2 bullets dodged

They have a lefty, righty, lefty....where's Cotts?

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:15 AM) SoxTalk whipping boy Augustin Montero in. A huge spot for him to be in. I'd rather see him than Nelson, but he's being thrown into the fire.

Cotts should be in the game.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:13 AM) NOt even close if he doesn't bobble the ball and makes a good throw. It wouldn't have even required a good throw. He was playing shallow, and Crede hadn't touched 3rd base. Dare I say that Pods could have thrown him out?

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:12 AM) Contreras is in line for the win and pitched his ass off today, has a Quality Start and only allowed two earned runs. He wasn't "killed" in any sense of the term. When great pitchers allow 3 runs in a game, and 2 are from walks, and the other was on a solo homer....you can say that's what killed his performance. If Pedro allowed 3 runs, and 2 of them were from walks, he'd say that his controlled let him down.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:11 AM) Was crede dead if the lf doesn't bobble ball? Not even close

Who comes in next inning? Cotts? Cora would have been out by 40 feet if Gomez fielded that.

MRS. URIBE....YES!

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:08 AM) Yes he did, he induced the ground ball. The guy wouldn't have scored if he wouldn't have walked him either. You know I agree with you that the walks killed Contreras tonight. It goes to show you how much he's improved since when we first got him though.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:06 AM) fathom who is better than crede with the glove. cmon. Chavez, easily. Blalock has impressed me with the glove recently.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:05 AM) I'm almost glad he threw it. I would have hated to see Guillen have an AB with the bases loaded down run. And I'm only half joking. Obviously I would take my chances with Guillen, but I wouldn't have put it past him to get a big hit. Thames scares me too right now. He's swinging the bat great. I thought he had a 2 RBI single off of the bat.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:04 AM) He's still a gold glover. Nope

QUOTE(greg775 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:03 AM) Are you really that mad at Crede or is this how these threads go every night? Crede is a god. 7 errors this year. He's on pace for about 20.

Whew....I'm thankful for that out. Our defense all year has been so unbelievably unclutch.

That was a textbook short hop that MLB players need to make. Crede got a little lazy on it....he needs to know not to throw that.

Terrible choke job by Crede.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 01:57 AM) should we take out jose now? For Montero? Not a chance in hell.

Big pitch! Contreras has his work cut out for him here.

Should have thrown the forkball on 1-2

I hope Crede's guarding the line. If Contreras throws that inside fastball, he's going to pull it down the line.

I hope the Tigers just do a straight steal, as Polanco is a great guy to do a hit-and-run with.

We've got to stop walking guys, especially in the last few innings of a game. Granderson's going to be at 2nd base soon.

That 1-0 pitch has been a strike all game.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 01:40 AM) Thome doesn't look too good since he came back. And yes, I can honestly say I was going for the reverse jinx!!!
