I hate Swisher so much.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 05:08 PM) Not like Dunn is doing anything.. I would rather have our best hitters hitting back to back. or 3 and 5... You were saying ?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 04:54 PM) Gillaspie needs to be batting 4th instead of Dunn now.. Or something.. He needs a few more non-Pesky Pole HR's 1st

And Conor keeps on banging out extra base hits.

No Beckham batting 2nd or Flowers . 2 hole and catcher position already more productive.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 01:05 PM) Wisening??? You missed granite being used for granted.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 12:41 PM) When she wears it people will just think that's her last name. More likely 1st name.

This game was great for 72/3 innings . After that it SUCKED. That is all.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 06:14 PM) Conor Gillaspie is blossoming into a star, no kidding. Maybe Davidson will be trade bait then.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 06:13 PM) I didn't realize that ball hit Gomes in the face, and not off the monster. I thought it hit off the monster then ricocheted to his face .

3 AB's and no K's for Flowers. Would be crazy if he started making more contact now.

Don't see it happening . If he clears waivers then Boston can make the best deal for him right ? White Sox wouldn't be interested in picking up any of his salary except the prorated minimum so some contender will throw Boston a bone whether its salary relief or some A baller.

Where did Conor finish in the All-Star voting for 3rd base ?

I love me some Conor and Abreu. Better add Conor to the core. 2 times up no K's for Flowers . Let's see if those glasses keep working.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 01:06 PM) Why are you batting Flowers against a RHP that throws 97 mph? It's especially dumb considering there's a LHP on the mound tomorrow, so you could have given Flowers a chance at least. That would take some foresight. There is nothing but tunnel vision and repeating the same mantra over and over . " Tyler Flowers is my catcher , Tyler Flowers is my catcher". I don't think any ones said that but all the PT he gets shows me.

Hahn had a chance to get a catcher in the off season when multiple guys were available like Suzuki, Navarro, Hanigan and more if I remember right .Catchers must be treated like relief pitchers now. Looking for or spending valuable resources on them is just silly. Even in a rebuild Flowers showed who and what he was last year. I was shocked when he wasn't non-tendered. Keeping him around because the pitchers feel good throwing to him is just as silly. You don't think they'd feel just as comfortable throwing to Suzuki, Navarro or Hanigan ? The Sox would have been better off signing the best defensive catcher and living with the offense. I mean how many of the defensive catchers are as bad as Flowers offensively ? I remember a thread from last year asking to predict the 2014 lineup and I had Navarro at catcher. Live and learn Hahn. DO not spend valuable resources on trying to get a catcher. There are plenty of other problem areas.

Good 2 out hitting by Beckham and the old guy.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 07:07 PM) Hopefully he is healthy enough to be the cabana boy for our home run hitters This comment is a direct result of a comment I made about Sierra being Abreu's cabana boy. Nice to see I'm a good influence

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 06:55 PM) Good job Bellisario. Was worried with him pitching another inning.. Surkamp for Holt and then in comes Petricka He went 3 innings in that 14 inning game recently.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 06:49 PM) Sure seemed like the obvious choice there Has Dunn ever been pinch hit for in his entire Sox career ?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 06:41 PM) Seems like a missed chance to use PK. Dunn has no chance vs Miller. Most lefties don't . LH's batting .167 against him. He must have Joyce umpiring for him often.

That was a generous strike call . Way off the plate.

Gillaspie 3/3. Last time he played he had 2 walks and a HBP in 3 AB's so on base 6 straight times.

Dexter !!!

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 12:29 PM) I think this is an important angle for a potential Sale victory. I brought my iPad into the bathroom after my cup of coffee. I got in about 50 votes doing so. We should all use this strategy. Hi8tis where are you ? People are talking about poop .I'm voting Sale and Morneau because nice to see him doing well after concussion.
