  1. Nicely done Alexei! Good work Beckham to slide and not kill him!
  2. QUOTE (sunofgold @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 11:52 AM) Even our relievers don't know. Is this RV keeping it a secret or KW telling RV to keep it a secret. Seems more like a KW move to me. Attempt 1: Santiago.
  3. QUOTE (cws0591 @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 10:37 PM) the negativity in this thread is unbelievable.... using too many bullpen arms. beckham swing looks like s***. morels swing looks like s***. rios is s***! if you dislike the entire team then why a fan? off the soapbox! great defense and great HR by Rios. Welcome to game threads.
  4. QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 10:38 PM) Do you get Crain up in case Santiago gets in trouble? Yes. Absolutely.
  5. QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 10:34 PM) Or the organization believes last year was Guillen's doing. And they may be right. If that was the only explanation...then it doesn't make sense to cut back on salary so much and bring in a rookie manager...unless you're committed to a multi-year recovery process
  6. I still f***ing hate this F***ing commercial.
  7. QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 10:37 PM) A blind squirrel finds a acorn every once in a while. He couldn't have hit that ball that far if he didn't put a real, legit swing on it.
  8. That might be harder than he hit any ball all last year, other than that 8 day period in early August when he had his legs under him.
  9. QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 10:32 PM) I'd really, really like to see Fukudome bat for Rios here I can endorse this.
  10. QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 10:31 PM) But do the Sox believe that? Gave him Hamilton and Beltre in the 8th inning of a tie game on the road, then left him in for Napoli with the bases loaded and 2 outs (of course, after he created the mess). That's some confidence in him.
  11. Wow, Napoli's splits last year L/R were almost identical. .319/1.049, .320/1.044.
  12. Getting hit by a 94 mph Thornton fastball can't be pleasant. Seems like Matt is in the same groove he was in last year in April.
  13. QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 10:24 PM) Just got home. How did Peavy look? Eh. Lotta sliders, got squeezed some on the corners, shoulda given up fewer runs than he did but a big De Aza 2 base error hurt, didn't wow or overpower anyone but got outs, found more of a groove towards the end.
  14. QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 10:24 PM) I hope Ventura likes to use his back-up catcher to ph a lot more than Ozzie did. Eh...that's one I don't blame Ozzie for. Plus, it's not like Flowers has hit poorly tonight. He just had a pitcher in the way.
  15. QUOTE (sunofgold @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 10:24 PM) He would have pinch hit for Fuku. Fuku becomes the pawn. haha! So, the Sox burn their backup OF's all at once, and thus have no one to PH for Rios?
  16. QUOTE (sunofgold @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 10:22 PM) Adams is probably a better pitcher than any lefty that they have. Then you could have used Viciedo against their weak lefty. Viciedo should not PH for Dunn.
  17. QUOTE (sunofgold @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 10:15 PM) Fuku has had some success against Adams. Should have used him as PH for De Aza or LB. Fukudome wouldn't have faced Adams if he was replacing Lillibridge, the Rangers would have brought in that lefty kid. And then Dunn would have to face the Lefty as well.
  18. QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 10:06 PM) They have any lefties in their pen? Thought they were looking for one. If they do, that's a good point by you. Some 23 year old named Robert Ross.
  19. QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 10:05 PM) There's no chance he gets non-tendered. He's arbitration eligible this year, and last year's performance was not worth a $3 million first year arbitration deal.
  20. QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 10:04 PM) I hope we see Fukudome bat for Lillibridge in the 8th The problem though is that you then entice Washington to bring in a Lefty to face Fukudome and Dunn.
  21. You don't keep the 7 man bullpen if you're not going to play matchups here to get through the 7th.
