QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 07:11 PM) Wouldn't that be because 7 of the 9 hitters in the everyday lineup got hot at the same time (besides Alexei and Hudson) Making pitchers have to throw strikes to our 9 hitter had to be worth something. I also think Brent's defense was about a net equal to Hudson's. Hudson's failures look a bit more spectacular but Morel wasn't making any plays at all in addition to some easy errors.

Dunn needs to recalibrate

Big Jim still doing it

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 07:01 PM) Jake praising Robin. Seemed like he was working hard not to say anything about the previous management

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 06:57 PM) I know he's not what he used to be, but better than Hudson? I think Youks corpse could be better than Hudson! DYLAN! Youk's corpse this month has not outperformed Hudson at the plate and hasn't even been playing third base defensively. QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 06:57 PM) Balta, you really think Youk wouldn't be better than Hudson? It is hard to play worse than Hudson has with the Sox I think it's possible, but I'm ready for a change. I'm guessing we may keep Hudson on as depth anyway. Also, Hudson has outplayed the hurt version of Brent Morel. The bar was unbelievably low, but he's above it

There's the pitch recognition I'm used to seeing from Lillibridge. It's okay Brent, you're a power hitter so it's okay that you strike out so much!

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 06:50 PM) Rally killed. Spoke too soon

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 06:48 PM) Alexei really only has one homer this year? When's he going to turn it around? Seems like he's slowly improving now but he's still not showing much power. He's been fairly productive RBI-wise though given his batting average and power numbers

Give him a single

There's the bunt earning you a run.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 06:43 PM) Why bunt? AJ is one of our best hitters, we need him to hit. I hate bunting. Keeps both him and Dayan out of the double play and allows PK to score on a single

I like seeing us go the other way. Soft tossers like Wolf are usually rendered ineffective by that approach

He was bound to make a bad play out there eventually, might as well be on something that you never practice

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 06:34 PM) Does Axelrod have some nice movement on his fastball, cuz Weeks and Hart have just looked at called strike for the Ks Yes he throws a nice sinker/2 seamer

wow, tough luck there

lol wtf are these guys looking at? He's not even mixing up locations

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 06:31 PM) 17th career homer. Oh the power Juan has! I wish he played third, I'd take the high average with no power

Not a real emphatic call by the umpire there

Get the married men out of the infield

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 06:26 PM) Thankfully no Hawk.. he would be spanking over how great Gomez is .... As opposed to this guy losing his mind over three plays that were made to look much harder than they were

Stockton s***s his britches on a nearly botched catch to short RF

Trade the farm for Aramis

Stockton got uncomfortably excited about a ball that had no chance

Hudson is a beast

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 06:07 PM) I just checked the DVR. "The Red Sox, well they're willing to pick up $5 million of the $8 million remaining on Youkilis's contract". Thanks for clarifying
