QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 01:27 PM) Take a breath and ask yourself, does that one AB do anything to damage Peavy's trade value? That is not even close to being the point. Peavy gets hurt then what ? Already missing out on Crain . You'd be looking at a disaster of major proportions.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 01:30 PM) Not to mention this outing for a guy like LIndstrom could be big too. Peavy is not the only guy we are trying to showcase. Lindstrom could've started the inning come on now.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 01:26 PM) Stupid organization. Top to bottom. I hope Ventura lost some people today. Someone from the front office should've been on the phone saying take him out now . Leaving it in the hands of Ventura very bad.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 01:26 PM) What a dumbass And you all see now why I reopened the " Make a case for a new manager" thread.

PV out there WTF.

If PV is out there to start the 8th the Sox are nuts.

Lindstrom warming now.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 01:05 PM) So it's a lot like Soxtalk. Soxtalk wouldn't assume we're making the playoffs in the same situation.

OH T FLOW !

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 12:52 PM) He hasn't done anything worthy of a standing O. He had barely 1 good season for us, and that season didn't even get a playoff birth. So we won't be seeing you in the PV appreciation thread unless you 're playing devil's advocate.

Peavy probably comes out for the 6th and Robin pulls him so he can get an ovation from the crowd at some point ? Or Robin ignores everything and treats it like a normal game ?

Ok PV no Tim Hudson and get out of there.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 12:36 PM) Good job by AR Both of them !

Alexei upping that value too, hits, RBI's stolen base.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 12:00 PM) His name is Rios and he dances on Verland I like it .

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 11:49 AM) I don't think contact is too much to ask from a major leaguer. Strikeouts are at an all time high in MLB. Last year 36,426 K's .

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 11:39 AM) The way this season is going, he'll probably have a 2 hitter with 2 outs in the 6th, someone will hit a weak chopper to first and Peavy will sprain his ankle covering first. Although, if they are intending to compete next year, I'd rather they keep him. It does seem like they are going to trade him so maximize that value. Yea if all these teams are soooo reluctant to pay an extra year on a contract that is beyond reasonable for what Peavy gives (which I don't beleive for a second ) then f*** 'em.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 11:39 AM) Disagree. Just leave him on a pitch count, no more than 105. If he leaves after 6 at only 80 pitches, scouts wouldn't like that. At that point thats enough for the scouts you remove him and expose him to as little risk as possible.

If Peavy pitches well get him out after 5 or 6 innings max.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 11:30 AM) Anyone else having a hard time getting Soxtalk to load? I was seems to be better now. I saw that ball get by Hunter and I thought don't send Paulie it'll be ugly.

We've all heard in the past that Peavy is not a big game pitcher. This is no doubt a big game. Not only can he prove he is a stopper but can pitch with the pressure on. This is a big start for the future of the franchise.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 09:24 AM) Way to be creative with that lineup Robin. Keppinger has proven all year that he is a mighty bat.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 09:25 PM) This is what flavum was referring to in the game thread http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,4523119.story That doesn't even phase me . I'm more concerned with his actions than his words and he's not showing me any creative thinking, or playing hot streaks and tendencies or even trying to make it more fun. He's making it a grind.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 09:10 PM) Assuming we have Lexi and Beckham next year that would be an awfully weak hitting infield sans Dunn/1B/DH brought in next year. Maybe all the years of the Sox being in the top 5 in HRs has spoiled me into wanting more power. Can't blame you for that when you factor in what we had last year with Viciedo ,Konerko, Youk , Beckham , & AJ . Injuries ,old age, bad years and losing AJ and Youk = loads of lost power.

Ok so I'm digging this out of the mothballs. Am I the only one sick of seeing Keppinger bat 6th ? The season is lost . Keppinger is old and a utility guy , hardly ever hits anything in the gaps with power etc etc for his lack of power. I do not understand DeAza at this point not being in the middle of the lineup when he's red hot , or even Tank who hits Detroit well and Phegley for that matter who hits doubles and HR's. Yes I'm tired of the Sox losing and waiting for trades to start. What is the harm in playing with the lineup and putting guys who are supposedly the future in the hot seat and seeing how they respond.
