Well, Contreras has certainly regressed post-break.

So at what point do you consider DFA Castro? He's been terrible at the plate and behind the plate.

Please.

i agree, beckham should be at ss. so...put alexei back at 2b?

 

I'd be fine with it.

Levine's about as useful as a balm bag, but there's probably some validity to this. After all, last spring training when he played the outfield, Alexei was pretty clearly afraid of the wall.

 

I don't even care about the throws going into center field. It's his lack of desire to hang in there when turning the double play that's more frustrating. Nice job Williams.

Joe Nathan time soon....

Cowley said the same thing about Pods, he said Pods plays the wall like its got an electric current running through it.

"Right now, I'd piss on a sparkplug if I thought it would help."

He should have been playin 2b for the giants... but now I say put him in CF he has all the athletic tools to be a good defender but out there at least he has another second to react when he seems to take his mid game siesta

yeah, they were saying he was afraid of the wall last night. I didn't think that was the case, and I just think he really struggles on fly balls when he has to run to a spot.

Williams did his job and I thank him for that

Couldn't agree more.

make that three that agree

Hell, he throws harder than Poreda and Jenks

Way to get us started Alexei.

i wonder if the sox will even consider letting beckham be the ss next year or it has to be alexei? its clear he shouldnt be..

Gosh, this is two different strike zones that last few innings.

I was in LF last night, almost right behind that ball in row 3 which is the first row they let people sit in. It appeared Pods was all over it initially, then he just collapsed. I was hot. I didn't think it was the wall either, he really wasn't that close to it.

No tag, Alexei?

Kotsay almost made me s*** myself there.

this game is looking like almost every effing game we play against the '27 yankees err,I mean '09 Twinkies

Kotsay is nothing and he's going to play too much.

Hawk and Stoney were begging for a hit-and-run there. Looks like we need another home run to either tie or take the lead.

Couldn't agree more. At least we sent down Fields as soon as we could so he couldn't face a LHP.

This series probably couldn't have gone worse at this point.

hmm...alexei is hurt, if hes gone for a while, beckham at ss..

Alexei is hurt.
