QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 03:48 AM) I so disagree with that. He's been a much better situational hitter this season. How many guys do we need to hit 20 or more HR on this team? I really don't miss those patented Ramirez foul ball home runs every other at bat. Yep, Alexei's overall offense has been ok due to his RISP performance this year. IMO, the two biggest keys to the offense next year are getting PK healthy and finding a 3rd baseman that can hit in the 270 range.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 04:46 AM) Beckham what are you doing? Just a ton of spin on that

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 04:43 AM) It seems like Callaspo always finds a hole against us. He's someone that I could totally see Hahn going after to play 3b for the Sox next year.

The defense continues to make stupid mistakes.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 04:39 AM) @CST_soxvan Tough, tough night for Dunn. Three strikeouts and a double play. He's 1-for-18 over last five games. He needs to keep his title alive

Way too easy there for Downs

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 04:36 AM) Re: Beckham discussion I find it interesting that when our guys slow down during the pennant run, they're all p*****s, chokers, etc. When a guy like Beckham picks up his play, it means nothing. Interesting standard to me. People are thrilled with Beckham on this site of late. He drew a walk last night, and there were a few posts saying how great he looked.

Angel Hernandez continues to suck tonight.

I wouldn't let Dunn face Downs in this inning. Put Lopez up there, and if they go to the righty, bring in Dan Johnson.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 03:28 AM) Yeah, Alexei has a terrible track record with RISP

Alexei almost got Gordon killed there.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 04:27 AM) Quality of play = not so good Defense just killing the Sox

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 04:24 AM) He froze up right after that ball was hit. If he gets a good jump, there's a chance he scores. With how we hit with RISP, you gotta take a chance sometimes. I thought he was going to score as well, but hard to be mad at that compared to some of the other base running decisions.

Shocking, not. Total collapse of late with RISP. Alexei gave himself no chance but to pull it in that AB. Completely undisciplined approach by so many hitters on the team.

Alexei swinging out of his ass again, and the team continues to fail horribly with RISP

Nice call with Wise here, even if it doesn't work out

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 03:16 AM) I can't believe that wasn't a home run. A.J. crushed that. Off the end of the bat

Better be Wise here for Tank

Nice AJP!

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 04:12 AM) If we don't win the division it's because we choked it away. The tigers suck. We just kept them in it too long by struggling against garbage and having our O go bad this week. That's not how the media will report it though (which is what I thought greg was asking about)

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 04:11 AM) Will this be big news if we blow the division after getting the lead up to 3 games or is it ho hum, the Tigers are great and finally playing to their potential? 100% the Tigers started playing to their potential will be the story.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 03:09 AM) Who should be ranked higher next week? Kansas State or Notre Dame? Kansas State has been more impressive, but they'll probably both be in the 8-9 range.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 03:07 AM) Wow, this thread is youg-ly. Anyway, I hope Rick Hahn will be allowed to do what he wants in the offseason. Well, the Sox haven't won since Hahn was "promoted", and they've also lost 4 straight since playoff tickets went on sale, I believe

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 03:04 AM) There's no way he hustled out of the box, he makes his poor speed a self fulfilling prophecy by never running hard Stop being so negative
