K actually did some research here... Addison Reed 81% career saves David Robertson 81% career saves Sooooo......

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 09:29 PM) http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/pitching/_/year/2015/sort/saves Since we're playing the SV/SVO card, how does that excuse 2015? You have to go all the way down to Fernando Rodney at #31 in total saves to find ANYONE in the top 30 with SEVEN blown saves. Robertson is all alone right there in that category. You can blame the Sox defense all you want, but he hasn't been one of the Top 5 or even Top 10 closers in all of baseball since we signed him. By salary we should be getting ELITE. Last year I thought he didn't play up to expecations... This year he has been up and down a little bit.. but great in save situations. Last year was different...

Robertson struggled for a bit there awhile back but the last month he has been great.. good numbers overall.

benetti in true form... "he is about to walk to 2nd base" Double play

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 09:29 AM) 23/25 is all that really matters. This... Robertson struggled some about a month ago. He has been solid the last few weeks.

Our bullpen was borderline when healthy... now with all these injuries we have zero depth. If we keep winning... then we are going to have to find help. It would also help if our starters would step up - especially our top guys who haven't pitched like that recently.

I don't like pitching closers in non close situations... UNLESS the game is out of reach and lost. But... there are many other factors that can play into this. Like injuries...

Yikes the pitching situation isn't so great right now.... need the All Star break.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 04:03 PM) I can't imagine the Sox are in sell mode yet. Hanging on the edge. the reason will have to come out here soon...

just noticed Rodon is on the 15 day DL with a sprained wrist.. slipped in dugout Friday.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 03:58 PM) Damn Abreu has bailed Frazier out often lately with good scoops Was it a short hopper... whey didn't he just step on 3rd?

I don't even know what the end of that game was all about.... Boggles

ummm why are we intentionally walking this guy...

If Roberston has some issue.. then not much Robin can do... IF this is to simply "Rest" him before the all star break...

no reports of Robertson being injured anywhere.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 03:29 PM) Just got home. Why isn't Jones in? Saving dat arm for when were 60-67

QUOTE (Insp @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 03:27 PM) Now that Albers is in, it seems fair to say that Ventura no longer wants to win this game. Oh boy here come Robin... Just when I thought I could shut up about him for a bit he brings in Beck last night and albers tonight...

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 03:23 PM) That's the best he could do with a 3-0 count? Abreu still has a decent RBI total... but he looks nothing like the guy we were all so excited about.

Trademark Ventura ball right there.

Duke has been great lately.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 02:15 PM) Telling a baseball announcer to shut up and just announce the game is such a ridiculous comment. There's not that much going on in baseball guys. Yeah announcers going to announce... Jason B though has a knack. He will keep talking about Quintana being an all start snub.. and Quintana will give up 7 runs.

Does anyone know Quintana's ERA when leading? I've tried to look it up.. but I swear its x2 higher.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 02:15 PM) Telling a baseball announcer to shut up and just announce the game is such a ridiculous comment. There's not that much going on in baseball guys. This is half the reason their are fights in baseball games... they are bored.

frazier was 10-75 (.133) RISP before that double... crazy to think he has that many RBI with that lack of RISP success.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 02:05 PM) How does Anderson not score there? There center fielder supposedly has a gun.
