Over 90 pitches

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 08:32 PM) Double no no thru 5! One is perfect tho

Swing!!

You can tell which team has a better approach by the pitch count

We aren't swinging at the hittable pitches

L. Garcia is not a major league hitter.

De Aza needs like a week off

Offense has gone away this series.

What a catch!

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 03:49 PM) Literally every reliever we have has been bad this year. He could have flipped a coin. Up by two. No outs with a man on 1st in the 8th inning, which reliever would you pick?? I bet nobody would pick Petricka.

Sucks not seeing Abreu in the line up but it is needed. He isn't hitting much lately.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 02:04 PM) SoxTalk has spoken and Lindstrom can no longer be brought into save situations. I think the goal was to give Webb the night off until RV's hand was forced. As I have said, this bullpen is a work in progress, they are going to take their lumps, but I think they have some pieces to be a top flight bullpen next season. Cleto/Guerra in the 7th, Jones in the 8th, and Webb in the ninth sounds pretty strong in the long run, bring up Leesman and Purcey as the LH'ers and Rienzo as the long man and it should be pretty stout. The rest of the guys are here to see if they can be fixed and peddled for spare parts. The team may be ready to contend next season but this year is all about developing guys to be contributors in the Sox window of contention. Why though? He had one pitch the night before and thats it.. He ended up pitching 3 innings instead so fail of Robin's part.

I assume so we have a fresh arm in the bullpen tonight.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 01:58 PM) You and I must not have watched the same game. What I saw was a coach trying to save a two run lead by not letting his pitchers continue to walk three of every four batters they faced. I guess he could have let Veal or Cleto stay in and actually lose the game right then and there, thus eliminating the need to play extra innings. So he brings in the guy who wasn't even on the MLB roster to begin the year in the 8th inning up 2 with a runner on first? That was stupid. That whole 8th inning was poorly managed IMO

What I didn't understand is why Petricka was used in the 8th inning when we are up by 2? He just pitched the night before and he wasnt even on the roster the start of the season and we are using him in one of the most important part of the game? Should have been Webb

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 15, 2014 -> 10:59 PM) Trying to keep my undefeated game thread streak alive. John Danks (4.15) vs Clay Buchholz (6.97). You have to do it the day of.. What are you doing??!
