I wish we had more power on our team.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:40 AM) I'd trade Beckham for Wilson Ramos at this point. That's a no doubter. Never thought I'd see the day where only reason Beckham gets playing time is for his defense.

Yuck, another unproductive game for Beckham.

That was beautiful. Take this guy to right center Gordon

That was filthy by Bruney

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 02:29 AM) This is the Lilly I remember. lol@trading CQ. This offense is bad. It won't happen unless we lose like 15 of our next 20. Even then, Atlanta likely wouldn't trade Beachy.

That has to be like 15 strike outs in his last 20 at bats against righties. If Rios is healthy, then shame on Ozzie for not using Teahen there.

There is some really bad managing in tonight's game. I am stunned that he let him bat there.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 02:25 AM) That was some vintage TCQ shooting it into RC Best swing in a while for him. I can't believe Lillibridge is batting here.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 02:17 AM) Yeah, he posted it on his twitter and facebook about a week ago, which is when it broke on Soxtalk as well. I appreciate you keeping us all up-to-date about the signings.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:17 AM) And it's not like we're facing Zach Greinke or Gil Meche when he was going good. This is a raw kid with a great arm but no idea where the ball's going who just happens to be 0-6. That's not an accident. Major league hitters make adjustments. This isn't like the beginning of the season where we were facing ace after ace. The Sox have faced some really mediocre starting pitching of late, and have very little to show for it offensively.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:12 AM) Well most teams put their best hitter in the 3 hole. Never has an "off the end of the bat" home run meant so little I guess about a player's progress. Something has got to be done about the offense. You have to score runs to win, and having an offense that struggles mightily to score more than 2 runs against a starting pitching isn't going to get it done.

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:12 AM) If this is Reinsdorf's version of "all in", I shutter to think what not being "all in" looks like.. Go check out danman's 2013 big board post

Swing the f***ing bat. That's been a strike all game.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:08 AM) Man Ozzie is an idiot! Oh wait... It's Ned Yost. I'd rather have Ozzie than him.

How is that our #2 hitter?

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:01 AM) Peavy is just flinging the ball up there. It's seriously unnatural at this point. The more fatigued he gets, or the more he tries to get on the ball, the more awkward his delivery becomes. That's not repeatability. That's dangerous. 5.2 ERA as a starter. He's not getting it done. Far and away the weak link on the staff.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:00 AM) Peavy just doesn't have it tonight. We pretty much have to accept that the Peavy on the mound tonight is who Peavy is now. With his less that plus stuff, he has to get better at throwing inside to righties.

Wow, Peavy couldn't have hung more pitches this inning if he tried. Horrible stuff by him on the mound, as even when he tried to throw harder, he only hit 92 mph. TAKE HIM OUT OZZIE

QUOTE (TomPickle @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 02:53 AM) Maybe I'm crazy, but I think Alexei makes that play. No chance

Sure seemed like we were playing Butler way too up the middle. From my recollection, when he pulls it, it's usually in that same spot.

Really tough inning coming up here for Peavy.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 02:48 AM) We're almost to the point where Brent might be better off playing in the minors everyday and getting his hitting stroke back, but we can't afford to give up his defense and pinch-running. Or you know, we can just play him against lefties. He will probably be on the bench against Chen tomorrow.

Wow, just overmatched there. Please never use this lineup again against RHP.

Just embarrassing for Lillibridge. There really needs to be some sort of roster change made to get another outfielder up with the big league team.
