As it stands, we have no one to bridge the gap from the starter to the closer. No one.

 

Hell, I'm not even that confident in Jenks closing out ballgames.

 

The idea is that if our starting pitching can't get it done, you have Thome and company to put some runs up on the board. So far, nothing doing.

 

Yikes.

I propose after showing the exact same pitch/location that he try and set up Sweeney some where else. Especially since the pitch before Sweeney was right on it.

Sweeney could just as easily have homered off of Politte's B- fastball trying to challenge him inside. That is one of the few certainties in this universe.

 

fathom knows. As he showed at the end of last year....oh wait.

Crede grounded ouot with the bases loaded

 

Better yet it was a double play!

It was a slider/change down and away. What would you propose he do? Walk him?Grudz got a bloop hit on a good pitch and Sweeney hit a HR on a ball low and away.

 

 

Is this the first time you have seen Mike Sweeney do this to the sox. Pretty much he is single man wrecking crew for the Royals against the sox. He is a certifyable sox killer. I know that you just believe that Sweeney magically he just got a shamrock shoved up his ass because it must of been dumb luck that he parked that ball. It doesnt shock me to see this. When you face the royals you dont pitch to Sweeney. You sure as hell dont pitch to him with the game on the line at the end of the game.

Nice play Paul you f***er

jeebus

It's amazing that you come on here just in time to try and make excuses for everything. You can ask anyone in the chat....we were begging for Politte to stop throwing that offspeed slop on the outside.

How many homers does Sweeney have against the Sox in his lifetime?  How many career homers does he have?

 

I bet about a quarter of his HR's are against us.

He passed Thome and Dye as all time Sox killers

fathom knows. As he showed at the end of last year....oh wait.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yep, once again it's time to bash fathom because the Sox are playing bad. What's the deal?

There was nothing wrong with CLiff's pitch, just a great piece of hitting by Killer Sweeney

fathom knows. As he showed at the end of last year....oh wait.

knock it off, seriously

He passed Thome and Dye as all time Sox killers

 

So any chance of a mid season aquisition now?

Nobody in the major leagues would walk a guy with a guy on first, no outs, and a 1-run lead. Nobody.

C'mon, get this last out to get our hitters up

fathom knows. As he showed at the end of last year....oh wait.

 

Yep, how dare I predict that the Sox with a 14 game lead wasn't a stone cold lock to coast into the playoffs.

Mike Sweeney career: .304 182 HR 766 RBIs in 4197 ABs

 

MS career vs Sox: .322 28 HR 90 RBIs in 394 ABs

Yep, once again it's time to bash fathom because the Sox are playing bad.  What's the deal?

He's a dirty Indians fan like you.. its all his fault!

Again, stick to the game.

As it stands, we have no one to bridge the gap from the starter to the closer.  No one.

 

Hell, I'm not even that confident in Jenks closing out ballgames.

 

I get the feeling that we're going to trade a starter for bullpen help in July.

HE GAWN

 

All I have to say is...

 

GET A RUN YOU f***ERS

Politte has been opening the eyes of hitters with a rather weak slider thus far this season. There's no radar gun available, but I guarantee his fastball isn't around the 92-94 range it was last season.

 

He threw several meat pitches to Sweeney during the AB. It was envitable the ball was going to be crushed somewhere.

 

We're not talking about the same Politte here as last season. Our bullpen woes have only been heightened through the first week.

GASSS .. ok ... we need runs ... badly ...

 

Go

So any chance of a mid season aquisition now?

Only if he doesn't get Carl Everett
