Nice inning by the Stewartess! Score 4 runs this inning and then bring in Hector Screwball.

Good inning for Stewart.

Looks like the velo is down a bit for Stewart. Nice play AJ

 

 

It is a bit strange. Considering his history as a reliever, you'd expect he would throw 92-94 MPH out of the bullpen.

 

Instead, he's at 90-91. Unless he's one of those guys whose fastballs flatten out and have less movement at higher velocities, whereas the sinking fastball is more effective in the low 90's, like what we usually saw out of Jon Garland.

 

At least it was 3 up, 3 down. Bullpen continues to impress, 3 IP and no runs surrendered. Especially considering it's the last two members of our pen against one of the two best offenses in the game.

I support this plan

Stewart's velocity was down, but seemed to have decent downward movement.

Cabrera playing solid D at third makes me hate him even more than I already do haha

Don't think we'll see Papa Grande Valverde in this game.

 

Not with Porcello retiring 10 in a row and pitch count in the 80's still.

 

Cabrera with a great defensive play at 3rd. Fukudome loses a double there, tough luck.

 

Except for trying to make a bare-handed play on a ball he could have gloved and thrown, Cabrera has played very very well at third, much more comfortable and far better than expected.

 

Valverde's warming, so we at least have a final chance against a new pitcher.

Jesus Cabrera.

VICIEDO! So much fun watching him as a full-time starter

He won't be as bad as people think at 3rd. It's his range that is brutal. Everything else should be acceptable.

Atta boy, Dayan.

 

Big swing, big pop. Swing hard in case you hit it. Too bad Cabrera made that play or suddenly it would be a very close game, 3-2.

Hawk does his "stretch" call on balls that don't even get to the warning track but he had no idea that one was out of there haha

Don't stop now boys!

Always fun to think of him playing RF against the Cubs during the Bartman series. It wasn't always pretty, but he made some ridiculous catches.

 

YES!

 

Good...was hoping we would avoid our second shutout in the first 8 games.

Thanks Viciedo. That is one run. Just need 3 more.

 

That was a huge hit by Escobar, as it at least guarantees Konerko gets up in the 9th.

Nice single and AB by Mr. Eduardo!

 

Chance for Alejandro to pop one out to tie it up.

 

Finally, 3 good swings in one inning off Porcello, finally ran out of gas.

 

At the very least, we're fighting back and putting an ounce of doubt in the Tiggers.

Crap. Jimmy didn't leave him in there too long like he did with Zoolander. Tying run up to bat and winning run in the on deck circle. Score 3 more and then can bring in Hector Screwball.

Escobar now with hits in both starts...and in both games there weren't many Sox hits to go around.

Better watch out Bacon..Escobar is starting to heat up.

I disagree...I would have left him in if I was Leyland.

 

I'm thrilled they pulled him...

Alright Brent... Nice and easy. No first pitch swinging...

Come on Brent, let one hit you.
