This has been way too much fun so far tonight

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 02:18 AM) Beautiful DP. That is one thing I love about the Slayer. He is stellar defensively. Yeah, him and Alexei have been awesome defensively the last few months.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 02:15 AM) To be honest, I wonder if a change of scenery would do him good. He's made improvements from Walker, but not big enough improvements. Very heady player but mentally he is awful at the plate. I don't get it cause he made everything look so easy. Absolutely a change of scenery would do him wonders it would seem.

Trouble brewing, how about another double play?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 03:12 AM) If the Sox can make a deal with Becks, Nate Jones and whomever, I'm all for it. If I were to make a move, it would be to upgrade 2B. Not sure who is out there. Thing with Beckham is that I'd be stunned if there's not a GM out there who loved him as a prospect and think they can get the best out of him.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 03:11 AM) If Morel is 100%, I'm not opposed to seeing what Morel can do at 2B. This is obviously a ways off though, given that Morel is still down in Bristol and has a lot to show first. Morel's hitless so far, and you'd be losing a ton of range at 2nd. If the choice is Beckham or Morel at 2nd, give me Beckham.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 03:09 AM) Beckham is so bad. You have to wonder if he'll ever get the mental aspect of the game.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 03:09 AM) Beckham 3 for his last 28. YAY! Great, Thornton coming in. Three lefties coming up, of course he's coming in

3 pitches all it took! Great job by Gavin tonight of getting the big out when he needed it.

Was Konerko's single hard hit?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 01:30 AM) Dang...I didn't quite talk enough crap on Becks. It seems that he hits everything to right. Probably because his swing is too long to do anything productive down the left field lines. Never did I think I'd complain about a sox hitter who goes the other way too much. I'm the same way with Rios

Holy cow he crushed that. Liriano not fooling anyone.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 02:08 AM) Looks like the Captain is back I'll wait until he starts pulling the ball with authority.

Great approach by the hitters tonight

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 02:06 AM) Fathom, how is that for 3/4 hitters? Exactly what we need!

Ha, what a crazy sport

Nice DP!

It's clear he has no command of the fastball. Needs to start using the hook as his primary pitch.

Gavin is working soooooooo slow tonight. Looks like he's fighting his mechanics.

that was fast

Ironic that Wise got DFA'd today

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 01:49 AM) I think Floyd has a good night. Command a little off early but stuff looks good. Lots of pitches though coming off of an extended break. If anything, he's throwing too hard.

Could be much worse, nice just having the lead for an inning right now.

Huge crowd, nice to see

Gavin's not long for this game. Starting pitching continues to do a terrible job of shutting down the opposition after the offense scores.
