Perfect bunt placement.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 10:15 PM) Wow, bad luck continues. That wasnt bad luck, it was weakly hit

Sigh

Turrble becks. Fastball right by him

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 10:05 PM) Even former Sox farmhands still have trouble bunting. Chris Young had 2nd and 3rd, 1 out and he bunted into a double play. DBacks up by one going into the bottom of the 9th. Why on earth would a manager bunt there? Suicide squeeze?

Rios all over that

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 10:04 PM) Did he hit it hard? I have gameday It went like 500 feet in the air and 370 horizontal

You remember when the guy in Major League said "too high"? That's what that was

Oh Jesus Christ.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:51 PM) His velocity was much lower during the first few innings. Seemed like he was sitting 94-95 with the heat, and spotting it pretty well. Slider was in the 87-89 range, and he even mixed in the curve a couple of times. Theres an "ooh 98" somewhere in this thread from inning 2 I think

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:49 PM) We seem to be calling for a Dayan Viciedo call up more all the time and complaining about Juan Pierre. But, I have never seen DV in the OF. How is his throwing arm? How many assists does he have at Charlotte? Of course he also swings a bat, which I agree seems to be a challenge for JP. His arm is a cannon. We saw at least one awesome assist in the spring. I don't know how consistently accurate he is though but he can fire it.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:50 PM) Morse had just come off suspension when we traded him for either drugs or PEDs or something. PED's

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:46 PM) Edwin doesn't need to overthrow to be effective. In fact that is when he is most while. He is a guy who would be much better at 95 with tons of movement. Hes been much more in control today though despite the velocity.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:20 PM) I asked if he was similar to Kukoc. No one answered. I was not trying to compare him to Kukoc; but, they do have similar body size and outside games. Kukoc had a very good outside jumper. I had a feeling based on the first post that someone is going to come back with a modern stat showing his outside shot was actually ineffective.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:44 PM) You know there would be some police brutality. More like a suit based on the language

That is a lot of weak hits

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:41 PM) I wouldnt use this game as any indicator for who sucks or not. Zimmerman is GOOD. We've really had his number the last 2 years

Zimmerman hit it hard but at konerko

Rizzo in the booth with Hawk talking bout riggleman.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:37 PM) I would've called a pitchout on the 0-2 count when Werth stole 2nd. Of course, that would've only exposed AJ even more when he was safe. So maybe not a good idea. The sox need to just stop pitching out. It's just making the at bat harder on the pitcher and Aj has just as good a shot at throwing guys out on a normal pitch.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:35 PM) on Gameday they got Edwin's heater up at around 96-98, any1 can verify if they notice a slight boost in Jackson's fastball tonight? The comcast gun agrees

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:35 PM) Yankees Montero is looking more and more like a Sox target, if we could acquire him this year it'd make him ready for the bigs after AJ's deal expires next year They wouldn't give him up for Greinke last year. And the sox don't look like sellers any more

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:33 PM) If they can make it happen, a DL stint might be a good idea. Get a physical and psychological exam. Get an eye exam and get him in extended spring training working on his swing. That's about the only option other than playing him.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:30 PM) Well, this game is an exercise in offensive futility. No winner, winner chicken dinner on that gamble. Should have gotten hung up so the runner could try to get to 2B. Brutal. Carlos Lee-esque there. Werth has to be running. That far ahead Aj could have run at him and maybe turned 2 if the runner went to 2b

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 09:24 PM) Legitimate question: at what point do you bench Dunn? I'm all for letting him work it out if you're not in a pennant race, but since we've climbed back into contention, you can't keep letting him hurt you. Hopefully he'll figure it out in the next few months, but for right now, the big man needs to take a step back and regroup. I don't think you can, not for more than a couple games, at least not without a dl stint.
