I looooove patience at the plate. I really want to see Swish do well.

It is one of the basic theories that people lump with "money ball" Swish is struggling with BA and SLG, but his OPS+ is still 2 points above average since he walks so much

SWISH, thanks for not swinging at that garbage.

Not saying he has been, but he's definitely been taking way too many good pitches to hit today, good job nick. OC needs to do something here other than a GIDP.

ARGH.

Jesus, a GIDP? Anyone object to putting Carlos in the 2 hole?

Check out the drunk dipsh*t in the stands taking his shirt off and starting trouble.

OC needs to try to bunt some more.

Horrible, horrible decision to hit and run there. Should have layed a bunt down.

OC fails to put a hit-and-run into play again:) He's such a bust, it's not even funny! Get him out of the 2 spot.

How can a guy go from being such a solid hitter in the 2 hole to such a bad one in 1 offseason?

 

Maybe, um, it's time for a rest for him. (See below).

LOL GIDP. F*** you OC.

Take it easy, man.

LOL GIDP. F*** you OC.

 

That is what I mean about him. He was suppossed to be the ideal #2 hitter, I am seeing nothing that shows anything resembling that.

 

Wow another walk that will go to waste.

No, he really should be, and put Cabrera in the 8 spot. However, KW would never admit he made such a blatant error in evaluation of a player.

Thome with a 5 pitch walk

i can sort of take it when this happens against a soft tossing lefty...but with our new found patience and our ability to pound righty fastballs usually..this shouldnt happen vs. daniel cabrera

Take it easy, man.

 

your post was about as necessary as mine was.

I hate when that happens to the Sox.

OC's bat speed looks brutal. It has been that way since day 1 of ST. He definitely looks his age now.

Quentin should be in the #2 spot in the lineup tomorrow. OC hit's #9

Players don't fall off a cliff this rapidly at age 33.

we're not winning today, paulie shouldn't have made that comment yesterday.

OC should get a day off.

Here is goes....we suck (it's worked the past few days)

has Hawk thrown out "effectively wild" today?

OC is just frustrating. REALLY glad we didn't sign him to an extension after we traded for him. Take the picks, admit the failure, and move on.

 

Whats the FA crop gonna look like for 2B/SS next year? Assuming Richar doesn't do well (and that might not be a good assumption, but we'll see).

Aj continues to show no knowledge of the strike zone

We need some more lefties in our lineup!

I said this yesterday.

 

Another horses*** at-bat, this team has found a way to not only give away at-bats but give away a whole games worth of at-bats.
