toyed with by the mediocre twins.

He must be terrible every other game. Every time I see the guy, while not quite at Hawk's admiration level, I wish the Sox had him.

 

Agreed, and it's not like he gets cheap hits against the Sox.

Wow Beckham...I defend him more than anyone, but it might be time to try Getz/Nix at 3rd and put him at 2nd.

You know as well as I do that Getz doesn't belong at 3rd

pitching really let us down in this series.

The sox scored enough in this series to have won at least 2 of 3 but Danksy and Buerhles shat the bed

 

ugh,Beckham is terrible

Just shaking my head and laughing now.

 

 

I know. It's like what else can you do?

You know as well as I do that Getz doesn't belong at 3rd

 

And I don't think Beckham belongs at 3rd

Just becoming a comedy of errors now . Can't help but laugh at this point.

Gordon Beckham is an awful, awful third basemen. He needs to be moved ASAP.

problem is no where to put him unless you try him at 2nd

gordo's having a helluva game

Mauer having a hell of a game.

That was a pretty nice pitch by Pena there.

What has ahppended to Beckham at third? Three erros in two games. It has to be playing on that buffalo pie chip of a baseball field

I actually think Pena is a good arm to have in the bullpen. With some work he can be an asset.

I was just thinking the same thing....I think he'll be ok at 3b if they decide to keep him there...but a guy with so much offensive ability...I don't want him THIS concerned about his fielding. I'm all for moving him to 2b if Getz or Nix can handle 3b...do either of them have the arm?

 

Or is it worth going out and getting a Mark Teahan or a Scott Rolen and using Getz and Nix as utility players (and DFA'ing Wise)?

 

 

thank god mauer is such a s***ty batter

Still going to keep weighing him against Brandon Allen.

The display by our pitching staff this series is pathetic.

One tough inning for Danks....many borderline pitches in the first. Two hits after that. Think its coincidence that it was a matchup of game 163? Have you ever seen Danks walk four in a row? Just saying....little suspect.

seriously though, 8 runs in the dome can easily be made up in the last two innings.

Especially now that we've taken Thome out

If someone told you Mauer would be 0 for with 4 strikeouts today, I wouldn't think the Sox would give up 13. Josh Fields has been located.

I am not cause that will just drive your baseball mind crazy. Whats done is done and trades are a roll of the dice most of the time.

Don't look at Allen's OPS so far in AAA for Az

anything that includes DFA'ing Wise im all for

Ozzie might want to start putting in Nix for defensive purposes at 3rd base at the end of games.

That was the most confident I've seen Fields batting in a long time.
