i would rather alexi at 2b and uribe at short

That's a good point...how has Alexi looked at SS in previous games? He is most likely our SS next year?

 

Joe for 3

We haven't seen much of him there and IIRC he's been a little rough, but all season they've been talking him up as a better defensive SS than 2nd base or CF, and said that 2nd was his 3rd best position. So it'll depend on the offseason moves obviously (We need one more middle infielder unless we're starting Getz or hanging on to Uribe as a starter) but Alexei at SS seems more than 50% likely IMO for next year

Richard getting a little wild here in the 2nd.

Alexei is still raw enough as well for the Sox to send him to winter ball, where I would assume he would getting work at SS. While it's not the ideal place to gain experience(game speed, field conditions) it couldn't hurt.

After a full season here and hopefully another month in the playoffs too, I really doubt they'll send Alexei to winter ball, but hey, you never know. Remember he was a SS in Cuba full time I believe.

Everyone trying to pull the slow outside stuff. Go figure.

i dont like walks

that wasnt even close

This home ump won't give Clayton a corner for nothing.

are we the only people in this thread?

Others will come. Game started earlier than I thought it would of.

The O's broadcast just flashed a stat that 47.8% of the Sox runs scored via HR. I actually thought it'd be slightly more.

Tampa Bay 2nd at 38%.

Thome's really struggling against LHP lately.

christ thome's been striking out a lot lately

What a great swing by Griffey!

Another just amazing AB for Crede....ugh!

crede's swing looking long and slow. bummer.

There's that Joe Crede pop-up swing I've missed for so long....

Another just amazing AB for Crede....ugh!

 

Why did we bring him back up? Wasn't he like 0 for ever down there?

i am so sick of crede's pop ups to short right field...

 

i would rather have a full season of uribe at 3b than crede playing for the league minimum

I don't get it, especially to face a LHP.

Yay, more poor range by our defense. Why do our 3rd basemen play so close?

About time to take Richard out. His slider is just a terrible, terrible pitch.

How long does it usually take for the cheesy synthesized guitar music to start playing when Griffey is playing? Because the verbal blow job Hawk is giving him is pornographic.
