SoxAce Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 08:52 PM) 2 homers for Manny Machado. 20 years old. His swing reminds me quite a bit of Hanley Ramirez. (or Carlos Beltran from the right side) Just so smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claydude14 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 CLEVELAND (AP) -- Brent Lillibridge homered, drove in two runs and scored on a squeeze bunt to back Zack McAllister's strong pitching as the Cleveland Indians beat the Boston Red Sox 5-2 on Saturday night. Lillibridge, acquired on July 24 from Boston, tied a career high with three hits. He hit his first homer in nearly a year and had an RBI single off Franklin Morales (3-2). LOL, Red Sox fans must be thrilled. Trade Youk for Lilli then have Lilli beat them as an Indian! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The Rockies signed Jeff Marquez to a minor league contract. I think Adam Dunn has a better chance of hitting .350 than Marquez ever helping the Rockies pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think management would rather Agone, Pedroia, and Lester be happy than Valentine. I doubt they will try and trade these players in order to keep Valentine on board. It was a horrible decision from the get go to hire Valentine, his style was not what this team needed, neither with the media or the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a horrible decision from the get go to hire Valentine, his style was not what this team needed, neither with the media or the team. Here's the real problem though. That team imploded under TFranc in no small part because he gave they so much rope that they hung themselves. Any change of manager would wind up being to a guy who was going to be much harder on them. Yeah, Valentine may be a particularly bad choice...but would they have had this reaction to any manager who tried to clamp down on the freedoms that created the 2011 mess? I think they would have.

I think they should have chosen a stricter Manager for sure, but Valentine's handling of team issues by airing them out in the media is downright embarrassing. there are disciplinarians that dont go to the media and tell them everything thats going on or rip on players like Valentine has. They definitely needed someone to tighten it up, but I think Valentine was a poor choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cleaned up after Ozzie, but doesn't need to hold a nightly ego-stroking press conference to talk about all of the ways he is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be able to pick apart the season, and point to different things if they come up a game or two short. If the Sox do come up short, it will more than likely come down to losing the season series against the Tigers 11-7 or getting swept in Anaheim in September, or losing 3 out of 4 vs Tampa Bay the final weekend, or losing 2 of 3 vs the Indians in the last series. But hopefully the Sox get to 90-92 wins and we don't have to worry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
