Big opportunity here for AJP. Johnson has a super sinker, so he needs to avoid the DP!

Who says Morel can't create offense!

Crain has been brutal last 10 days or so. Good thing we use Frasor so infrequently. BTW, Hardy is a notorious high fastball hitter.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 12:56 AM) Josh Bell.....my assumption is there is no advance scouting on him How do players that the Sox have never faced seem to kill them whether a pitcher or a hitter. Sox pitchers have dominated the Rockford-native in the past.

And just like that, Baltimore's back in the game. You can't let some terrible player like Josh Bell hurt you.

Orioles fans need to start booing our players, cause then they wouldn't perform well!

Who the hell is this team?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 01:48 PM) Not if they brought in accomplished players to try and compete. With the prospects they have, they could have outbid most for the big names out there. They could have brought in most of the top names available on the market, and they still would have been behind Milwaukee. The funny thing is that the Pirates pitching is what has killed them the last two weeks, and that was one spot where they weren't going to try and upgrade.

Really great to see Rios drive the ball the last two games!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 08:59 PM) Sounds like Konerko is genuinely concerned about his left knee. I missed it, what were they talking about with regards to this?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 07:53 PM) Push Peavy as long as he can go, there's nothing wrong with that...you just have to have someone close to ready in the bullpen so that if he gets in trouble, you can pull him before it totally implodes. If he can go 8, great, but don't lose the game trying to make him go 7. I'd give him one more inning, and then let the pen close it out.

That was nice and quick!

Beckham is at .171 against LHP now

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 07:37 PM) Just checked the Twins schedule this week. Three more home vs Boston, and then they go to Cleveland next weekend. It would have been cool if Thome hit 600 in Cleveland if their fans didn't suck so much. Classless trash in that city. I'd rather see the 600 in Cleveland. Interesting dynamic it would create.

Peavy looks really good today. I hope we're smart with his pitch count though. And after watching my DVR of Stewart last night, I was pretty impressed. Good sinkage on his fastball, and he made Mauer look silly on that 94 mph fastball.

Non-Sox, but anyone think the Reds fire Dusty after this year?

Beckham looks putrid against LHP

OZZIEBALL! What an idiot

STOP BUNTING!

Great, confident swing by Rios!

Making this park look small!

Haha, Ozzieball!

When Flowers makes contact, he looks so fluid

Lillibomb!

Rios has no prayer against that pitch on the outside corner. He can only flip it to right field instead of actually driving the pitch.
