Geez! Lil'Bridge just missed one the last time up, but not this time. Pretty good week for him thus far!

As the Yankees' broadcasters refer to him, "home run by Lilliquist."

 

Remembering the former Braves and Indians hurler.

It has something to do with Clay Rapada and his 21.00 ERA

 

That is the type of guy they do not hit at all like Brad Penny!

He'll never make it to the majors.

 

No kidding.

I'm calling a walk-off homer by Sizemore in the bottom of the 9th for the Tribe.

 

 

You have to give Lillibridge credit for taking advantage of the opportunities provided him by Ozzie. Milledge is sulking down in AAA with a .500 OPS after his bat was pretty hot this spring.

No kidding.

I'd just like to see him become decent trade bait again.

I remember when the Sox just had to draft him future stud.

No way that happens, as if he miraculously turns it around, we'd probably keep him. Flowers is the same way.

Baseball is a funny game when Brent Lillibridge has as many HR as Adam Dunn.

Crain's ready to give that run back. Need a DP by Lee or Vlad.

How many young players have we drafted and ruined because we can't develop talent through the minors. Wonder how Jordan Danks would've done in the Twins or BoSox organization, same goes for Beckham and Flowers

Well, we didn't draft Flowers. However, our organization's absolute inability to develop offensive players is baffling. Funny that it's basically all a bunch of white boys that can't hit a fastball. Be nice to spend some more money on Latin American players.

He's just not a 15 million dollar a year pitcher to me.

 

He's a long way from that...He gets too rattle when adversity strikes, albeit that's about everytime he pitches

Have we "ruined" them through poor instruction in the system, or was the talent never really there to begin with?

That's not a bad idea except for the fact a lot of them don't hit well in the cold weather which Chicago has plenty of.

Yeah, Starlin Castro looks awful in the cold.

wow, walkoff slam for Indians

Indians come back from 5-2 seventh inning deficit to win 9-5 in the bottom of the 9th on a Carlos Santana walk-off Grand Slam.

Beckham has hit in the majors. He hit in the minors and he hit in one of the toughest conferences in college. The swing I see looks nothing like what he came up with.

I love our defense this year

I think the Sox are just terrible at recognizing real talent.

Of course, those guys wouldn't sign here anyway, Reinsdorf is not going to pay them.

He's looks to capture lightening in a bottle and ends up with a tempest in a teapot.

 

Patetic effort by Crain here. This team f***ing sucks. At least we don't have to hear that Alexei deserves a GG this season.

I love our bullpen this year.

WOW. YET another defensive miscue leads to a big inning against our pitchers.

 

 

Anderson and Fields? There are many theories out there.

 

There have always been concerns about Flowers' big swing and possible PED's use to get a huge offensive season in the Braves' system. Danks has also had that big loping swing from the beginning, which they've tried to make more "Sweeney-esque."

 

 

Beckham's just a huge mystery. He definitely had the talent...no comparison with those other four.

 

If Thompson, Mitchell and Viciedo all fizzle, then Buddy Bell might be handed his walking papers. HOPEFULLY.

Hitting sucks

Starting pitching sucks

Relief pitching sucks

Defense sucks

Base running sucks

Managing sucks

 

 

Hard to win games when all this is true
