Soxfest

1-2-3 with a whimper.

6-4 Det thru 7

2 out

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 02:32 PM) Jones 9.28 ERA his last 10 innings. 19 hits, 10 walks.....29 baserunners in 10 Did not realize it was that bad.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 02:28 PM) 11 runs charged for Lester, what has happened to him He has sucked all year. Danks and Lester really have fallen of the map.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 02:28 PM) I've seen a lot of management decisions this season that could be the difference. Having Santiago close. Sticking with Morel in the 2-hole. Sticking with Morel. Period. Not letting Quintana finish a 1-0 game after 77 pitches in LA. Not adjusting the lineup when guys go cold. It's a fine line between 86 and 91 wins. And the Sox do things that hurt them because of loyalty and stubborness. Letting MT see the 9th inning EVER is at the top of the list to me.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 02:25 PM) Pushing Santiago a bit too hard when he hasn't been stretched out... He did his job............RV get another guy in.

Myers get a inning today guys?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 02:15 PM) Doesn't feel like we've out hit them today, but we have. By 3.................too bad Humber's were all Hr's

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 02:06 PM) Don't look now, but we just scored runs and didn't give up runs in the next frame. Only happens when ahead by 2 or less..............behind means nothing

Beckham fails again.

Flowers a hit mark it down.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 01:44 PM) So is reality finally setting in for this team? I've felt for weeks Detroit was going to go on a big run. If Martinez was not hurt this would of happened earlier.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 01:43 PM) Padres signed Quentin to 3 yr, 27 million dollar deal. He gets 100,000 bonus every DL stint first 2 years.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 01:38 PM) Since this thread is active, figured I'd get the most responses here: if you could amnesty one contract with the Sox right now, who would it be? Julio Cruz

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 01:33 PM) We did score 6 runs against him....how is that bad? He was terrible should of got more than 6 off him.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 01:31 PM) What difference will there be between Beckham and Hudson at 2nd. None, Hudson is as good if not better defensively at 2nd than Beckham. And both suck at offense, while Hudson has shown he has done better b4, but prolly cuz of age he sucks now. Excuses for Beckham are over time to step up or ship out.

Toronto having no problem hitting Lester without Bautista 9 runs in 2 innings..............Sox should of smoked that guy.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 01:27 PM) Youk looks awful at the plate all of a sudden. Joining the rest of the team.

ADA needs to sit a few days.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 01:03 PM) The good news is the Tigers pitcher has an ERA like Humber's. Bad news Sox lineup not in ballpark of Tigers.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 12:59 PM) I know I get myself in trouble on here for saying how good the Tigers are, but I think in 10 days, they're going to be the best team in baseball if they upgrade SP and 2B. Austin Jackson turning into a stud has made this team so much more dangerous. Do not forget add Victor Martinez back to Tiger lineup, makes Sox look AAA!

QUOTE (Caesar @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 12:47 PM) Offense is gonna get shutdown by this kid the rest of the way. Cy Turner

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 12:37 PM) as expected 1-2-3 inning Sox never have a answer to get runs back after opponent scores.

Flowers future is like my grass not so good!
