according to tribe announcers, contreras' ERA in the 4th = 11.00

No it won't. Beckham really should be batting 6th in this lineup. Castro 8th.

 

or even better have him hit ninth....that AB didnt look very good

looks like that may be going down a little bit after this 4th

I also don't want to see Beckham bunting, he should swing away. He is a gap to gap hitter, having him bunt is a joke.

 

totally agree especially with the way he's been swinging the bat lately

Anytime the sox want to put this crappy pitcher away is fine by me. He is garbage, lets not make him into something he isn't.

 

after years of crushing the guys we shouldn't and being embarrassed by the guys we should crush....why stop now?

 

Sox are hitting the ball hard tonight, but the ball isn't jumping at all.

I think that was Becks call, not ozzies. we'd be praising how intelligent it was to bunt seeing the corners playing deep had he succeeded.

Castro has blown so far, yes, but I want BA to get used to the 9hole and a just-get-on-base-and-turn-the-lineup-over mentality. He'll never be a run producer, so don't put him where he needs to be that, as Ozzie has, batting him 7th so frequently, with Beckham below.

 

As long as BA's in the lineup, he should bat ninth. He does the most good/least damage there.

another first pitch swing by the sox....so far only 48 pitches thrown for sowers

No, I want my doubles gap to gap hitter driving the ball not playing NL bunt and pray. Also considering how hot Beckham is, he is better off driving the ball and seeing what happens.

 

 

beckham with a one out double here we go.....

You just can't stop him. All you can do is convince him to try bunting.

Beckham with a rocket double.

Come on Brian, tie this thing up, make yourself not look bad again.

Anderson is out before I finished sending my post exhorting Anderson to perform.

Way too many first pitch swings against someone who has nothing on the mound.

This is the Sox. This is what we do. Our success at the plate is inversely proportional to the pitcher's ERA. We rip Lee last night, we get a pitcher with a ERA around 5 and we fall flat. We'd probably get no-hit if the opposing pitcher had a ERA of 8.

Is it me, or does this umpire have the biggest strike zone ever?

No what?

Beckham.. you can't stop him. You can only hope to contain him....

great save by Cabrera

Need a hit from Alexei here.

Crap, Cabrera makes a nice play to save the run. Don't get picked off Pods!

pods with an infield single come on alexei big run out there

BA's horrible.
