August 15, 200916 yr God the defense was TERRIBLE. Nice to see the team stick in it. The pen was awesome.
August 15, 200916 yr Thornton is just a machine out there. He makes it look easy. Alexei's coming up huge for this team while some of the big names continue to do nothing productive. Hopefully we saw Jose's last start tonight. Thanks for a strong Sox career, but it's time to hang them up.
August 15, 200916 yr Thank god, and this should be Jose's last game here. he just doesnt have it anymore.
August 15, 200916 yr Our bullpen is deadly when it's on. Nice win tonight, but depressing to see Contreras make (potentially) his last start ever for this team.

Watched some Little League World Series tonight and I swear the 12 year-olds are fundamentally better in the field than these guys are of late. Brutal is too kind a word to describe it.

August 15, 200916 yr QUOTE (son of a rude @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 12:16 AM) Didnt get to see this game. How did Rios look in CF? he had an error because he and Q had zero communication, other than that very smooth. Ugly, but a good win. DJ, Thornton, Dotel (great to see him look sharp tonight) and Bobby came through! Alexi was clutch!

Brutal is too kind a word to describe it. Like I have said all year long, it is the mental mistakes that are killing us. How can you get to the majors and not understand the game of baseball?
August 15, 200916 yr QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 12:18 AM) Like a real CF No joke. He is just beautiful out there. We haven't seen a defender out there like this for a long time.
August 15, 200916 yr We have a good bullpen, Alexei is a good hitter in big spots, Bacon is the man, Castro is a decent backup catcher. That's about all I got tonight. This game made me feel worse about our chances, if anything. At least we won though.

August 15, 200916 yr QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 01:21 AM) Rios is going to be a better defensive CF than Rowand right? Just making sure. Nobody loved Arow's balls-out defense more than me, but count me as excited to see what Rios is going to do out there.
August 15, 200916 yr even tho we won im pretty disappointed. there is no reason a 6-0 game should go like this. the errors are ridiculous

August 15, 200916 yr Carrasco has saved us three games in a row now, I believe. The man is key part of our success.

August 15, 200916 yr Would have been nice if KC coulda got a run for Greinke. Detroit is now gonna sweep that series so we better win the next two. Love to see Lexi mash the ball. Poor Jose. Cut him loose.

That’s the sign of a great defender. He doesn’t need to finish a play with a flourish; he finishes it with an out. His range will markedly improve our outfield, in ways that only BA could do before.
