I'll be happy enough when Ramirez can start hitting the ball with authority

Because MLB hitters can hit a 95 mph fastball over the plate, especially when they don't have to look for anything else. Callapso turned around Thornton's fastball, and they immediately changed location and tried to paint the outside corner.

 

I mean were looking at there number 9 in Aviles and he starts him off 3-0 because he wont just go after him and his .211 avg

OZZIE. KEEP THIS SAME LINEUP FOR THE NEXT THREE GAMES. MAYBE CONSISTENCY WILL HELP THIS OFFENSE.

LOUD NOISES

Will Ozzie try the squeeze here? Didn't in the 5th in same situation.

if you're not going to ask guys like Thome, Konerko, Dye to bunt, don't ask alexei to do it either

 

his mindset is along the same as theirs, power power power

Alexei is hitting under the mendoza line and then some. Asking him to bunt to help the team shouldn't be asking too much, especially since I'm sure that he's well aware how bad he's been so far this year.

Just let pods swing away.

Alexei's batting .215, I believe.

That was a goofy play. Don't get picked off Pods.

STEAL maybe?

How did Pods get a hit without scoring AJ?

Getz and Lexi looking really bad against MAhay

Getz won't get a lot of playing time against LHP with an AB like that. That was a horrendous at bat.

Made Getz expand the zone

infield hit off pitcher Pods beat it out.

 

Real bad ab by Getz there.

Well, all the more the reason why he should have been up there cutting and slashing.

We have seen way too many of those from our hitters. All we needed was something to get the runner in and they always K

Thome .221

Alexei .216

 

I've never seen Thome lay a bunt down

Ugh, Fields has got to put a better swing against LHP than he did there. Nix is going to PH for Getz if there's another situation like the one we just had.

Pathetic display with a runner on 3rd and 1 out

They are going to lose this game.

 

The Sox need to stop swinging at pitches they can not do anything with. I have been saying for the last two years that they swing at pitches they can do nothing with when they are ahead in the count. You don't need ot swing at every strike.

Wasted opportunity again, hope that does not bite Sox in the ass later on!

2 games under .500 after tonight

And there's the leadoff man on for KC. This game has some serious bad vibes going for the Sox. KC's always been a comeback machine against us.

2 games under .500 after tonight

 

Just stop

I know people want to see Getz get ABs versus LHP, but with a journeyman LH specialist on the mound, wouldn't a pinch hit by Nix have been in order in that situation? Seems like a tailor made situation.
