Was that sarcasm about Morel or did he make a good play?

He took away a probable double play ball from Alexei by diving for a ball that was not his ball to take. Then he booted it, of course.

If a 3B can step in front of a SS to make a play you do it. It was certainly his ball to play.

I love stacking the lineup with righties even though Porcello really struggles against LHP. Hell, give me De Aza in CF over the K/DP machine in Rios.

Are the Sox trying to get no hit this season?

Rookie called strike.

Where the f*** was that ball?

Not if you have to leave your feet. The entire purpose is to field the ball more quickly than it would take to reach the ss. If you have to dive and you still don't have a good chance to field the ball, and your ss is amongst the best in the league, then no, it's not your ball to play.

Ugh

It's a rule that any Sox hitter from our minor league must come up to the big league squad and look overmatched.

They are trying to make you hold your breath for as many days as possible

Which is one of the biggest differences between the Sox and that team in 1st place

You'd think Ozzie's beloved rotating DH idea would have had our players play with more energy at the end of the year instead of allowing another annual fizzle.

This offense has been horrid the last 3 games, they look completely uninterested, looking to just pack it in. Why not just crown the Twins AL Central champs again, unbelievable....

Morel was trying to make a play. A play that was well within his rights to attempt whether he dove or not.

Completely accurate...hey, at least the guy in the front office that said having lefties in the lineup wasn't important because of our possible postseason match-ups can't say he never said that thanks to The Club.

Viciedo says hello.

this game just became little leauge

Well, Gavin has nothing, they are hitting everything he has thrown.

Team Dead

Another great play by Morel.

You have to admire the Sox winning 7 games in a row on the road, but it was like as soon as they lost a game and the Twins won that day, their bubble completely burst. We started seeing a lot of acceptance from the players with regards to what was likely to happen. Not that I blame them really, as the Twins are an absolute machine right now.

And to think there are still people on this site that think Carlos is a decent fielder.

I think Quentin has more errors since the ASB than home runs.

He either has to be the DH next season or traded.

Morel appears to have a face only a mother can love, and his game looks horrible with the small sample size
