This series against KC is going to be big. Need to win at least 2 out of 3 but with the pitching match ups I just don't see it happening unfortunately

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 09:40 PM) Has he even hit anything hard besides those 2 hits (both homers) Not that I can remember

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 09:39 PM) He gives him a chance now because Webb has done a great job for us this year and he deserves a shot in a big situation because of his performance (aside from walks, but Petricka has plenty of those as well) He has 22 BB. Can't put him in pressure situations right now with that control

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 09:38 PM) He will start the 9th that is for sure. I should of known when Eaton swung at first pitch this was a bad night. Yep.. Is Steverson responsible for the game play at the plate or do the hitters just do what they want

0 clutch hits tonight.. Like I said earlier, seems like this team is happy with just winning series.. Have to want more.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 09:35 PM) Webb has good numbers as well. He should be given a chance to be in big spots. Well he hasn't given him that chance so why do it now? Doesn't make any sense to just throw him out there just because..

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 09:32 PM) And Cabrera didn't exactly smoke the ball. It was an infield hit. Would have been out if Alexei was playing more towards the middle

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 09:32 PM) I would've pitched to Cabrera there, that's not what I said. I said we had the wrong reliever in, today was a Webb day. When has he pitched Webb in a 1 run ball game with runners on 2nd and 3rd and the best hitter in the world up? Come on, Webb has not been in big spots like that and there was no reason to go to him with Petricka having a good BAA against righties.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 09:29 PM) Chalk this up to management again, Webb is fresh and Jake is tired. Jake pitched. I don't. Can't win when you don't score. It was a toss up on rather to walk Cabrera or not.. Don't think RV did anything wrong tonight unless he is the one that gave the game plan to the hitters.

If we were playing him up the middle he would have been out easily by Alexei

weakest 2 rbi hit by Cabrera.. I could have sworn we usually play Miggy up the middle?? Why not that time?

Conor in at 3rd and results in a base hit.. If he was back he would have had that

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 09:16 PM) Yes, but he seems to be around the plate much of the time Well when you get out on the 1st or 2nd pitch it doesn't give him much time to be away from the plate..

Yep, I see his 1st CG coming.. Sometimes I feel like this team is happy with just winning a series. With hitters who see Max all the time you would think there would be a better game plan out there.

It has been a horrible game plan against Scherzer tonight. A lot of 1st pitch swinging when you need to make him work and throw a lot of pitches..

Great game by Sale.. Hopefully that one pitch won't cost him a loss.. Offense needs to pick him up some how

I think I would keep him in here

Took 4 minutes to tell us it didn't hit him?? Thanks a lot Ausmus/Martinez/Umps. Holy s***.

It either hit him or it didn't. Holy s***, come one... If it takes this long then it didn't hit him... This is just hurting Sale.. Needs to come out after this

I hope there is someone warming up just in case

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 12, 2014 -> 08:56 PM) Imagine Jose Abreu's everything with Adam Dunn's patience I hope not the Patience Dunn showed the last 2 AB's.

Seems like we are happy with just winning the series. Nobody is having good AB's except a couple here and there..

If Abreu had some damn patience and stopped swinging at s***ty pitches he would be so much better.. Quite annoying to seem him swing at 3 straight sliders with 2 of them being balls

Seriously Abreu.. Quit swinging at 1st pitch off speed...

Alright lets get some runs.. 3-4-5 in the line up needs to do some sort of damage .
