Sure looked that AB like Morel was dropping his hands way too much when his swing started. He had no prayer of getting on top of a fastball.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 5, 2012 -> 01:41 AM) That was just a little joke about the whole Sale situation.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 5, 2012 -> 02:40 AM) BTW, is there any team in the majors with a worse bench than ours? Other than Lillibridge's versatility and pinch-running, not much there. Fukudome's had decent ABs with minimal results.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 5, 2012 -> 02:39 AM) I'm glad you waited until the result to tell us how you felt about it. You are like, soooooo smart. I typed this before the AB "Oh boy, here comes the #1 Sox killer over the past few years. You can't let him beat you here."

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 5, 2012 -> 01:37 AM) Yes. If you have to ask, the question has already been answered. Cause honestly, it seems like 90% of the time, the pitcher is going to say he wants to stay in. I've always felt one of the reasons a manager might do that is to scapegoat the pitcher if it goes bad.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 5, 2012 -> 01:38 AM) Clearly we don't care about his health if we're letting him throw so many pitches. Why would you? Not like he's coming back next year.

Let's get an insurance run

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 5, 2012 -> 01:32 AM) It was time to shower several minutes earlier. Hopefully it won't coast the Sox a win and hopefully Robin learned something there. I've always hated when a manager asks his pitcher if he wants to stay in or come out.

Balta, is it possible to find out what Cabrera has hit against the Sox in the 7th inning and later in his career?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 5, 2012 -> 01:30 AM) We gotta agree with it. Jake f***ing Peavy won't come out. You fall for every cliche, don't you? Bulldog, grinder, etc

Wow, what a dumbass decision.

Oh boy, here comes the #1 Sox killer over the past few years. You can't let him beat you here.

Made a good pitch to get the grounder.

Starting to hang his slider

Come on Hawk

Should have been Thornton starting this inning.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 5, 2012 -> 01:14 AM) It's hard to put my finger on it like last time, but basically more scoring is needed. Rip is getting to the line but we haven't gotten anything from Deng. The guys that would pick up the slack like Korver, Brewer, Noah, others aren't doing much either. If you're relying on Brewer and Noah for scoring, then you're in trouble.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 5, 2012 -> 01:06 AM) Yeah, that bat wiggle seems to be a good timing mechanism for him +1

BECKHAM!

Morel BLASTED that one! Time for a gapper Gordon

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 5, 2012 -> 12:50 AM) Tank will take him yard Not a chance

Pretty sick numbers for Dotel this year.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 5, 2012 -> 01:39 AM) Is it true that Hawk said "It's easier to find a starter than a closer"? That statement is just wrong on so many levels. Yep, and said he's 100% behind the decision

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 5, 2012 -> 01:39 AM) Didn't they take all this into consideration before they made him a starter? Now that he's a starter, let him start. If he has to stretch the arm out a year in the minors, fine. I still say Nolan Ryan is laughing his ass off. Think his arm didn't hurt at times? Now I insist they should have re-signed Buehrle. Oh wait, the Sox are too cash-strapped to do that. Now a dominant starter is gone to the pen. Greg, this team is not a "Mark Buehrle" away from being a top team.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 5, 2012 -> 01:36 AM) Great post. Short, sweet and mocks this organization as it deserves to be mocked! Nice AB Adam. Greg, it truly sounds like it's something they decided they had to do before his elbow exploded.
