QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 08:29 PM) Why didn't Saladino just dive for the bag? That's what he needs to be thinking about mentally....with runners on 1st and 2nd. He took the most direct route to the runner. He would've had to go on an angle to the base and would've been late. Tough play he backed up and got an in between hop.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 01:18 PM) I can only think of a few Sox catchers to play in the all-star game AJ, Fisk a few times, and Lollar for about a decade. Bears QBs and Sox catchers are about the same. Ed Herrmann 1974

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:03 PM) Purke should have been last guy in the pen. What were they saving Ynoa for I thought Robin should have brought Jennings in instead of Albers since the 1st guy Albers faced was Bradley. Why not go for the lefty lefty match up ? Instead Albers wets the bed allowing 2 inherited runners to score and 2 of his own,Of course the Lawrie error didn't help and they gave Ramirez a hit on that. Should 've been an error all the way. A good throw gets him. The home plate ump Demuth did a decent job until Jones came in, then he started missing pitches all over the place and with Robertson too. Everybody sucked, the Sox, the Red Sox and the umps. Sox just sucked more when they had the chance to pile on runs. Maybe Shuck should've bunted the 2nd time he was up with the bases loaded and 0 outs.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 08:00 PM) But by then they'll have Morneau plus a mystery hitter in the lineup. Oy vey ! From your mouth to God's ear

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 07:58 PM) Nicely played. I'm expecting a song for each win now. I've done it for the last few winners threads . I might have missed one but I think I've done it 3 times now .I've got 5300 songs on my ipod so shouldn't be too hard to do.

Double play time.

If Ynoa comes out I'm not real sure about that with 2 guys just barely missing HR's against him last inning but Jones and Robo are spent.

Need more runs.Who the hell is going to pitch the 9th ?

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 07:04 PM) WHOOP that WHIP, I say!!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 07:04 PM) Horrible managing by Farrell. It's hard tell when you're being facetious, But I'll guess this time you are since Uehara got lit up and the blame should be on him.

So much for that .86 career WHIP. Eat s*** Uehara . Sorry have to gloat when I get the rare opportunity.

OH HELL YESS BRETTTTTTT !

Yoooo Mekkyyyyyyyyyy !

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 06:34 PM) Where are you? Nothing going on in Oak Lawn yet. Say hi to my dad .

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 06:41 PM) Indians finished home record in June 11-0 must be nice. And Royals are great at home too. Hard to compete with that unless you have a similar home record.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 06:41 PM) Anderson has no pitch recognition at all I think he's ok with that. It's knowing the strike zone that's off. This is when I wish baseball had helmet with a coach in the dugout connected to the hitter. If I could call that low splitter some how some way a coach needs to let a young hitter know.

Damn had to know that low splitter was coming since he didn't throw it at all to Anderson up to that point.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 05:54 PM) Time to tie this game up. Rodriguez hasn't gone longer than 6 1/3 yet. Yes sir.

Time to tie this game up. Rodriguez hasn't gone longer than 6 1/3 yet.

Good time for Andersons 1st steal.

OK be patient now this guy is running on empty already.

QUOTE (Insp @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 04:57 PM) Good News: Coats got his first ever MLB hit, a double, Bad News: He got it by swinging on the first pitch like an idiot. Plenty of guys gets hits on the 1st pitch. There's nothing wrong with that. Pitchers typically try to get ahead since hitters behind in the count do worse than when ahead. That's why sometimes it's a good idea to swing at the 1st pitch because often its a pitch just to get ahead in the count and the best pitch you will see.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 04:55 PM) Coats first ML hit is a double! So great to see . Get him home.
