QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 03:46 PM) Stults Oh I meant the Red Sox, they DFA'd Mike Bowden. Really hoping Hudson is cut and Dan Johnson comes up. Not cause he's good, I just like Dan Johnson.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 03:41 PM) With the way he's hitting, you'd have to hit him either 7th or 8th. An interesting thought would be to hit him second. He's got the on base skills to thrive in that role. Gordon is doing well in the #2 spot, I'd hit him 6th, with DV moving to 7th. Alexei should hit 9th from here out unless he turns it around.

Yeah Lilli is a p decent return for the Red Sox. Stewart is just depth, they DFA'd a better pitcher earlier this year.

So with Lilli out, is there room for Dan Johnson now?

Man, Quintana is going to get another ND in a stellar game. Team is really failing him.

bunch of dudes are slumping at once, which is why wins and offense have been few and far between lately.

He could still probably post a sub 4 era in Petco. His mistake was signing with the Rockies. Maybe the Twins should get him.

Very little discussion on Molina. Secretly disappointed? Not so secretly? Hopefully Castro shakes out, he was awful in his last go at AAA.

Y C Sanchez - .327/.386/.412 and playing in the Futures game. Also is it just me or did they sneak him over to 3rd? I thought he was a 2B all season before now?

Stewart reaches allll the way back for a 93mph fastball

Haha jesus Stewart is unreal bad. If he isn't DFA sometime in the next two weeks its a major oversight.

Back half is pretty bad but the front half is really good. Kipnis is legit. Their pitching is only decent though, and Lowe is due for a huge regression. In other words, interesting summer coming up.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 19, 2012 -> 08:13 PM) FOX: "Furious ninth inning Cubs comeback." Uh, no it wasn't. Just another suckfest for Zach Stewart

At least the other Central contenders took a night off. B-Mac destroyed the Tigers btw.

I mean you can definitely count on multiple limbs the number of times the Sox have been aced by some teams garbage 5th starter in the last few years. Nothing helps get a pitcher going like facing this offense.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 12, 2012 -> 07:24 PM) I disagree..this team has been in nearly every game they've played this year. I do agree that I have gotten the feeling less so far this year but the team is similar enough to the 2009-2011 squads that played so much corpseball that it is hard to ignore it tonight.

So you aren't getting that feeling? The feeling like you are watching 9 guys in a desperate rush to finish the game? This is a feeling I have had many times watching this team. The distinct impression that they simply do not want to play tonight. Tonight is one of those nights.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 12, 2012 -> 08:08 PM) Because you know, pitchers that Brent Morel can hit are just unhittable to everyone else. He's done a pretty good job of sitting the Sox down so far. I guess I should say, they have done a pretty good job of sitting themselves down.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 12, 2012 -> 08:04 PM) Sox will score at least 3 tonight I'm not sure you know which team you are watching. I feel like they will be lucky to score 1. It'll be a late inning solo shot off Hochevar on his 98th pitch in the 8th inning.

Probably late July. Though we did see the Padres already selling high on a reliever, and Jeff Luhnow is already openly talking about his trade chips. The Sox aren't as bad as those two teams but they could be in a year or so barring a major influx of new talent.

Maybe Santiago goes to Birm as a starter (please please please)

I guess Humber's new nickname is Icarus...

Probably see Castro and Hernandez before Molina.

Zach Stewart in = Officially Garbage Time.
