Viciedo will get the credit, but that play was made due to Alexei's quick cut/throw.

Great defense there!

Well, that sucked. Missed his spot like crazy

Tigers tied it, Cabrera is good

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 01:08 AM) Pirates get Wandy He'll do real well in that park

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 01:07 AM) I see you, Alexei. He's awesome, and it's amazing how much ground he covers without having to dive.

Sox getting great pitches to hit, just not able to get a hit with RISP. Viciedo really struggling at the plate right now, as he seems to be swinging harder than usual.

Nice to see Konerko turn on the inside fastball.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 12:56 AM) Greinke's pitched a good game against the Phils. Cubs taking it to the Pirates, surprisingly. That old axiom of teams with nothing to lose playing spoilers in the last 60+ games of the season. Pirates need hitting badly, yet they're about to trade for Wandy Rodriguez

I'll tell you what Stone Pony, Zack could have been a Major League SS if he wanted to. He was All-State in two states.

Here comes the "visitor in the booth" curse

Lots of weak pop ups to the right side against this junk pitcher.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 01:41 AM) For f***'s sake, Gordon. He needs to try and hook every pitch. Instead, he seems to be so late on any fastball.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 12:41 AM) Tyler Flowers, professional hitter. Gordon Beckham, professional defensive player.

Excellent AB for Flowers, hopefully his confidence continues to rise.

Nice hustle by Rios there!

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 10:17 PM) That's the most optimistic you've ever been. He looked better in the game on Sunday.

Hopefully Flowers can get into a better rhythm with more consistent at bats.

FWIW, if they do want to acquire Greinke, I'd much rather it be using Floyd and then someone like Mitchell as opposed to using Viciedo/Quintana.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 06:49 PM) Greinke will make us favs to win the Central Not if it takes Danks a month to return and the Sox have to start Humber or Axelrod another 6-10 times this year. Also, if Greinke goes out and gets hit hard tonight, you have to worry about arm fatigue.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 07:24 PM) I just read this. I would do it but I would hope Greinke could be resigned. For more than 20 million a year, no thanks

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 06:23 PM) Did anyone see video of Albert Almora's first HR in what I believe was his 1st pro game? He absolutely crushed it. Sounded like a gun going off, and although it's hard to tell, it looks like the ball may have cleared the scoreboard. Well over 400 feet. Javier Baez having a great year as well. IMO, Cubs should trade Starlin Castro for a young starting pitcher.

Can the Sox just keep Nicolino instead. I still feel like the #5 spot would be a huge hole until Danks returns.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 07:03 PM) Wait a minute, Malcolm Thomas might be good. You have people here complaining that the Bulls aren't taking chances on young players that could become key contributors for us in the long term, and at the same time people complaining that we're going after Malcolm Thomas. I'm glad they're taking a chance on a young stand out player. I saw Thomas play plenty at SDSt. If the Bulls are relying on Teague, Thomas and Butler to be key contributors, then it's going to be very ugly next year.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 03:54 PM) What would the Sox be able to offer? Would the Sox look at moving Viciedo, Floyd, and Quintana? Would that be enough? Too much? I wouldn't give up Q for him. Viciedo and Floyd and a prospect, yes. The problem is though that you have a team like the Rangers interested, and they can blow the Sox out of the water with the prospects they can give up. If the Marlins trade Hanley, then I'm sure Marlins would be interested in Olt.
