We are only a couple of hours from game time, and line ups are out, so I am getting this up.

 

RT @MDGonzales Sox lineup; pierre lf, ramirez ss. Q dh, PK 1v, rios cf, castro c, lillibridge rf, beckham 2b, morel 3b, floyd p: Dunn day off in advance

BRENT MOREL PLAYING 2 GAMES IN A ROW IS SOCIALISM

Morel had a hit and an rbi yesterday. I thought for sure he would be punished.

and looks like Bos is getting off to a nice early start against Cle.

 

Solid win last night, with a bullpen dump game like that in a stretch of many games without a day of it's so important to win.

 

honestly, are the Sox saying Jeff Marquez would do worse than Pena? At least it would be a different guy being terrible, that alone is worth something!

GO SOX

Dunn day off in advance

It must be hard to DH everyday.

With a win today and a Royals loss, the Sox would leapfrog the Royals for third place and be right in the Tigers rear view mirror.

 

Get it done. Smoke C.J. Wilson.

Dunn had a good night last night. Maybe this is more to give Quentin a little rest from the field but to keep his bat in there.

Getting to 3 under .500, and 8 games out would look pretty good.

 

Let's do it.

Would love to get 7 strong out of Gavin. Rest the pen a little.

 

A laugher would also be nice so I can relax haha, but facing a good lefty, it's doubtful...

The interesting part could be who closes tonight if it comes up. Multiple innings out of Santos, could challenge the idea of bringing him back again tonight.

It'd be really bad to have to use Sergio again today. Did Crain throw last night?

Everyone threw last night.

Not really multiple innings, just a four out save. Mariano does it all the time.

Or this morning. Good day for amphetamines.

Sergio is also a guy whose highest IP total is hit by most little leaguers.

Ohman 1.0

Pena, T 1.0

Sale 1.0

Crain 1.0

Thornton 0.2

Santos 1.1

I would think that once a guy seems to be putting it back together witnerss the walks and RBI single and mammoth homer in the last few games then you would leave him in, but I guess not

Or hitting lefties. Does he have a hit off a lefty all year?

After a long day last night and facing a LHP today I can't complain. It also rests quentins legs and gets lillibridge's 1.000+ OPS in may and improved defense into the lineup.

I hope the Sox win this game!

Good start, Pierre.

 

I know he was getting a better, but didn't know he had a 10 game hit streak. Decent.

Alexei has become a DP machine. He seemed a little pull happy last night.

He's been wearing out that gap between 3rd and SS, the problem is the DP's if he doesn't hit the gap.
