Way to carry us Adam!

It seems like Boesch is starting to get it going finally. It's amazing how bad Raburn's been this year.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 06:56 PM) That's probably gonna be a rough series for us, you would think, with Axelrod and Humber pitching. You mean you don't like the possibility of facing a healthy Red Sox lineup with Axelrod, Humber, Quintana and possibly someone like Leesman? Hopefully Floyd's ok and we the offense can carry the Sox.

Leadoff homer for Austin Jackson with Verlander pitching

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 05:29 PM) 122 pitches for Floyd against the Yankees, look at Peavy's pitch count and tell me they aren't pushing their starters. I agree with you on this. Last night was just stupid.

KW has no choice but to be overly aggressive in acquiring a starting pitcher now. These injuries are getting ridiculous.

Coming into tonight, 123 of the 168 change-ups that Fernando Rodney has thrown have been strikes.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 03:08 AM) Only positive is that Cleveland and Detroit lost. Oh well let's go for the series win with Sale on the mound tmr. Agreed, could have been much worse if not for the miracle win last night. Sox have to get Peavy and Konerko righted for the 2nd half of the year.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 01:57 AM) It all pretty much came down to the decision of sacfrice bunting Beckham over, when has that ever worked out in our favour? You knew Dunn would be coming up and Konerko, who has been one of the worst players in the league that past month and a half, so why bunt. +100000000000000000000000000 Bunting there did nothing but play right into KC's hands. Also, with how shaky our pitching is right now, playing for one run in the 7th inning seemed too conservative, and ADA has swung the bat well tonight and had a huge hole between 1st and 2nd.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 02:53 AM) Well with Butler and Francour coming up you really don't want to go out with a lefty on the mound, who else could u really trust in a 1 run ball game. Jones is pretty much the only option. The starting pitcher was clearly gassed, as he was lucky to survive the 6th and then gave up the homer in the 7th. Not only that, but Billy Butler owns Peavy. Let Omogrosso start the inning.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 02:51 AM) I'm telling you WHY they let him pitch so long compared to other starters. You don't agree there's a different standard? Managers can't get the ball from him. Not saying I agree with it all the time tho. If a manager is scared to take the ball from a pitcher, then that manager should not have a job.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 02:49 AM) Someone wake up Ventura. When's he returning from the All-Star Break?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 02:48 AM) Like Lefebre just said you need to wrestle Jake to get the ball out of his hands. It's a different standard when he's on the mound. That's just so stupid...you really fall for the "grinder" lines, don't you?

Pathetic decision making by the coaching staff. Most hits on the season allowed by Peavy.

Come on, get him out of there. Sox are going to need Peavy during the 2nd half, and having him go 120 pitches in starts is just asking him to wear down.

Amazing how many hangers KC has gotten away with

AJ better be batting for Flowers

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 02:35 AM) this loss is all on jake! He's giving up a lot of homers on fastballs of late.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 02:35 AM) Damn. Was hoping to pick up a game tonight. Theres always some f***er on KC who kills us, year in year out. Hollands going to tough to score on We can get to Broxton again

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 01:31 AM) I thought Bill James wrote that it matters not who hits third, fourth or fifth. he's still gonna come up with men on base in theory. There's also no reason for him to be getting more at bats than Rios.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 01:28 AM) What difference would that make? We still need Paulie to hit to win games. Cause he sucks right now greg, and is killing this team in RBI situations. Something is obviously wrong with him, and his season's stats are in a free fall.

Way to keep throwing him fastballs...terrible

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 01:24 AM) Our 7 and 8 hole regulars now each have more steaks. Something's gotta give. Put Rios 3rd, Dunn 4th, PK 5th, AJ 6th

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 01:23 AM) PK it's been a longtime since you drove in a big run. 3 RBI in last 18 games

And that's why you don't bun and take the bat out of Youk's hands and have Dunn face a LHP.
