Putz instead of Thornton in the 7th

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 02:39 AM) I was talking about this earlier. Having A.J. and Kotsay back to back makes it extremely easy for Gardenhire to bring in a lefty and retire these two. You called that

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 02:38 AM) You cant do a double switch where CQ moves to DH and Jones is put in rf? No

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 02:38 AM) Don't see why you wouldn't pinch hit Viciedo for Kotsay here unless you're saving him for men on base. It's Kotsay. Ozzie almost never PH for him.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 02:37 AM) Well id have ph with Jones here and then moved CQ to DH after this inning. You can't do that, you'd lose the DH spot.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 02:37 AM) According to Hawk, battling is in Danks' DNA. Ha. Shaving and public speaking are not

Where's Dayan? Seems like the perfect opportunity.

Wow Danks, GUTSY! Ha, if the scorer was accurate, should be 0 earned runs.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 02:32 AM) I ask this question not knowing the answer, but when was the last time Thornton appeared in the 6th inning? Quite a few times this season. If Mauer comes up, that means at least 2 guys reached this inning, making his AB very important.

Wow, why does Punto have the smallest zone tonight of anyone?

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 03:30 AM) Do you really want Thornton facing Mauer in the 6th? absolutely

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 03:28 AM) Danks almost @ 100 pitches. Let's hope he can get out of the 6 with no damage done. Get Thornton up to face Mauer

Yay for 3 free outs.

Time for a CQ homer

Not a strike

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 02:24 AM) Because he clearly isnt cutting it this season offensively and Flowers might not hit for avg. but he at least will walk and hit for some power. Id love AJ if he would agree to be backup, maybe still get 2ish games a week. I don't mean this in a negative way, but if he's on the roster, there's not a chance in hell that Ozzie wouldn't play AJP at least half the time, if not more.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 03:21 AM) AJ is AJ. You have to take the good with the bad, and Since 05, Good > > > Bad. I for one hope that AJ sticks around for another year, maybe splitting time between C/1B and DH. Why would you do that, as you'd be pretty an extremely below average bat at 1b and DH. AJP's only value is that he's a durable catcher.

Thome looks really good at the plate. Great inning for Danks!

Danks is getting some swings and misses.

Get us back in the dugout up 2 Danks (hey, it worked in the 1st)

FANTASTIC base running by Beckham.

Please don't hit into a DP Juan, as badger would deservedly get to punch me in the face.

Hell of an AB by Beckham. A month ago, he strikes out 4 times during that AB.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 02:04 AM) Hah, no, that is what I call the collective group of you in the game thread. The pregnant woman. Ugh, can't I have a 3 hour vacation?

How come I feel like AJP is going to make a boneheaded play?
