Santiago looking great

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 01:27 AM) Not much you can do when all of your good hitters don't get the hit you need Break them up in the order. Rios should be hitting 3rd.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 01:25 AM) Again Sox think more than 1 run is a sin. If they don't score next inning, that will be 1 run or less in 7 of their last 15 games. It would also be their 7th straight series where there was a game they scored 1 or fewer runs.

Swing the bat. He's been just awful in the clutch of late. Really not a surprise the offense was better with him and Viciedo on the bench yesterday.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 02:16 AM) Blah, gotta protect in that situation. Dunn has a very little chance to hurt Logan here. Logan got away with two terrible pitches in that AB. Flip one over the RF stands, PK

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 02:18 AM) With his set up, I don't know how he'd ever hit that pitch I'm sure Yanks have a great scouting report on him

Blah, gotta protect in that situation. Dunn has a very little chance to hurt Logan here.

I like this ADA

Wow, that was beautiful! Hell of a performance by Axelrod. Make him the winner

Darn, Indians are going to win.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 01:03 AM) Trying to pull the ball is the reason he was in a 2 year slump. The good Gordon goes the other way and does so frequently Not the way he's currently swinging, where he's not getting his arms extended and guiding the ball to right. He's barely hit any balls to left field of late. When he went on the tear a month ago, he was driving the ball to left.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 12:58 AM) Yep - he's such a headcase, and our staff should know that. He's been feeling for the ball all week, taking that weak, sweeping swing that he takes when he sucks a lot. Yep, needs to go back to trying to pull the ball.

Viciedo had 16 hits in the last 7 days of May. He has 11 hits in all of June.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 12:55 AM) Frankly, no. His job ought to be to play out of it. When you have so many others struggling, I disagree. If this way a month ago when half the team was on fire, then by all means, let him hit out of it. I'm not suggesting a platoon, but maybe 2 starts a week for Danks.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 12:55 AM) offensive woes continue. damn. Beckham with no hits in 3 games after the lineup change was very predictable, despite Youkilis being the right choice to hit 2nd.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 12:53 AM) Viciedo has been very meh lately. I'd really like to see them give Danks some of his ABs against righties until he shows signs of snapping out of this terrible June slump

Where's Blackburn when you need him?

Great inning by Axelrod. Pitched well enough to win, which is all you can ask for.

The pout brothers at it that inning...frustrating to see

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 12:39 AM) ADA didn't make the play, but let's not act like he did poorly. A perfect jump was the only reason he even got there. He dropped a ball that he catches 9 out of 10 times. To win a match-up like the one tonight, you can't give the opposition free runs.

Goodness, they're all over him right now. ADA defense likely going to cost the Sox big time.

Axelrod getting hit extremely hard the third time these hitters see him

Terrible pitch to ARod, and then ADA gives them the run back.

ADA bomb!

This is getting ridiculous
