Dunn is 7-46, no homers with RISP

Hawk is going to snap one of these days if Quentin keeps popping up to the right side.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 07:12 PM) Floyd, Danks or Jackson goes to the pen. flip a coin or play rock, paper, scissors. even considering Humber to the pen is illogical as hell. I see no reason not to stick with the 6 man rotation. Moving Danks or Jackson kills their trade value. Floyd can't go to the pen because he's an important piece of the rotation in the years to come.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 05:56 PM) Eh, I've been a backer of the deal, but anytime you put someone making that kind of cash in the bullpen because they are ineffective in the role they were acquired to fill, then you have a fail. If Jackson ends up going to the pen, it's just one more piece of evidence that KW needs to be replaced.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 06:08 PM) I really don't like Gavin Floyd. I hate when he throws a lot of fastballs.

Gonna see a lot of Marquez today. Red Sox chances at scoring 10 runs today is probably 60%.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 06:00 PM) does it seem like hawk and stone are questioning the relief appearance by Gavin? They should be, as rarely does it ever work out for a team when a starter has to pitch in relief. Really disappointing effort by Gavin today.

Bad luck with Wakefield pitching and wind blowing out. That makes the knuckleball even harder to hit.

Very nice by Sale! And please Ozzie, play Lillibridge in CF tomorrow. Rios deserves to sit.

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 01:57 AM) Kenny Williams should lose his job, this is our minor league system guys. Unbelievable LOL Bruney is not "our minor league system". He's AAA fodder, and he was called up cause our pen was hurting. I could care less if we have arms in our minor league system that can help with relief.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 01:58 AM) You think that would have made a difference in his effectiveness? The 8th gave the Red Sox some life when Humber was clearly out of gas.

Sale in? Ozzie seems to be caught unprepared right now.

This is just brutal. Bruney should have been brought in to start the 8th.

They better not point to Humber and say his outing was poor

Let's get that run back. Perfect hit and run opportunity.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 12:58 AM) hell...at this point I'll take DV in LF, Lilli in Cf and Quentin in RF. why not? That would be too awesome

Hawk ripping on Rios for not trying to move the runner over. Everyone speculates Pierre would be the one to lose his job, but it seems it's almost more likely that Rios gets benched and Lillibridge becomes CF (or the dreaded Juan to CF and Viciedo to LF).

If Humber keeps pitching the way he is, I have no concerns about if he'll end up in the bullpen. It won't happen, they're not that dumb.

That was one of Beckham's best swings of the year. Got the barrel thru the zone and hit it hard to left.

Great at bats by AJ, Beckham and Alexei that inning! As for Juan...goodness he's annoying

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 31, 2011 -> 09:35 PM) This post says it all. Please make it its own thread and lock it forever. The bunt is a VALUABLE TOOL you FOOL. Sorry, couldn't resist the rhyme, didn't mean it to come out angry. I didn't know we had a starting rotation with Lincecum and Cain or a 3-4-5 with Hamilton/Vlad/Cruz

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 31, 2011 -> 03:54 PM) Bunting is an important part of a game. Sox need to get it down literally and figuratively. Ozzie is not playing dumb baseball There's no reason to be bunting before the 7th inning in the AL. Bunting at Fenway against this Boston offense so early in the game is just giving up outs and letting pitcher off the hook. Bunting before Juan Pierre is silly, as he rarely hits ball far enough for a sac fly.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 31, 2011 -> 01:35 PM) The irony is that Ozzie wasn't even the dumbest manager on the field last night. That was something, wasn't it?

Peavy with a gutsy performance, and we had three very clutch hits tonight.

QUOTE (bobryansson @ May 31, 2011 -> 02:55 AM) That shot of the W. Sox bullpen activity... I'm scared. Paniagua and Kevin Walker?
