honestly... i'd have sent brent, then you only need a single

I'm pretty sure Alexei has swung at EVERY 1st pitch so far. All breaking balls.

Please tell me Ozzie pinch ran

 

Lillibridge in for PK.

Evidence?

What about right after the all-star break when the Sox played ~.500 ball? Were they too tired then? Also, Cleveland wasn't "too tired", they couldn't continue winning more than 75% of their games.

I'll just note; your evidence that Ozzie sucks is that in 05, when we got on a bad streak, we played just over .500 ball for a month and a half.

holy f*** Alexei. Ever see a curve ball before?

alexei just missed a hanging slider

Need a double here, Alexei.

A-Lexx-eee!!!!!!

Quentin is not a clogger, I'm not sure why people lump him in with Thome-Dye-Konerko-AJ.

I never said he was, but surrounding him with AJ, Thome, Dye, and Konerko does nothing to help the team.

 

I'd put Getz-Alexei-Thome-Quentin as our 1-4 to have a speed guy in front of him and an OBP guy in front of him.

Olivo throwing?

LET IT HIT YOU. COME ON.

 

lol

Alexei should have let that hit him.

oh my god.

Bobbles the ball!

yes ball bobbled!

Oh boy.

why are they teasing us like this?

e6

Nice, now Spring Training Babe Ruth

Oh great, Brian Anderson gets the at bat to tie. This won't end well.

...pulse...

 

Alexei making contact on breaking ball = improvement

Royals baseball...do it to it

Alexei still can't hit or recognize a curve. If that's the case, I don't know why he isn't waiting for the fastball. That's all I would do. Gordon with the error which saves Alexei's ass.

Do it Betemit!

Olivo throwing?

Brent's nickname should be Jimmy John, because he's freaky fast.
