QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 09:05 PM) I don't know why anyone thought Flowers would make much contact in the major leagues. He couldn't make much in AAA. You've been saying that for 3 years, credit to you

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 09:05 PM) I have a feeling today will be the last day we see Tyler flowers Me too..amazing how the two guys in the Javy trade literally are two of the worst players in baseball this year.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 09:03 PM) Surely there is a 220 hitting, average defense catcher out there somewhere. Tyler Flowers, he isn't the answer to anything. Sox got Castro to replace Corky Miller a few years back when Corky was playing much better than Flowers has.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 09:03 PM) he didn't even foul one off. wow. I think he would strike out in batting practice with that swing.

What a terrible player. That better be his last AB of the game, and hopefully the year for the Sox. Not really sure why he started today with all the off days coming up.

Need a wild pitch here

Ugh! Gotta make contact there

Anyone up in the pen for the Sox?

Alexei!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 08:27 PM) But with Stanton out...they're very likely to be trading people by the end of July unless someone makes up for his bat. They're already the 3rd worst offense in the NL, and now they've lost their only hitter with an OPS over .800 for the next 5-6 weeks. I can't see them giving up though, regardless of whether they should or not.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 07:54 PM) Omar was clearly intimidated by Konerko's speed.

That was a rocket hit by Rios!

You don't see that too often

Youk doing what Youk does

Beckham looks like he has no confidence today

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 08:33 PM) Flowers just a out machine. They've got to replace him. Him and Lillibridge are two of the three worst active hitters (batting average) in the AL.

Nice game for Tank today

Omogrosso hangs a ton of offspeed pitches. He has a good arm, and maybe they can work on turning his fastball into a sinker?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 08:16 PM) Sox scouting the Marlins/Cardinals series... Anibal Sanchez, it would seem? I can't see Marlins trading away anyone yet.

Goal should be try to get the tying run up to the plate

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 07:15 PM) I'm more worried about Detroit now. Seems likes they're starting to play very well. 8 of 9 series after the ASB against teams over .500 at least

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 07:13 PM) We still have no idea why Castro is on the DL in the first place....and he could really benefit from some time to get comfortable in AAA, considering he got there last year and got beaten up. Yeah, he's definitely not a likely option at this time. I'd be absolutely stunned if they don't give Humber another try, and I also think we'll see Axelrod get a start after the ASB as well.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 08:10 PM) What's the latest on Danks? No one knows what's causing shoulder issues. At this point, a return in August would be a nice surprise.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 08:07 PM) There's a right hander up in the pen now. The demerol in Ventura's water must have finally worn off. That Johnson homer seemed to kill any momentum Sox had. Who knows, this might be a day where the rookie relievers pitch like rookies and we give up 20.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 07:07 PM) I never want to see another game started by Axelrod or Humber..... Who's going to be the 5th starter then?
