Holy crap - I have never seen an LF play that close to the line. Young can't be more than 20 feet from it.

 

haven't seen this before, crede not being able to lay off curveballs in the dirt? say it ain't so.

edit: they were sliders, but breaking pitches none the less.

Well, "my realistic with trade" lineup would be:

 

Roberts

 

I posted this in the blog thread.

 

I also think Quintin should be batting second right now or even lead-off. With Cabrera hitting 9th.

 

Come on Joe.

Only reason I have Swisher at the 2 spot is because if he bats 4th, we still have no #2 hitter. Until we get one , then he can protect Quentin or vice versa.

Crede K. Tied, going to bottom of 6th.

 

Crede and Dye are having terrible games.

He's been very "unclutch" since the Joba hit.

I have no problem with Swisher leading off as the team is now, I think CQ in 2 is the way to go as well.

 

Swisher has scored 19 runs and walked 22 times. He isn't hitting for average or SLG, but he is contributing

I just worry Swisher is too worried about getting on base, he is a good power and contact hitter also.

Nasty

Wow, Thornton makes Young look silly on that K.

 

Matty Thor mowing them down, 2 outs

Nick's got a high baseball IQ. He'll adjust.

 

Wassermann warming up, he'll probably pitch the 7th.

In the leadoff spot he is, ideally is what we just saw in this game. He came up with a guy on 2nd and he drove him in later in the game, but was on base for Thome earlier

Cripes. Strikeout, WP, Lamb reaches base.

 

Not to s*** on yours, but this guy is a grade A talent that has been hurt. He was supposed hit like crazy when he came up. Take a gander at his minor league numbers. And Walk has stated time and time again, he doesnt touch young hitters because they "got here with their swing". Hence why he didnt work with Anderson for the longest time.

 

I just don't know Why you are b****ing about something that has not even happened.

Hopefully the K that reached base won't come back to haunt the Sox.

He's been very "unclutch" since the Joba hit.

 

The clutch thing is kind of funny to me in that a hit there to drive in a run is just as good as doing it in 8th or 9th, just a bit more demoralizing to the opponent. That is where I think the Hawk "tell me whne you do it" line is dumb. Runs early in the game can change the opponents way of thinking. 100 total RBI spaced evenly through a game are better then only having 35 and all of them coming in the 7th through 9th inning.

 

Dropped third strike and Lamb is safe........ugh. The Twins will score here in typical "twin" fashion.

 

 

AHHH!!! come on Matt, let's end the Nick Puto legend before it grows

Thornton gets 4 outs in one inning. I think that ties a record.

There we go, K, and it works this time.

 

Going to 7.

 

Great 2 innings by Thornton.

awesome job Matt, 2 scoreless innings and looking strong in doing it

masset and thornton both look great so far this year. definitely pitching well enough to win games

 

the only blame anyone should be giving anyone is to our pathetic offense.
