QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 07:24 PM) I don't want to sound like I'm overreacting, but I haven't had much faith in Bobby since 2006. He just doesn't (and hasn't for a WHILE) have the stuff that made him GOOD in 05-06. Including that 40+ straight retired streak in 2007?

Clayton really deserved that win. At least Bobby will take the loss.

Man alive. 4 pitches, 3 runners.

Bobby...

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 07:13 PM) I can't say I disagree. That's what we did with Garland and it paid off. Gotta let them grow. Right now though, I take him out with high confidence. There's a difference between showing confidence in a guy and pushing a guy's arm farther than it should go. He's probably never thrown this many pitches in an outing at any level, and certainly hasn't done it in the big leagues.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 07:12 PM) Honestly, if Clayton says he feels strong, I let him finish this game out. With the way the bullpen has been, along with how he has thrown tonight, it's his game. Let him win it or lose it. Not at 115 pitches. Not with a kid like him.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 07:08 PM) Tough play, but it needs to be made Gordo. Beckham should have let that go. The SS would have had it.

Well done Clayton, for like the 3rd straight inning.

Career high in pitches thrown/innings in an outing for Richard.

Why is Richard still in?

Blast alexei.

Highest batting average on our team? Gordon Beckham.

Up to .306.

QUOTE (bobryansson @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 06:58 PM) Wheezy should run for TCQ. Really, why wasn't he in once Q was HBP?

3/3. Those are podsednik quality numbers.

Pitcher falls behind Beckham. Appropriate response? Meeting on the mound wiht the entire infield.

QUOTE (Jimmywins1 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 06:53 PM) Aaron Poreda's average fastball has been 92.5 mph, Clayton Richard's has been 91.6. Bet that changes after tonight.

Ok, now give Richard a standing O.

That was a fast inning.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 06:34 PM) I am really happy for Richard and his showing tonight. Of course I am happy for the Sox leading too, but this performance can't be lost on management He's at 90 pitches and hasn't worked a ton lately, and he's through their big hitting guys. I'm ok with him starting the 7th if he's up to it.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 06:28 PM) Huge inning for CR here. Lets have a nice 1-2-3 inning And a couple K's to make it seem nicer too.

And that's .301.

Becktastic!

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 06:01 PM) Coming off a 4-4 too If he's only hitting .300 and he was 4/4 last night, that means he's due to go an extra 0/8 right?

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 05:56 PM) Hawk and Stone way off base. Calling out Beckham for a baserunning error? How about Pods made an awful bunt and it was his fault. Geez guys. Technically Beckham was probably too aggressive there, at 2nd base you ought to be able to see if a bunt is popped up before you're going full speed to 3rd. But yeah, 90/10 Pods's fault.
