Let's go Manny. Drive him home.

Wow, crowd didn't even really react to Manny coming to the plate for his first AB. What a change over the last 72 hours regarding the excitement level.

Manny overpowered by 88 mph fastballs there.

Nice base hit.

 

 

Real quick, can anyone tell me where Hawk has been the last few games?

No one gives a s*** anymore. The Sox crapped the bed once again in the 2nd half. What do you expect?

joke

Did Carlos forget how to hit? ugh.

It's true, this crowd is dead. Sadly, we have to listen to Mike Huff, who's just atrocious as an announcer. And it never gets old watching Quentin look clueless against LHP.

He has no chance against lefties. His approach is horrible against LHP, as he doesn't clear his hips. Thus, he swings all upper body.

shocking - a lead off double and nothing to show for it. But if KC gets a lead off walk, they'll score.

Wow these guys have just completely given up....

Rios made that look easy.

What does it mean to clear your hips when hitting?

 

If he has no chance, we should just start Jones against lefties.

great play by rios.....

 

carmona only 4 outs away from beating the twins....THIS GAME IS MUST WIN

Basically, he has no flexibility in his swing. He can't pull the ball with authority against LHP because he's swinging against the weight of his entire body. At least against righties, he clears his front side and can pull the ball with authority. I would play Andruw over CQ every game against LHP, no doubt.

Fausto shutting them down. One more inning to hold them.

Carlos Quentin has got to be the single most frustrating player to follow on the team. So much potential and not a lot to show for it. I wonder what his problem is?

I don't know, but he's such a liability in the field and on the road and against LHP that I'll be totally ok with it if we trade him this offseason.

Therein lies the problem...when Q isn't hitting for crap he's trying to pull EVERYTHING. God forbid he takes the ball the other way...or Greg Walkers beats it into his head.

MOREL! Holy cow, good for you.

congrats!

he couldn't help but grin going around the bases. nice job young man.

Doesn't he still have a torn labrum?
