bad luck that didn't bounce farther away.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 26, 2012 -> 01:57 AM) I dont think there's anything special going on in this game. The offense sucks balls, but its been sucking those balls for weeks now. We have to be able to score more than 3 runs in a game....we're a professional ball club. +1

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 26, 2012 -> 01:56 AM) Jake is pitching with the initials of AK on his glove and cap, for Padres bullpen pitching coach that passed away, maybe he's not all there mentally today but that was brutal. Still kept us in the game for 6 innings, this should be it for him. His stuff has been real crisp, just missed his location on a few pitches. He actually had better stuff tonight than he had in some of his better outings.

Double play saved him about another 10 pitches

Wow, Peavy with a defensive game that would make Clayton Richard and Julian Tavarez blush. PULL HIM!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 26, 2012 -> 01:52 AM) why do you go 3-2 to Drew Butera? He's at 105 pitches and counting

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 26, 2012 -> 01:52 AM) Dunn is 16 AB's away from the Mendoza Line. He'll get a few hits the next two games against awful RHP

Hopefully Ventura benches Dunn against CC later this week

Has Hawk complained about any umpire since the Tampa fiasco?

QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 26, 2012 -> 01:28 AM) Welp, not scoring any runs tonight unless someone hits one out. Shows you just how awful Randy Wolf was on Saturday

Looked safe on the DVR replay, but De Aza slowed down on his last step.

Absolutely terrible call at first it appears

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 26, 2012 -> 02:23 AM) I'll be honest. I'd fully support trading Dunn. I'd rather spend his money on something else. If you do that, you could keep PK in a Sox jersey for a handful of years by putting him at DH.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 26, 2012 -> 01:19 AM) A.J. is leaving, Konerko is getting old. We gotta get some young bucks for the future and we have to do it soon Says?

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 26, 2012 -> 01:15 AM) well, I know a lot more about the NBA than I do about baseball. I'm surprised people still want to keep Dunn though. He's just not a good hitter. a DH that can't hit. If he puts up good stats and we can sell high on him, why not do it? It's not like our championship window is so wide any way. At some point we're gonna have to rebuild. The exact reason why you jump at the chance to try and make the playoffs this year.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 26, 2012 -> 01:14 AM) AJ has been striking out so much more now in important situations 1 RBI in his last 11 games, and that was on a homer. It's been 12 games for him since he had an RBI on a non-homer.
