So had everyone, but Ozzie realized that Peavy is freaking terrible from about 75+ pitches on. His velocity goes noticably down, his ability to locate becomes awful, and he has all sorts of problems running that 2 seamer right over the heart of the plate. According to Yahoo hitters are hitting .448 against Peavy in pitches 76-90, and .421 in pitches 91-105, for this season. And to be honest you dont have even look at the stats to realize hes been so bad in the 5th and 6th innings this year. Its obvious the problem is weak arm/shoulder. Most likely as a result of all the injuries.

What good is shutting him down going to do? He needs to pitch and pick up some strength. Its ironic the outing that killed him was one when he was basically unhittable, the relief outing he had.

 

 

If he is fatigued as has been suggested by well...Jake himself, then the only cure for that is rest. He could just have too much tread off the tire as well.

Masterson and Liriano in 1-0 pitcher's duel.

 

Indians leading again.

 

Twins would be 8 games back after being so optimistic on Sunday.

No it's not. He just got extra rest. He needs to build up that arm.

woo hoo

Sale has failed last 2 times out.

Laying in the weeds defined by Cabrera.

 

Short and quick, study it Dunn/Rios/Beckham.

 

 

We should be preparing to send Sale down to AAA soon to start if things keep going against us.

 

We'll know in 2 more weeks for sure.

Well we cant ask this team to make up 2 runs. Thats WAY to much.

well you can send this one to Cooperstown

 

Cabrera and Treanor kill the Sox

KC has been a thorn for awhile.

another infuriating loss. damnit this team is hard to watch. except for beckham in the field.

Beckham has an error tonight.

Konerko has cooled off bigtime.

And even Beckham made an error tonight.

 

Just very mediocre defense by the Sox. In the end, though....our offense is still killing us.

 

You could have predicted it simply based on the line-up, facing an unknown pitcher with really top-notch stuff and pretty erratic control.

Beckham has an error tonight.

I blame Lexi for that one. And he's made some sweet plays as well.

someone get on base

The usual it seems:

 

- Peavy loses gas faster than anyone not named Phil Humber

- Morel has no business being in the majors

- Viciedo not being in the lineup every day is comical

- Very little power (1 homer in last 7 games, I believe)

Konerko has cooled off bigtime.

 

His swing has gotten so preventive.

Quentin just swung at 2 balls that would have hit a left handed batter.

Cy Chen on Wednesday need some runs tonight.

All Star

Strike right down the middle Carlos good job

I am all for trading CQ in the right deal.

I watch this team, and the first thing that comes to mind is....we need a righty reliever. BTW, how awful is our Morel/Teahen platoon against LHP?

If CLE throttles us this weekend at home, that could be the end.

 

5 1/2 back if things continue where they are at the moment tonight, 4 1/2 behind Tigers.
