Nice, Jake doesn't got the velocity but he's got the control which is better, everything is strike one

Push Peavy as long as he can go, there's nothing wrong with that...you just have to have someone close to ready in the bullpen so that if he gets in trouble, you can pull him before it totally implodes. If he can go 8, great, but don't lose the game trying to make him go 7.

this is the make or break inning for Peavy here, top of the lineup coming, let's see what he got.

How does a five pitch inning work

Has anyone been hurt more with the move to the new ballpark than Mauer? IIRC he had 28 HR's in his last season at the Metrodome, I don't think he's hit more than 10 HR's since.

I'd give him one more inning, and then let the pen close it out.

The twins are bad. A month ago I thought they had a real shot at this division.

I think judging from the past 2 starts, the 75 pitch barrier no longer an issue for Jake, let's see how he fares further in the pitch count. Gameday has Peavy avg 90 mph just once which came in the 2nd inning, other than that he's at 89 the rest of the innings, so doesn't look like he's getting stronger as the game goes on, atleast velocit wise. Seems like he's hitting his spots and keeping the hitters off balance by changing speeds.

the entire division is bad

Sounds like Konerko is genuinely concerned about his left knee.

He's at what, 80 pitches? Pitch him until his arm gives out for the day. Especially now that we're back to a 6 man pen.

Lexi would be such a better hitter if he learn to level out his swing....

And like someone pointed out earlier, he should be even stronger next year. I expect big things from him.

Only first deck, unfortunately.

Looks like Lexi leveled out his swing there.

The way the Sox are playing now....I can see us in first place by the end of August.

If we don't make it by the end of the month, I think we'll overtake them during the Labor Day weekend series.

I missed it, what were they talking about with regards to this?
