QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 31, 2009 -> 08:08 PM) Octavio Dotel is earning his paycheck this season. If the Sox are out of it come the deadline, he would be a very valuable commodity for someone.

Hell of a job Dotel!

Nice location on that fastball by Dotel.

Here comes the squeeze!

Jeff Cox should be ashamed of himself today. Two miscommunication issues for the Sox infielders, and a terrible base running adventure by Pods.

Seriously, get him the hell out of the game Ozzie!

Pull him!

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 31, 2009 -> 08:56 PM) Our left handers have been pretty good against Greinke today, with the exception of Wise that is. Getz has actually put together some decent ABs. Getz has seen 3 pitches and made 2 weak outs.

And we just gave Greinke a chance to pitch in the 7th inning.

Tigers won...2 hits for Baltimore.

That a boy Danks. Even if we don't score in top of 6th, got to make Greinke work and get him out for the 7th.

Great D by PK. Be careful with Olivo here.

Danks getting good action on his curve now.

AJP might want to stop calling for that change-up.

Danks should have a very short leash this inning.

Oh did Jeff Cox get lucky.

Very nice...hell of an effort by our hitters today.

Damn Alexei...that was a terrible AB. Of course, that foul bunt didn't help things.

The 5th inning is way too early to be bunting Ozzie!

With the way Dye and Danks looks today, you do not bunt here.

Amazing AB by Pods. Missed a homer by a foot.

Got to make Greinke throw at least 40 pitches over the next 3 innings. Can't let him get into the 8th inning today.

Jacobs might be Danks last batter of the game. It's so obvious with Danks that he's flying off the mound to his right way, way too much. He looks like Mitch Williams right now.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 31, 2009 -> 07:25 PM) Juan Pierre on July 3rd. But, now, the price will be steep. No it won't...Dodgers will still give him away for nothing if someone takes on his salary.

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 31, 2009 -> 07:21 PM) we're agreed on that front. I thought since his performance vs Boston at home last year (where he had a no-no thru 6, I believe) that Danks could become Johan-lite for the Sox. He just needs to keep his mechanics in check, and he proved last year he can do it. Put it this way: if Danks isn't an above average pitcher for the Sox over the next 3-4 years, then this team will not compete for the AL crown. He should be a 15-17 game winner every year.
