7/6 - Sox @ Rockies, Smith v. Dollander - 2:10 CDT

I don't understand this stuff sometimes. It clearly bounced off the ground back into the mitt. What is the point of using instant replay and then ignore what it shows?

[chitownsportsfan]

104mph and 109mph for sosa and colson respectively.

Looks like Colson can hit heat now.

I don't think he's got a tired arm. He threw 94 innings last year, he's probably good for 120 this year. Yeah, the league probably pays closer attention to his scouting report, now, and has a plan for him. Every pitcher gets found out and needs to readjust. He doesn't have the experience to slide over to something he knows will get this guy out, or whatnot. He's got one more start before the All-Star game, then a week off. He's at 80 innings. 120 innings would be 8 more 5 inning starts. That takes him into September, then they can flip him and Vasil, with Vasil starting and Smith throwing an inning or two every 5 days. 

94 over how many months though? Full season? Coming into today (around half a season), he was at 79.1.

3 balls hit over 100mph in the air and one hit. FFS.

Is anyone else worried about Shane Smith because I am, both for this game and going forward for the rest of the year. If I'm correct, he's had three BAD games in a row. With the light air in this stadium, I could see him giving up 4 or 5 runs in the first couple innings. Hasn't he done that two games in a row? Three?

It seems that his arm is really tired. If I were the Sox, I'd be keeping a very close eye on him today, and keeping Tyler Alexander ready to pop up very quickly. More and more lately, it is really starting to seem like Alexander is another nice pitching pick-up. I know it's a small sample size of him pitching well, but it is trending up, while Smith is really trending downward. 

I hope I'm wrong and Smith pitches five great innings, but I would be ready to get people up. 

With anyone having a Cinderella stretch you always worry about midnight.  The problem with Smith is we don't know if it is innings fatigue,  getting figured out, or some of both.

the whole season. He started and ended in the bullpen and started for 3 months in between.

Hopefully it was back related and they figured out how to keep him healthy.

He looks dangerous 

[chitownsportsfan]

0-2 and he throws it right down the middle. What are we doing here? Come on.

[chitownsportsfan]

just a terrible job by smith covering.

[JoshPR]

That play is always dangerous 

[PaleAleSox]

He had plenty of time to find the bag. Cmon, bro.

[bobbydanks]

Maybe if smith gets to the bag on time. It wasn't the greatest throw but he had no chance being so late.

[chitownsportsfan]

robots.

[PaleAleSox]

That was paint on the corner. Bullshit. 

[Autumn Dreamin]

[chitownsportsfan]

great AB quero.

[chitownsportsfan]

This ump sucks.

[PaleAleSox]

Noda is bringing less to the table than Rojas. 

[JoshPR]

Wow
