QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 09:47 PM) Good Romero showed up too though. That's because nearly every LHP is a bad match-up for the Sox. The splits for a majority of our hitter are significantly worse against LHP.

Well, that wasn't good

QUOTE (johnnymick @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 09:29 PM) Only change ups to Paulie. Guess they know what he has trouble with. Probably the biggest reason he's hitting almost .80 points better against RHP this year.

I know it's not how they used to calculate game winning RBIs, but Youk knocking in the 3rd run ended up being the difference.

WINNER! First place at the break

Nice catch/communication out there

Don't get that pitch to Lind. He's swung and miss every offspeed pitch he's seen, it seems like.

Ugh, 2 on, no outs. Gotta throw some offspeed pitches.

Minor league update: Kale Kiser of Bristol hit a 2 out, 2 run homer to avoid Bristol getting no hit Jared Mitchell with 2 homers, 2 walks, 2 steals

Thornton doing his best Clayton Kershaw impression

AJ's calling a great game against a superior fastball hitting team.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 03:18 AM) 2.85 ERA vs. 3.59 ERA He deserves it, but I have no problem with the awesome chemistry it created within the clubhouse to go with him getting some time off.

QUOTE (G&T @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 03:19 AM) Looks like Ventura likes putting pitchers out there to get ovations. Yep, and he also likes leaving them in for the first batter of an inning in order to play match-ups.

Not terrible abuse there with him getting some time off now.

Hell of an outing by Peavy tonight, as he only allowed 2 hits after the Lind homer. His reaction on the 2-2 ball thrown to that last batter was hilarious.

27k tonight...pretty good considering the awful weather

AJP!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 01:47 AM) Wow was that ball ever kilt All those bad defensive plays, and then that.

Ventura has got to move Dunn out of the 3rd spot against LHP. He's hitting close to .150 against them this year. Dunn has K'd in 52 of 95 ABs vs LHP this year.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 01:42 AM) Yawn. Obvious. I still don't forgive you for saying Ted wasn't good

Youk!

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 01:40 AM) I'm 100% sure Youk will deliver I hope he doesn't get walked

Great job by bottom of the order. No need for ADA to be bunting here.

Haha, Alexei's dad rules

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 01:34 AM) Please do not have Alexei bunt. +1
