QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 07:54 PM) Omar was clearly intimidated by Konerko's speed.

That was a rocket hit by Rios!

You don't see that too often

Youk doing what Youk does

Beckham looks like he has no confidence today

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 08:33 PM) Flowers just a out machine. They've got to replace him. Him and Lillibridge are two of the three worst active hitters (batting average) in the AL.

Nice game for Tank today

Omogrosso hangs a ton of offspeed pitches. He has a good arm, and maybe they can work on turning his fastball into a sinker?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 08:16 PM) Sox scouting the Marlins/Cardinals series... Anibal Sanchez, it would seem? I can't see Marlins trading away anyone yet.

Goal should be try to get the tying run up to the plate

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 07:15 PM) I'm more worried about Detroit now. Seems likes they're starting to play very well. 8 of 9 series after the ASB against teams over .500 at least

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 07:13 PM) We still have no idea why Castro is on the DL in the first place....and he could really benefit from some time to get comfortable in AAA, considering he got there last year and got beaten up. Yeah, he's definitely not a likely option at this time. I'd be absolutely stunned if they don't give Humber another try, and I also think we'll see Axelrod get a start after the ASB as well.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 08:10 PM) What's the latest on Danks? No one knows what's causing shoulder issues. At this point, a return in August would be a nice surprise.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 08:07 PM) There's a right hander up in the pen now. The demerol in Ventura's water must have finally worn off. That Johnson homer seemed to kill any momentum Sox had. Who knows, this might be a day where the rookie relievers pitch like rookies and we give up 20.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 07:07 PM) I never want to see another game started by Axelrod or Humber..... Who's going to be the 5th starter then?

6.59 ERA...goes to show you how awful AAA hitting is

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 08:04 PM) Hawk finally acknowledges Ventura's terrible managing today. This is worse than the Neal Cotts/Manuel disaster

Well, Humber will be back it seems.

Just awful strategy by Ventura, no excuses. Even Hawk is livid.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 06:54 PM) Precisely my point. No one in the pen is going to pitch for four days after this game. You can abuse the entire bullpen today and it won't matter. Honestly, I thought Sale should have started and gone 5 innings or so today. You could have easily pulled him two innings earlier in his last game, and then just had him miss the ASG.

Vintage bad Beckham there

Of course...back-up catcher please

Nice start, swing the bat Flowers

Big out there...time for more runs offense

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 06:47 PM) Does the entire team get cancer if the bullpen comes in or something? This is dumb. Especially with all the days off coming up.
