QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 03:15 PM) I still wanna know why our pitchers havent learned keep runners on and making aj have no shot at any runners stealing? The Sox have given up 15 SB's on the season. That's right in the middle of baseball. Boston has given up 38. Sox catchers have thrown out 32% of base stealers so far this season, which is above average and is tied with Detroit for 11th in the league. I don't have stats for pickoffs, but with MB, we're going to be up there in those also.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 03:14 PM) WHY WOULD ANYONE BE AFRAID OF GUERRERO when our own GM didn't want to sign him, nor did most SoxTalk posters. Really? I thought he would have been a very good addition.

It'd be really nice if G could put together a quality start on the road for once.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 03:12 PM) I don't think anyone around here has ever been questioned about using underline, italics, bold...sometimes I just wonder if it really makes those posters feel better about themselves, maybe it does...well, whatever works. Dude, it's a message board mostly filled with males. Everyone gets ripped on for stupid stuff. Grammar, typos, random coding issues, everything.

Damnit G. Welcome to the big leagues Smoak.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 03:10 PM) Why all the negativity in the game thread? This is unusual? Hell, I'd imagine this is a positive thread.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 03:03 PM) How about that... He's was the second player I couldn't stand growing up, following Claudell Washington. Nolan Ryan struck him out 39 times, more than any other batter.

QUOTE (hogan873 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 03:02 PM) Is it 1-0 or 2-0 Texas? 2-0. Both runs unearned.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:59 PM) Jerry Don Gleaton could have figured it out... How about that, he's currently active in a group called "Pro Athletes Outreach Ministry".

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:59 PM) Jerry Don Gleaton could have figured it out... Ok, I've got to Google that one.

A Beck2b!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:58 PM) Your google broke? It's how I keep up with you in post-count.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:57 PM) You mean Vlad who just made an out? Seriously, what are the splits for Hamilton and Vladdy against GAVIN? Prior to today, Hamilton was 1/2 against him and Guerrero was 4/18.

Great moments in legislative acronyms. Copied from email press release:

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:52 PM) Work around Hamilton to face Vladdy, RHP v. RHB? Don't be mad if you walk him, but don't give in.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:51 PM) We're on pace for 3 hits. Man, there's extrapolating from small sample sizes...

QUOTE (kane0730 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:50 PM) Ball game. Here comes an 0-6 trip. Hopefully heads will roll come Monday. Oh come on, you're writing the game off at 1 run?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:47 PM) BALTA, what is his RISP average from 2007-2010? I would guess his higher numbers in that category were in the FLA/COLORADO days. From 2007-2009, conveniently the splits ESPN gives, Pierre hit .294 overall and .285 with RISP.

Run scores as Teahen throws a ground ball away.

1 out triple for Borbon.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:43 PM) NOT SO FUN FACT: Juan Pierre 1 for 19 with RISP this season. Well, considering he's a .287 career hitter with RISP, you have to think this can't last.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:41 PM) What are the Odds that Pierre will get a runner home from 2nd with 2 outs? Yeah, about what I thought.

What are the Odds that Pierre will get a runner home from 2nd with 2 outs?

Alexei has hit in 6 of his last 7 games.
