August 30 at NY. Mark it down.

Hudson could be starting in Indianapolis on Sunday.

Lowe stunk it up.

Listening to Hudson on the postgame show. He sounds like a teenager, but he's poised. Bloom didn't ask him about the possibility of going to the Sox. Only that he may start the first game of the playoffs for the Barons. It would be quite a story if he goes from Kannapolis to Chicago in the same season.

QUOTE (JohnStamos @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 09:35 PM) You planning on using a 4 man rotation? I'd bring up Torres too, and then put him in the bullpen when Peavy is ready.

Daniel Hudson moves to 7-0 with a 1.60 ERA at Birmingham. Thanks for the memories, Jose. Your time is up.

28 inning scoreless streak for Hudson. Hudson is done. Lujan warming up.

Huddy- 5 inn, 3 hits, 1 walk, 6 ks 79 pitches. 57 strikes.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 08:14 PM) Is there a plan to bring him up? I had not seen that. Not necessarily a plan, but Rick Hahn mentioned him as a possible starter until Peavy is ready. If he pitches Saturday, it'll be on three days rest, so he probably wouldn't go 6-7 innings tonight. ...Just thinking--maybe they'll pitch Contreras on Saturday since he only went 66 pitches tonight, and the 5th starter will go Sunday. I'd just prefer Contreras get his walking papers.

64 pitches for Hudson. If he's going Saturday in Chicago, he better be done. It will be telling if he doesn't come out for the 5th.

Beckham addressed Slayer and Bacon today on the Scott Van Pelt show. I think both are bad. http://sports.espn.go.com/stations/player?id=4376688

August 25th seems perfect to me. He won't be pitching the first game of the Boston series, which also means he won't pitch the Wrigley game on 9/3. I'd rather him not be swinging a bat and running the bases. Let's not tempt fate. So if he starts Aug 25, he starts Aug 30 at NY. Then with a six game homestand, the Sox can get him two home games Sep 4 vs Boston and, Wednesday, Sep 9 vs Oak. Then maybe 9/15 at Sea; 9/20 vs KC, and then two starts vs Detroit to finish the season. Not that I thought this through or anything.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 2, 2009 -> 12:15 PM) Torres was just fine last time. Dance w/ the girl that brought ya. OK i misused that saying just then. I agree with you in that respect, but after hearing Hahn bring up Hudson's name, I'm beginning to think he's the one coming up. I mean, what was the point of bringing his name up in that situation. He could have just said, "We were all impressed with Torres' spot start, and he'll be coming up for those starts", but he didn't. I think Torres would be great in the pen, by the way. He'll be out there in September.

Hudson is scheduled to start Tuesday for Birmingham. If he gets moved up to Monday, or has a short outing on Tuesday, maybe that will be a sign he's starting on Aug 8 vs Cleveland. Something to look out for.

I'd really like to see what Hudson can do. I really think Torres is a nice pitcher, and I think he's almost a lock to be in the bullpen in 2010. But I think it would be a good move to get Hudson's feet wet and see if he can handle the Indians on August 8 and the Royals on August 18.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 10:56 PM) That makes me more nervous that he is going to be traded then. He was out on the mound warming up before the 7th. He pointed to his back area, and was removed.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 09:07 PM) It's amazing just how far it has gone. Once again, Ozzie's inability to speak good English has brought another gift. But it's stupid, and he doesn't like it.

So when does the Bacon nickname go away quietly in the night?

If it's the oblique, don't count on him pitching again this year.

Hudson is leaving the game in the 7th inning with an injury. Possibly a back or oblique. Not good.
