Shouldn't you IBB Valencia here?

Just watched the replay of the game. If Sox had lost that game on a Choo homer, Teahen's error would have been one of the worse Sox errors in a long time.

Wow, absolutely awful call at 2nd base on the caught stealing. How much money does Joe West's crew have on the Twins to win the ALC?

This umpiring crew is pathetic. That pitch to Avila wasn't even close. Joe West and company must really hate the Sox.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Sep 2, 2010 -> 03:35 AM) Capps is Pena with control Capps throws a 94 mph that hitters swing and miss frequently. Pena throws a 96 mph that rarely, if ever, gets a swing and miss.

How in the world did Boesch miss that 3-2 pitch?

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Sep 2, 2010 -> 02:23 AM) prolly....sherzer is looking awfully good tonight....hopefully we dont have to face him We do, Galarraga is the likely starter we'll miss.

Nyjer Morgan acting like an absolute piece of crap lately. What the hell is wrong with him?

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Sep 2, 2010 -> 02:08 AM) I am hating the bunt. Even if it was successful, it would take the bat out of the hands of Cabrera. Must be nice for the Twins to have all these new relievers to help Gardenhire more choices.

The Twins record under Gardenhire after the ASB has been insane. Tigers station just showed a graphic of it....and it was depressing.

Joe Mauer does a phenomenal job of calling pitches. Always seems to call for offspeed pitches with 3-2 counts, etc.

Miguel Cabrera looks more like Melky Cabrera in this series. Can hardly hit the ball out of the infield. The Twins are getting amazing starting pitching of late.

Way to go Sale! Proud of Ozzie for not being afraid of letting Sale close it out.

What happened on the Teahen play?

Besides for the birth of your child, there's no greater thrill than returning from a work meeting and seeing that the team you're rooting for had a huge rally.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 05:55 PM) You musta missed a many Sox vs. Twins games where the Twins used that strategy. The Twins bunted down 3 in the 6th inning?

Do you bunt here?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 05:53 PM) "But if I stay healthy at DH for a month and hit the ball a lot, I can maybe score one more contract". I was thinking that it seems almost impossible to imagine any situation in which the Sox bring back Manny. If he performs well, he'll want a hell of a lot more money than we'd want to give him. If he performs poorly, it will likely cause a lot of negative feelings in the organization and they wouldn't be interested in bringing him back.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 05:49 PM) Stiff Lower back for Garcia. Hard for him to pitch so early in the morning.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 05:48 PM) You're right...it was the 1 out that did it! Never mind he had to pitch to two of our best hitters, Rios and Konerko, and neither could do anything. Not buying your brand on this one, sorry. Our 2 best needed to get the job done and then some, neither did. Ozzie gave up 1 out (if that's what happened, Vizqul may have done that on his own), but our 2 best gave up the other 2 outs with bad at bats. We're playing for 3 runs, not one freaking run. I'd be a lot more upset with Rios and Konerko if there were 2 men on base. And it's one thing to make an out by letting the other pitcher beat you. It's another thing to literally give the opposition an out by picking up a bunted ball and throwing you out.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 05:48 PM) I'd love Jones back at the same contract. Me too, especially with a manager that would know how to use him more effectively (ie: less starts against righties)

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 06:45 PM) Rally killing retardism at it's finest. And I'm not even blaming Ozzie like some of you are already trying to do. 2 of our best hitters were up with 1 out -- then 2 outs -- then 3 ours. f*** blaming Ozzie. How about one of our 3 best hitters f***ing hit the ball out of the f***ing god damned infield. If you don't think Carrasco was able to take a big sigh of relief after getting the first out of the inning on a bunt, then you must think he has a lot more Major League experience and poise than I do.

What was Hawk's reaction to the bunt? Did he say it was a smart play when you're winning 4-1?

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 06:44 PM) The pure incompetence of Ozzie is just mind boggling. He just needs to go to the Marlins the second this season is over.

PLEASE TELL ME HE WAS BUNTING FOR A HIT? BTW, the Omar magic is dwindling. Beckham should be batting 2nd if he's healthy.
