Way to go Rios! Thanks for that run f*** Showalter

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 07:44 PM) Another out given away on the basepaths. At least Vizquel got to 2nd. Is there any advanced metric that measures outs recorded on the basepaths? Nothing for Pierre to do on that...he did the best he could.

Please get a hit with RISP today Sox!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 07:40 PM) That would be a reason why. WTF was that by Pierre anyway? Pierre always does that. He'll fake throwing to the stands, and then throw to CF.

I wonder if Showalter told Guthrie to throw at Pierre after that stunt in LF at the wall?

f***, Beckham did hurt himself on that defensive play. That would really suck for him to miss the Twins series.

Never realized that "stay in here" is Hawk's defensive version of "stretch"

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 06:27 PM) Do you guys ever get tired of being negative? Basically unbearable to read these threads every day. Its 1 damn run in the 4th inning. You think Twins fans were jumping off a ledge down 4 to the Tribe and potentially losing 2 out of the last 3 from them? 2 runs in 17 innings against the worst starting pitching staff on the planet (hyperbole yes) is worrisome. Marte blows an easy DP, and Twins have the lead.

Grind out to 2nd. No idea what Kotsay was swinging at.

Yep, Twins tied the game at 4 and about to go ahead.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 06:21 PM) What else is new. That DH with the OPS over .930 of theirs started the rally.

Twins threatening to tie the game.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 06:15 PM) This offense is so bad right now... Looks like someone forgot to tell our hitters that Guthrie throws sliders.

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 06:14 PM) His at bat near the end of game last night was terrible. He might not be seeing the ball very well right now. He just doesn't seem confident when hitting on the road. You never see those awful at bats at the Cell.

And Thome just hit a 2 run bomb....f***!

0-6 with RISP...yay!

Wow, another awful AB with RISP. Konerko just seems to have no chance against offspeed pitches these days.

Nice eye by Alex in that AB.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 06:05 PM) These balls just seem to be fluttering in the OF today. Agreed, just very strange. That Pierre ball went a lot longer than it looked like it would off the bat.

Wow, HELL of a play by Beckham!!!!!!! Hopefully he's not injured.

The bad baseball of this weekend continues. Alexei's had a very forgetful defensive series.

Wow, really Mark?

Perfect 0-2 pitch for the DP

0-4 with RISP so far today...that Pie catch was pretty damn impressive on Alexei.

Alexei really needs to stop giving up strikes by faking the bunt. That was just a terrible AB for him, as he showed no desire to hit the ball to right.
