Good job by Gavin. I expected much worse.

Holy balls, Flowers got a hit!

Adam's not hitting home runs, striking out, or walking as often. I don't like this.

Tyler Flowers must be ultra pissed right now. That pitch he struck out on wasn't much better than the one Andrus walked on.

At this pace, Feldman's going to throw a complete game shutout. 47 pitches through 4+.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 07:31 PM) Good number to trade him at! This is the first year since 2008 that Gavin's FIP is actually higher than his ERA. How weird.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 07:30 PM) I've missed the first 4 innings. Have the Sox had good at bats so far? They did when they got their 4 hits. Otherwise, not really. Konerko hit one hard to the Right-Center gap, but Gentry ran it down pretty easily (that guy has some incredible range).

Gavin's ERA now down to 4.30.

Gavin will be lucky to get through 5 innings this game.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 07:24 PM) Another umpire who has no clue on the zone. f***ing replace them with robots already. That last pitch was definitely a strike. Andrus also swung on the check-swing. Joe West's crew is absolute s***.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 06:51 PM) Dear Lord, no. Pryzbylla is awful.

Gordon got a hit!

QUOTE (Wedge @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 06:42 PM) Cubs try to offer Soriano to the dodgers to sweeten the pot. Lawl Unless they pick up at least half the money, that's lawl-worthy.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 06:21 PM) Jon Morosi @jonmorosi Brandon League warming up, per @shannondrayer. That would suggest no trade imminent. 5:18pm - 29 Jul 12 Shannon is a beat writer for SEA. Maybe if this doesn't happen soon, Seattle is waiting to see how Gavin does tonight before they pull the trigger on the blockbuster that brings Felix and League!! The more it drags on the better maybe. And clearly this is wishful thinking but who the heck knows. Seattle doesn't want Gavin Floyd.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 04:23 PM) Who would you guys say is the most credible reporter out there regarding trade rumors? Nightengale?...Buster?...Rosenthal? Heyman, Rosenthal, and Olney are all good IMO.

QUOTE (Benchwarmerjim @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 04:05 PM) Twins outscored Cleveland 28-6 Does this mean they won't score as many in the next 3?

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 04:13 PM) This time of year is like CHRISTMAS to me.....When the Sox are in the hunt of course. I still remember the 09 deadline. The deadline had passed and I was pissed. We didn't get anyone. Then Bob Nightengale tweeted that we got Peavy (again) and Soxtalk crashed. Haha.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 04:11 PM) looking at leagues numbers over the years, it's shocking how few bats the guy misses considering his stuff. I was surprised when I saw that he only K'd 6.6/9 last season.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 03:58 PM) On a sidenote, although I throughly applaud KW for being active. You have to wonder if too many more moves affects this great chemistry established. Granted you check the egos at the door, this team is really close and took Escy's departure hard. I just dint want this team being affected from the swagger they have shown all year Yeah, this is true. It's the price you pay for not having a strong farm system. You have to trade guys on the team.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 03:11 PM) Phelps gives the US .76 lead in relay and Lochte cant hold onto it. U.S. Men's swimming has been disappointing thus far.

Kenny's getting Felix. This is just a smokescreen.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 03:39 PM) Twins sweep the Indians. Indians gotta think long & hard these next couple days. They should trade Choo to the NL.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 03:35 PM) Indians about to be swept in Minnesota just in time to realize they should sell. I'd rather go out that way than to do something stupid that would hurt the team in the long run. Like that Ubaldo Jimenez trade last year.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 03:23 PM) Keppinger would be great as well Keppinger's way better than Gordon. That would be a hell of a way for Kenny to end the trade deadline.

League's not bad. His K numbers are way down from last year and his walks are up, but he's kept the ball in the park. I still don't see the need for yet another right handed reliever though. I don't see the Sox sending down Santiago and Septimo. Maybe one, but not both.
