QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 07:08 PM) Rios has been hitting it hard by and large the past week or so. Heck, even more than that. His slugging percentage, ops, and average have been on the rise the past couple of weeks. He's also coming off a 3 hit game. I realize its sexy to hate on Rios, but unlike Dunn, he's actually coming around and also plays some good defense. To add to that, we also have no one that can take his spot.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 07:06 PM) And Viciedo takes over 2b? Come on fathom. Omar and Lillibridge split time at 2nd. Viciedo gives you some more outfield depth as well.

That pitch was basically a strike. Bad start to this inning.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 07:02 PM) Ozzie has to drop Dunn down to 7th or 8th. He's killing rallies. Dunn's going to find himself benched if he continues to struggle. I could see Beckham being sent down for Viciedo.

Wow, overmatched by an 85 mph fastball. I'm surprised fans aren't booing him louder

16,000 square foot swing!

Beautiful swing by Quentin there. Really stayed closed and hit a vicious line drive.

That pitch Beckham popped up was the same type of pitch he used to line to the right field warning track when he first came up. He is struggling to do that now with his shoulder flying out.

Same bad swings by Beckham. Was late on an 80 mph fastball and then pulls off a slider to pop it up.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 07:36 PM) Have you ever seen a fall of this magnitude by a proven player over the course of one offseason in history? I know Wite's faith has to be waning by now. Hopefully the one week benching he'll face with games at NL parks will do him well.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 07:30 PM) Dunn is so bad that when you describe him you're going to automatically sounds hyperbolic without intending to. I can K at his rate for half the price. Ozzie just needs to stop playing him against lefties. Hell, any confience he had after Friday night probably was negatively impacted after he struggled against the lefty yesterday.

Wow, he's so in-between at the plate

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 07:27 PM) That's what I recall too...not him hitting fastballs from anyone. He hit homers off of fastballs from Santana and Penny

Has Konerko done anything since he went off the juice on Friday?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 07:23 PM) Have we actually seen him be effective against guys just because they aren't throwing high heat? Ted Lilly and Fister?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 07:21 PM) Also, I have a feeling Dunn should rake on Livan today. Beckham should get some good swings today

Nice start to the inning for Juan!

We'll be in great shape against Livan if this umpire keeps up this small strike zone.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 06:44 PM) Peavy looked great out of the pen. If we have to go to a five man rotation eventually, he would be my choice for the pen I disagree, as you want him to build up his arm this season cause you'll have to rely on him to be a starter next year while Jackson will be pitching elsewhere.

I went to a game against Seattle a few weeks ago, and as soon as Dunn got two strikes, people were starting to boo him. He has no one to blame but himself.

I'll be stunned if Delmon plays another game this year.

Crap, on a plane for this game. SS2K can use it as me not being a top 5 post count poster during a win. Hell of a job by Peavy and Bruney.

Thanks maggs

Jackson probably made himself a lot of money last night. You have to think Washington is a favorite to sign him especially since they get along well with boras

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 05:12 AM) If it were a Red Sox/Yankees game, it would be in the 8th inning
