Time for Viciedo and Flowers to bomb away again

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 12:24 AM) Our bench has come through for us all year long. Even though people b****, guys like Danks and Hudson have won us games. Guys like Flowers and now Wise off the bench have been huge. And guys like Lillibridge and Escobar have been important trade pieces for us. I give our bench an A+ so far What?? Of late they've been great, but up until August or so, they were performing AWFUL. Hudson had a clutch hit to win a game, but he also had defensive blunders to cost us 2 or 3.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Aug 17, 2012 -> 12:13 AM) For those not watching, Flowers' HR was inches from landing in the upper deck. One of the loudest home runs I can recall

I love watching Flowers hit against soft-tossing LHP

I love watching Tank hit against soft-tossing LHP

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 11:56 PM) Damn Rios almost had that one Make it to the warning track or off the end of the bat?

Stay hot Wise. Also, it seems like a lot of damage being done against Liriano's fastball.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 11:43 PM) Nice swing Olmedo....go sit down Again, no business being in the majors. They should have had Lopez on a flight to Toronto last night and put him in the lineup if they wanted to get Beckham a breather.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 08:48 PM) The kid just has a long swing that isn't conducive to sitting for long periods of time. And he is also much better against LHP, but for some reason, seemed like he was facing a lot of RHP earlier in the year.

If you're going to play Olmedo, it should be against a RHP. His performance vs LHP in the minors this year has been awful. Besides for his inclusion, I'm fine with the rest of this lineup.

1. Thompson 2. Hawkins 3. Walker 4. Sanchez 5. Snodgress 6. Johnson 7. Castro 8. Barnum 9. Mitchell 10. Petricka 95. Molina

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 03:15 AM) Yep. At the very least he's giving you plus defense in these bigger parks. I think that alone could win the Sox a game over the next 6 weeks. Also gives you insurance if Rios' back injury flares up again

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 03:03 AM) I think he should play 1/2 the time against right-handers. I like his speed in the bigger OF's like Toronto, KC, and Detroit. It's a great problem to have if Viciedo is swinging the bat well.

Nice!!

Bad Humber on the mound. Be really nice for Reed to get the night off.

So what happened to Hudson?

Great to see him strikeout the two lefties he faced. Could be a huge weapon down the stretch.

Lost in the perfect game is that it's another loss for a WC contender!

Not only is Span a White Sox killer, but he also gets injured right before a series against the Tigers and misses the whole series.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 15, 2012 -> 05:34 AM) At some point we have to start exercising caution with the roster moves. You don't want a huge portion of the team being fluid. Lots of pieces have shuffled around this year, from the bench to some very big contributors. Weird dugout vibes can be a product of all of this type of thing. You just don't want to see Hudson possibly removed from the roster

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 15, 2012 -> 02:46 AM) You sure respond to me a lot though. I love it. Sox won, be happy

Nice to see Q get a win. Sox got lucky in this game, but we'll take it!

GAME! Great job by Reed, and we got a lot of hard hit outs right at our defender.

Missed his spots like crazy to Rasmus. Really should have attacked him with the change-up.

Use the change-up here Reed
