He gave Viciedo a great one to hit there

Viciedo has a slider speed bat right now

Pitchtrax had that first strike in the same spot the ump wouldn't call for Sale.

 

Terrible, especially considering angle it was coming from when Sale was pitching vs Valverde

In 3 days, people will be saying "How about we try Morel again?"

 

I'll ask for Ventura to play out there before Morel

 

 

Well we battled in the ninth. Brought the tying run up to the plate and kept it interesting. Just wasn't meant to be.

 

Didn't like the pitching changes, but we also only scored two runs. Thus, a team loss. Cannot win them all, try again tomorrow against the O's. Humber's debut.

 

Series win against the Tigers. Ill take it.

Do you call Ranger a lot?

 

No. Kenny, I don't,

Talent deficient? Seriously...this has to be a joke right?

 

No, I'm not joking.

Morel is not major league ballplayer.

Name me one contending team where he's starts...just one

You silly geese on this site need to watch other teams play.

Reinsdorf has just deluded your senses as to what constitutes quality baseball.

Give him you hard-earned money because you appreciate the game....what a load

The same player who was part of the team with the 6th best record in the majors coming into today.

 

Who'd gone 3-2 against the two best teams in the AL (Rangers and Tigers) before this game.

 

Where were you the last 4 games?

 

I can name 29 other teams with players that are struggling. Which teams have the "perfect" line-up that you're talking about, not named the Tigers, Angels, Yankees or Rangers?

 

Did you really expect us to be competing with those teams coming into 2012?

 

Have you watched the Mariners, A's or Twins play this season? The Indians before this series in KC? The Cubs? The Marlins?

 

Which teams do you support with your hard-earned money?

 

 

s***, forgot to get my customary line in after a Detroit win....

 

Jose Valverde is a real piece of s***

I think Ramirez should bat 2nd, as I think he won't let batting 2nd impact his approach. I thought from day one Morel batting 2nd was just a recipe for disaster.

Either bat Ramirez or Escobar second. Morel should bat ninth. Maybe Morel can hit like he did late last season batting low in the lineup.

 

Beckham should be in the minors working on his swing. If he can't get his old swing back, I still think he has a career as an excellent utility infielder.

Funny how he doesn't post when we win.

I watch plenty of other teams, and there are plenty of weak links out there...

 

Who does Nick Punto play for these days?

Exactly. At least have the testicular fortitude to be here when things don't go your way.

Red Sox

To their credit, Morel and Beckham play excellent defense. They just need to have some better ABs and be average hitters. Just average! lol!

 

For some reason, I feel more confident that Morel can break out of his slump than Beckham. There really is no answer for the #2 slot. Morel at least can bunt (I think...lol). I know that Beckham cannot bunt.

 

Maybe the answer eventually will be bench Beckham (make him your utility player) and start Escobar and/or Lillibridge and try one of them in the 2nd spot. No guarantee that works but you have to try something.

Benching Beckham won't do anything. He has to be playing regularly in Chicago or Charlotte, one or the other.

 

Escobar is definitely not the long-term solution, based on his 666 minor league OPS. Lillibridge MIGHT be, although the odds are he's better off as a limited-exposure, super utility player in the Pablo Ozuna/Craig Grebeck/Joe McEwing mold.

You're either a troll or you're just completely out of touch with what's really happening. Either way the posts you've accumulated the last week belong in the bracket of bad. Truly legendary.
