QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 04:01 PM) Play at home is pathetic ALL year................anyone that thinks this is good baseball is nuts. Sox are now 16-18 at home on the year. 16 wins, 2 games below .500...that's just godawful baseball. Unforgivable.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 04:00 PM) I'm dissapointed in the series but it's funny seeing posts stating how do we lose a series to the Astros.......you are going to lose series to teams worse than you and win series vs teams better than you it is only 3 games. Welcome to this board. The only way to be cool when the team has a couple bad games is to be more obscenely negative than everyone else on the board.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 03:59 PM) The person I'm most upset with is Mark Parent, if he does indeed call all the pitches. Sequences are bad, pitch variety is bad, everything. Makes it harder to be a pitcher. We don't have one pitcher that will use his changeup against a same-handed batter, which is really, really stupid. I have no clue why it would be "Mark Parent" calling all the pitches.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 03:56 PM) How can we lose a home series to these assholes? It's baseball?

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 03:54 PM) Good to see Soxtalk retaining its sanity You were expecting any less? I'm surprised no on ehas called for Jones to be DFA'd yet.

Time for Humber to depart.

461 feet. And believable.

No, good original call but worth looking at

Jesus. I didn't know a ball could get to that spot.

Humber looked better against Bogasevic than the results were. now pitching from the stretch, that's worrisome.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 03:11 PM) Tank just can't hit a fastball and he can't lay off of them either (especially inside) Give him time. "Streakiness" was entirely reasonable. He's still hitting better than I expected him to be.

Nice work Alexei.

Man, 8 K's through 4. Suddenly Philip on a roll.

Big props to Orlando on getting that bunt down, btw. 2 runs thanks to it.

And the defense helps us out again.

Awesomelejandro.

At least he got it on the ground.

Well that was a crappy looking bunt attempt.

Nice at bat by Tyler, even if he didn't swing much.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 02:49 PM) If Harrell shuts down the Sox, the official slump is on We scored 10 yesterday.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 02:47 PM) Yeah.... And that ruins the angle of the pitch for the viewer...it's terrible I wasn't used to it as first but now it doesn't bother me as much.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 02:39 PM) What were they thinking when they built the camera wells for the home plate shots in Target Field? Most of the camera wells are offset to the right of the pitcher (left field) by a little ways. At Target Field, they centered it. But, you can't Center it without having the pitcher's head between the camera and the plate, so they had to elevate it a little bit.

That was one impressive 94 mph sinker to strike out Rios.

CRUD

Whatever Stoney is talking about with Humber being able to both "Cut as well as curve" his curveball, that is one weird pitch.
