QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 09:38 PM) I did make mention of that myself yesteray in a POST. Even the Twins announcers on the radio said they thought Danks was getting really squeezed by the umpire It was absolutely disgusting. The ump single-handedly changed the game.

That was the most confident I've seen Fields batting in a long time.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 08:36 PM) If someone told you Mauer would be 0 for with 4 strikeouts today, I wouldn't think the Sox would give up 13. Josh Fields has been located. Ozzie might want to start putting in Nix for defensive purposes at 3rd base at the end of games.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 08:36 PM) I am not cause that will just drive your baseball mind crazy. Whats done is done and trades are a roll of the dice most of the time. Don't look at Allen's OPS so far in AAA for Az

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 08:36 PM) They have a whole game left with Wainright (sp?) starting for the Cards Yes, and Cy Wells is going for the Cubs. There's just a terrible vibe to the baseball games today, so it would shock me if the Cards win tonight.

That was a pretty nice pitch by Pena there.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 08:32 PM) You know as well as I do that Getz doesn't belong at 3rd And I don't think Beckham belongs at 3rd

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 09:30 PM) He must be terrible every other game. Every time I see the guy, while not quite at Hawk's admiration level, I wish the Sox had him. Agreed, and it's not like he gets cheap hits against the Sox.

Wow Beckham...I defend him more than anyone, but it might be time to try Getz/Nix at 3rd and put him at 2nd.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 08:28 PM) It does show he has a ton of ability. He's only 23. If he ever puts it together, he's going to be a pain for years. Everytime I see him play, it seems he hits the ball extrmeely hard. Hell, he hit the ball hard against Cy Lilly this year also.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 09:27 PM) I dont think there is a player in MLB right now that I hate more than Gomez. Carlos Zambrano. At least Gomez sucks so much against other teams that he actually hurts the Twins.

The last 4 games have been extremely frustrating with our pitching staff. The ASB couldn't come at a better time.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 08:26 PM) How much different is the Sox scouting report on Gomez compared to the rest of baseball? It's the curse of Hawk's boner

Oh look, another hanging slider by Pena. He's not good

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 09:23 PM) This Tony Pena sighting has not gone well. That 88 mph slider does not seem to be a very good pitch. Seems to be up in the zone an awful lot.

Might be time to pull Poreda if you want to try and comeback in this game. He continues to remind me so much of Neal Cotts when he got called up, it's not even funny. If Poreda tried to start a game in the majors, he'd need 100 pitches to get past the 4th inning.

Damn, got a good pitch, but tried to pull it. He's been in ultra-pull mode this series.

Oh Jermaine, hit a bomb please! They're going to throw him sliders on the outside corner. He needs to drive it to right center.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 08:07 PM) How about a HBP> Damn, Pods hit that ball hard.

The ASB is coming at a good time for Pods, as he seems just a tad tired. His bat speed has been down this week, which is totally acceptable given how active he's been the last few months.

Wow, huge break there!

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 08:03 PM) nix has raked lefty's this yr though...you have to have him PH I like your thinking

That a boy Getz! He's so much better when he tries to pull the ball instead of shooting it to left.

Viciedo has had an awful month of July. I've been pretty critical of him this season (I think a lot of it had to deal with the expectations the organization had for him THIS YEAR). He needs to have a strong 2nd half for a lot of reasons.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 08:57 PM) That was the worst slide into second I have ever seen. Out of the inning. "You're gonna call that"?
