Peavy really pitching great outside of one inning today. Hopefully it doesn't cost him the game.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 01:55 AM) Hate to lose on an RBI from a rabid anti-Semite Yeah, that case sure was quieted down

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 12:51 AM) So true. Especially Beckham. I don't think he's turned and burned since 2009 He was when he was batting 2nd. He's batting .182 in the 9th spot...not exactly shocking

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 12:48 AM) crap looked like Dunn killed that. When was the last time PK turned around a good FB like he used to do all th time? Vs Samardzija? I can't remember the last time Konerko or Beckham turned on a fastball and unloaded on it.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 12:34 AM) is anyone else shocked hawk didn't give that a "stretch" He must have heard you, as that ball was 30 feet from the fence.

Youk with a brutal approach tonight.

ADA having a big game

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 01:42 AM) Everythihing is away to Cabrera. If we don't bust him in at least once in a while that's gonna be a HR to right next time and not a fly out Just watched the replays of the Tigers RBI hits from the 3rd. That was a really bad 3-2 pitch to Cabrera.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 01:39 AM) Well no one will pick up his option considering his injury history. But they might as well attempt an extension, otherwise if they don't and let him walk that pretty much assures they have no intention on winning anything next year. Or they don't know how much they can trust him to stay healthy? I think people are going to be shocked by how much Peavy gets on the open market (more than expected, IMO).

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 01:34 AM) is anyone else shocked hawk didn't give that a "stretch" I thought that was gone off the bat.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 01:34 AM) This one is over. Sox won't score again. This offense is brutal and the pitching is very suspect. Really have to think about selling some pieces. Not a chance they go into sell mode. Only chance they think about getting rid of anyone is if it's a waiver wire deal if the team falls out of contention next month. I don't think that will happen.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 01:21 AM) Verlander looks beatable tonight Uh oh

Viciedo's plate discipline is terrible right now. The difference in his K rate against RHP and LHP is amazing.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 12:24 AM) Let's face it, the offense is in a funk right now. Youkilis' heroics have masked the under-performing heart of the order not named Rios. I feel like any other night and we might well have 5 on the board right now. His curve is up in the zone. Yep, fouling off a lot of good pitches to hit

What happened on Santiago's single that didn't move the runner over?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 12:21 AM) Verlander looks beatable tonight Yep

AJP getting good pitches to hit, just can't square them up. Peavy's got to get the momentum back for the Sox.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 12:08 AM) Keep hanging breaking balls asshat. For such a good team player, I can't stand peavy He's never been known as a clutch performer.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 12:06 AM) Bah way to go peavy He's been pretty bad for a while now. You have to wonder when the insane amount of pitches he's had to throw is going to get to him

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 12:05 AM) Jake throwing a ton of pitches. Ugh Too pumped coming out of the gate?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 07:05 PM) Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS #brewers did offer Zack Greinke $100M PLUS (maybe even $112.5M). but signs say hell be free agent. I will never understand the Greinke love

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 04:23 PM) $13mill next yr, FA in 2014. Perfect acquisition, and would be affordable with Peavy's contract off the books and Floyd likely gone. I just hope the Sox are able to keep Quintana in any of these trades.

QUOTE (northside sawx @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 04:19 PM) I really don't think blaming Reed is fair. He came into a situation that was already compromised, Robin coulda brought out anyone and we were still losing the game at that point. I completely disagree. Red Sox still needed a hit in that situation to tie the game. Reed's big issue continues to be that outside of a change-up he never throws to righties, he has no pitch to change the eye level of the hitter. Everything things to be around the belt. Earlier in the year, I felt like he was utilizing the high fastball more effectively.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 04:22 AM) i dont know what to make of this team. weve seen stretches in which they can look really good but then you see the glaring weaknesses. theres a lot of holes on this team, eventually it just may be too many to overcome The injuries have caught up with the team. They've done a sensational job of overcoming adversity all year, and I'd be stunned if they didn't perform well this weekend. If they lose tomorrow, there's no reason to be panic yet. Even if Sox only win one game this weekend, they'll go home in first place.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 04:01 AM) I just looked at his splits this year, and they are very weird. Righties are only hitting .187 against him, but of the 14 hits, 5 are 2b, 6 are HRs, for a .781 OPS. (.187/.287/.493) Lefties are hitting .304, but only one HR of 17 hits, for a .775 OPS. (.304/.418/.357) My observation as to why that would be is due to his fastball. He has pretty good control of his fastball, as he throws it up and in to righties and on the outer half to lefties. Obviously, it's a lot easier for righties to pull that ball over the fence.
