QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 08:29 PM) I don't know Stone Pony, it looked like that ball disappeared behind the pole... Yep, it disappeared

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 07:27 PM) Good luck to any team willing to give him more than a one or two year deal with his health history. Got to pass on Jake if you are a GM unless he'll go one or two years at six mill a year. I think you'll be shocked at how much Peavy gets this offseason. If Dodgers don't get Hamels, I expect them to offer Peavy something like 3/45.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 07:17 PM) Would really prefer Omogrosso to get his chance here, don't care that it starts with ARodl Especially if they alter rotation next week and have him go on 4 days rest instead of 5

Really Ventura? No reason to keep Peavy in the game.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 07:15 PM) I don't know and doubt Flowers would be a plus offensive player if he played every day, but these swing and miss guys seem to have an even bigger problem when they don't play much. Which makes him a bad choice as a back-up catcher. You and I have been saying for a while now that AJP will be sorely missed if some people get their wish and have Flowers be the starting catcher next year.

Quite the charitable performance today.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 07:12 PM) Flowers has contributed s*** so far He's been good defensively this year. Starting him against righties is worthless though. 3-33 on the year with 16 strikeouts.

Goodness he sucks. Not a good combination when you swing and miss a lot, and you have a false sense of what the strike zone is.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 07:03 PM) It's a good, deceptive pitch. That's the only way to explain it No, those hangers aren't, Viciedo just hasn't timed it. He's thrown enough good sliders today to illustrate the difference between what it should look like and when he hangs it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 07:02 PM) I know no one will like hearing it, but this has been one heckuva pitching job by Kuroda. No one has made solid contact against him. Yeah, he didn't have much in the first inning, but since then, he's made no mistakes with his fastball at all. The mistakes he made were with his slider.

No clue how Viciedo is missing these

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 06:53 PM) I'm encouraged by Humber's quick recovery. If he can get/stay healthy and start throwing like he was, that's going to be a huge lift. We're going to take our lumps with so many rooks on the roster, but it's fun to watch. For some reason, I have a feeling (purely a guess) that KW is going to trade for a Padres reliever like Gregerson or Street.

Looking forward to seeing Omogrosso today

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 07:49 PM) Agreed. This one's not even over yet, as the Yankee pen has been awful this series. Yeah, it's really hard to be upset right now. A miracle victory on Thursday followed by a win yesterday that, if CC is healthy, is probably a guaranteed loss. Things are pretty damn good for the Sox right now.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 07:49 PM) At least Kuroda is at 96 pitches, which means if it doesn't get too out of hand, we get the yankee bullpen for 2-3 innings. Cy Wise

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 06:48 PM) Sox are getting owned by Dwayne Wise and a 37 year old junkballer. #baseballisweird That junkballer has more velocity than Peavy does

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 06:47 PM) well, we got our split. At worse...Sox match-up well tomorrow vs Hughes IF Ventura plays it correctly. Regardless, a split is great and go Orioles/Tampa

Any chance Adam Warren can pitch next inning for the Yankees?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 06:45 PM) .213 Hitless in 8 of last 12 games

Good news is it looks like KC will lose the first game of DH

Missing those pitches by a foot

Both teams should get a warning

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 06:35 PM) Let's get on the board Best chance for a big inning, IMO

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 06:34 PM) I don't think it's as bad as you think. The way it moves on screen is not necessarily indicative of how deceptive it is. I am guessing it's a pretty damn good pitch since we aren't seeing the spin on it all and many of the guys missing it are good breaking ball hitters. There is a point where too much break on a slider hurts the effectiveness since it differentiates itself from the fastball too much. Well, Hawk and Stone are saying they have no idea how the hitters are missing it either.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 06:31 PM) Wise could not play dead offensively with the Sox. He wasn't bad in 2008, and then pressed too much as leadoff hitter in 2009 and never recovered
