Anderson looks like he might have tweaked his oblique again. Hopefully it's nothing, but he took some awkward swings/follow-through

The first time I read Tim Wheeler's scouting profile, I thought he'd be a good pick for the Sox. The recent mock draft has him falling to #32.

Richard seems to be dominating lefty hitters lately (besides Teahen).

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 30, 2009 -> 01:46 AM) This was the first chance I've had to catch Strasburg live. Dude is even better than advertised. Virginia has one of the top 5 offenses in the country and they had no chance after the second inning. Strasburg single-handedly gives the Nationals instant credibility. He could definitely pitch and more importantly be effective in the majors right now. Yeah, I was impressed by him, and then even more impressed when I learned that UVa's offense is as good as it is. He made their hitters look like high schoolers.

Give them someone like McCullough for him.

Yes, Corky is awful. He gives us nothing offensively in the games he plays in. Considering we seem to be trying to rest AJP against any LHP we face, it's important we boost our LHP offense.

QUOTE (ChiSox420* @ May 30, 2009 -> 02:48 AM) You have to look at every mistake Wise makes as an overall positive to the team, the more mistakes the less playing time I actually like Wise as a back-up outfielder. We legitimately need him on the roster right now with CQ gone.

It wouldn't be a Sox game without the Sox walking the #9 hitter.

Trying to fight the urge to complain about Anderson's at bat with runners on.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ May 30, 2009 -> 02:43 AM) Victor Martinez perhaps? David Ortiz?

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ May 30, 2009 -> 01:37 AM) I don't like Williams at all, he looks like a future 4th outfielder to me. Why's that? I haven't seen any video on him, so you might know more than I do.

PK owes Jeff Cox dinner for that RBI

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 30, 2009 -> 02:35 AM) Fields is 2/3 with 0 errors. Smartass

Beckham went 2-3 with an error tonight.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 30, 2009 -> 01:32 AM) Lexi is starting to officially swing the bat well. Is he for real? Are you for real? BTW Greg, when you see Beckham with the Sox, will you apologize for getting mad at the people who wanted the Sox to lose in 07 to get the best possible pick?

Some potential good news: assuming Cleveland's series in Minnesota doesn't get rained out next week, we're going to miss Cliff Lee next weekend.

Some really good at bats the past 4 games for the Sox.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ May 30, 2009 -> 02:23 AM) Whatever happened to Castro's rape case? Isn't it amazing how many of these incidents involving athletes seem to go away, yet UUrbina is rotting away in prison in Venezuela?

Why do the Mets want to get rid of Castro?

Nicely done PK

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 30, 2009 -> 01:09 AM) We have a pretty good infielder on his way up in AAA currently playing 3b... Yeah, in all honesty, the best chance for the Sox to have a dynamic offense is Beckham at 2b, Alexei at SS, and Fields at 3b (in the next 2-3 years)

Anyone flipping to watch Strasburg pitch on ESPN Classic? He's going to be a great pitcher, but I forgot how boring college baseball can be.

QUOTE (ChiSox420* @ May 30, 2009 -> 02:07 AM) See seems slightly faster in right, that was not the head wind run to first One thing about Dye is that his swing causes him to coil up in the batters box (especially when he pulls it). This causes him to get a terrible start out of the box.

Nice catch by Dye. It's like seeing your grandma fall and hope she doesn't break her hip.
