Adam Dunn is 3-for-6 with 1 HR and 6 RBIs vs. Carmona in 2011. Quentin is 3-for-4 with 2 HR and 5 RBIs vs. Carmona in 2011.

Was that his opening day, appendix-present HR?

I'm fine with him playing next two games against extreme sinker ballers.

 

But as soon as Viciedo shows he's fully recovered (HRed last night for the first time in awhile), he needs to be in that same position in that lineup.

 

And that lineup could actually be decent. De Aza should have been helping us a month earlier, but oh well. So far, the callups, ADA and TFlow have been up to the task.

Good point, didn't think about that. If the Sox stay in the race, he really needs to play Dunn less though. At least Rios shows signs of hitting the ball hard from time to time.

More triples and wins, please.

why is Lucy starting? I like what TFlo brought

Because he caught 14 innings yesterday and had to leg out some triples.

He just caught 14 innings.

We can't afford to have Lucy be Dunn-like at the plate.

I hope he can get some hits.

plz - AJ would wear it. He's young.

We also can't afford to have TFlo catch every single day, plus extra innings, and start hitting like Lucy because of fatigue.

Ozzie usually sits AJ in situations like this as well. And Flowers doesn't have a choice anyway, Ozzie makes the lineups, as he is fond of pointing out.

White Sox trying for sole possession of second place for the first time since April 12, when they were 7-4

Didn't Lucy have a nice little run early last year and have a big game in I think Toronto?

I thought he did too. IIRC it was dismissed around here because of sample size.

Got a good feeling bout tonight. Mark, we need you to go deep buddy. In the ballgame, that is. Let me try that again. Mark, we need you to go at least 7 innings. 7 would be good.

 

I think you guys worry about bullpen overuse too much.

So we can't use Crain. All the other guys should be available.

1.178 OPS in April 2010, including a 1-3 game in TOR with a homer!

Sale is also on the shelf, or at least Ozzie says he hopes to not use him.

Konerko said if it wasn't for the taxing 14 inning game last nite he might have played 1B today. At DH instead.

 

Why isn't Lilli starting at 1B? In the words of Albert Einstein... "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

it was dismissed around here because of sample size.

 

Rightfully so. Go take a look at his minor league numbers. A hitter he is not.

Big game tonight. Masterson's pitching tomorrow, so we gotta get this one.

thome is still my homie

Has there been a worse 6-9 lineup in baseball this season? That's literally 4 pitchers.

wait until you see the catch made by Revere. Wow.

Catch(es).

 

Stuck with the Indians' broadcast tonight.

 

Hopefully I'll get to hear Rick Manning get really testy...
