Roll Sox Roll!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 25, 2013 -> 09:33 PM) That is crazy. I wonder if he's trying to go deep with all the Ks. I'd take walks and singles. I dunno like a leadoff hitter... he strikes out way to much. He needs to make f***in' contact or bunt his way on.

Sale needs to Verlander this game and go 130 pitches...

Where do you work MEANS?

Gordon just hit a grand slam... 8-3 Royals.

funny how you guys forgot the sox walked a lot yesterday... b****in' just to b****... soxtalk's motto.

We're playing on Fridays from now on if anyone's interested.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 24, 2013 -> 04:18 PM) Next 12 go: TB 3-1 Tex 2-1 KC 2-1 NYM 2-0 Until then, still bad. Enjoy the win you debbie downer.

An insurance run would be really nice here.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 24, 2013 -> 03:57 PM) I forgot all about calling The Feathered Serpent, and I'm the one who dubbed him that... How did the Serpent do today? 5 ip 2 er 92 pitches

What happened? I'm watching gamecast.

omfg thorton Why not Santiago?!?!?!?!

It has to be a bluff.

Q is clutch.

Truth Hickory. These guys have to work counts. Zach made a good pitch on Kepp after feeding him fastball after fastball and then oops... change up. You can't expect to make quality contact after seeing two pitches! Make him throw you something you want to hit!

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 24, 2013 -> 01:51 PM) More than anyone on the team, he'd benefit from being more aggressive. Tyler seriously just looks at meatball pitches sometimes.

Tekotte owes us a hitting performance for that s*** he pulled on Monday.

LMAO sometimes I wonder if English is my first language. I was trying to say Flowers should be before Dunn not he should bat before Flowers. Not I see why everyone is picking fun.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 24, 2013 -> 09:11 AM) This lineup is bad enough with 9 people in it. No need to add a 10th. I do not follow.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 09:27 PM) It's concerning that Ventura won't tinker with the lineup . Right now the hot hitters need to be bunched together .My crazy lineup below at least against righties DeAza Alexei Rios Konerko Gillaspie DanksWise Keppinger Dunn Yes Dunn is last. At this point switch hitting Carlos Zambrano is a better option than Dunn. Maybe Kepp and Dunn can get hot together. Submit your own if you want. You don't need Kepp at 7th. Kepp still makes contact so 2nd is best for him. Where is Flowers/Gimenez... 9th? I think Dunn should be 9th and bat before Flowers since both will most likely strike out or may hit a home run. You gotta have all the non contact hitters together so you can lift one a PH if the situation calls for it. If one of the bums can draw a walk though, then you'll have the contact hitters behind them to hopefully drive them in but that's wishful thinking.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 23, 2013 -> 11:41 AM) I see this over and over again, and at this point (at least with Dunn) that makes no sense. Who replaces Dunn? Seth Loman? By the time Loman figures out major league pitching (if he ever does), you're in June at least. Replacing Dunn isn't a good idea, at this point. You work with him to find the 2012 Dunn if you can. If you get to Memorial Day or June and the team is obviously buried, then yeah, you can start doing stuff like that, maybe. I don't care if Dunn plays to be honest but he needs to be moved to the 9th. Maybe that will take some pressure off. He can hit his solo shots and strike out from there. He has done absolutely diddly squat from the 4/5 hole. I think he hit like a 2-run against Seattle and a double for an RBI but he's been pretty useless.

Ventura has to start yanking guys who play like crap. Starting with Dunn and Tekotte.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 10:13 PM) They got 2 runs off of him? So that should be good enough. LMAO. No it isn't good enough but atleast they went from 0 runs to 2 runs this time and it most likely would've been more if it wasn't for a base running blunder by Tekotte. I just put blame where blame is a due. The BP is f***ing all sorts of s*** up.

Justin Masterson is the team's ace. They got 2 runs off of him. I know that's not a lot considering the guy's ERA was 1.67. Axe gave a solid outing. The bullpen has to lock that s*** down and they didn't. Tekotte is a f***ing idiot and single handlely killed a rally. Outside the bad defense. The sox did OK tonight. The lineup has to be shaken up. I rather have the auto outs down in the 9 spot. Bat Dunn 9th for the love of god.

Well said lostfan.
