QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 06:54 PM) Miggy is pretty good. He's amazing. Their 3/4 hitters are ridiculous now.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 05:52 PM) What's the point of trading someone who has negligible trade value? Do you want to start Tyler Kuhn or Escobar there? Bring back Lillibridge and start him at 2B? How do you know Beckham has no trade value?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 05:51 PM) Did you change it to sort by ERA or something? By WAR, he is 26th on that list. Yeah, going by ERA. I've never used WAR for anything.

Something that has killed the team since the ASB is scoring late in games. Since the KC game right after the ASB, the Sox haven't scored a run from the 7th inning on.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 06:49 PM) Beckham is a bust. I think it's pretty safe to say that. Nothing but a glove. Utility player is all he is. Some team will think they can change him this offseason.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 05:46 PM) Almost all of them..... http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=...0&sort=18,a And I did that w/ a minimum of 120 IP, which actually puts Humber at a disadvantage on that list because he is at 123, while a bunch of other guys on the list are at 170 innings+ Am I missing a page? I see Humber 4th on this list.

Youk getting destroyed by offspeed pitches of late.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 05:44 PM) Probably because he won't be able to stand by late August if Ventura keeps playing him at this pace. Then you play Flowers tomorrow against the LHP.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 05:43 PM) But that was the tipping point. There's no way we would be in the process of getting swept now had they won that game. Friday, yeah...but not Saturday and Sunday, and not with Sale. You have no way of knowing this. Even if they won Thursday's game, it was a showdown this weekend of a hot hitting team and a cold hitting team. Also, Porcello has pitched better vs the Sox this year than anyone else.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 06:42 PM) No, sorry, I edited it. There have been 25 worse than him dating back 1 calender year. And how many are still pitching?

Can someone trade for Liriano tonight so Sox don't have to face him tomorrow?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 05:38 PM) I don't think anyone would expect them to beat the Angels or Rangers in the Wild Card game. Let's just face it, the Tigers are better, especially with the injury to Danks and the rookies filling up the pen. We will forever be haunted by Escobar, Thornton and Reed from Thursday night's game...and Ventura's inexperience. Sorry, but the team was struggling before that choke job and the Tigers were playing their best baseball of the year.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 05:37 PM) They will be adding a starting pitcher before the deadline. Yep, sounds like they're aiming high.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 05:37 PM) There have actually been 22 worse starting pitchers this season than Humber. Dating back to last year's ASB?

Turner has one good start this year, one bad start. It's not like he's had a 6 ERA for the entire season. Of course he had no issues with the 7/8/9 of the Sox lineup today, which is about AAA caliber.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 05:34 PM) Why? The last time I checked, the pitcher doesn't hit in the AL. This team can't score runs. Why trade for pitching when they get zero support. This team needs a firesale. Stop with the fire sale comments please, it would just destroy this franchise and outside of Peavy, it's not like there's anyone on the team that has trade value who would be dealt.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 05:32 PM) Trade for a SP. They have nothing to lose, this team isn't going to be very good next year if they don't at least make it to the ALCS this year. Unless the offense magically reappears, adding one starting pitcher isn't going to lead the way to the promise land. Also, there is absolutely no way for you to predict how the team will be next season.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 06:30 PM) It was nice of Humber to make the trip I wonder if he'll use the elbow excuse again to explain his suckiness this season? He's literally been one of the worst pitchers in baseball over the last year.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 06:28 PM) Danks needs to come back fast. If they continue to falter, I have no problem with them shutting him down.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 06:27 PM) Humber experiment needs to come to a end. With his next start coming in Texas, we might be seeing the end of the Humber era next weekend.

The handling of the rotation sure has back-fired the last few weeks. I swear Austin Jackson should be AL Central MVP

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 06:14 PM) Thank god. Should be 2-0 right now but whatever... How so?

Stupid to have Flowers play today when Sox face a LHP tomorrow

QUOTE (scenario @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 04:21 AM) Paulie was 5-12 with 3BBs and only 1K in the Boston series. The problem is he's taking swings that would make Morel proud. The Sox don't need a #4 hitter who can occasionally flare a cheap single to right field.

I liked the movie, but I was shocked at how little "Batman" was involved in this movie. As usual, JGL was awesome.
