QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 23, 2013 -> 03:02 AM) Leaving him in... Probably because he won't be starting for a while?

The hardest hit balls of the night for the Sox have been caught

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ May 23, 2013 -> 02:46 AM) Whoever came up with those "Make an Impact" commercials needs to be taken out behind the barn Last year's were just as bad.

It's comical to me that Hawk is rooting so hard for Tigers not to beat the Indians when it's very possible it's in the best interest of the Sox to have the Indians lose for a possible WC spot.

What a bad player. Why exactly was he playing tonight?

QUOTE (Jake @ May 23, 2013 -> 02:45 AM) Damn Hector! Wonder if they'll start him next inning Based on how Ventura's managed this series, he might give him Ortiz.

Impressive rebound by Santiago after the 1st inning. 94 mph on his last pitch there.

So, what do the Sox do with Hector now?

Nice DP for the Sox

Well, that helps his pitch count.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 23, 2013 -> 02:34 AM) Drew having some problems defensively He's trying his best to help us

62 pitches for Clay already. Be great to get him out of here after 5.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 23, 2013 -> 02:30 AM) THIS IS A DISASTER!!!! Lot of pitches to put on his arm in a short span. With that said, it makes the decision to put him in the bullpen harder.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 23, 2013 -> 02:27 AM) Overmatched, yes. Just like the rest of the team. Not terrible ABs though. The rest of the team has had very good ABs tonight. Dunn has no chance against him. Seems like our hitters were told to lay off the tailback fastball.

Dunn overmatched so far tonight

We'll take it

Incredible AB by De Aza

Santiago really needs work on that change-up.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ May 23, 2013 -> 12:46 AM) Nothing you wouldn't expect, mostly cliches, we're not taking chances, it's a long season, we're going to give him some rest, better safe than sorry, etc. Still going Tuesday?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2013 -> 12:42 AM) I really doubt he is that feeble minded You think this sounds like someone who's confident? "It kind of sucks that I found out after I threw my bullpen," Santiago said. "For the most part, I think I'll be fine."

So what have the Sox said about Sale today?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 23, 2013 -> 12:41 AM) what has he done? He's got a potentially great arm. But he hasn't show the consistent ability to control it. He had some clutch relief appearances and a couple of good starts this season and now he's the golden god? I don't get it. As you said, he potentially has a great arm. That's a lot more than anyone besides E. Johnson in the farm system. He's also not been given the chance to develop as a starter.

Damn, great AB for Konerko. Sox not getting the breaks so far tonight.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 23, 2013 -> 12:34 AM) You're giving him no credit for his ability to deal with failure. Let's assume he knows how to have a bad outing and not let it give him "doubt and trepidation" Santiago's comments last night weren't exactly optimistic.
