I hope Dunn gets up with a man on in the 9th

Unbelievable how thin Herm is

Well, that's no good.

Please be ok, Dayan.

Tank looks hurt

Second time the Sox have turned into Porcello running fastballs.

 

Lots of movement on his pitches today. PR for Dayan. Got hit right on the elbow.

 

Morel to 3B probably, Lilly to LF. No Fukudome yet.

Curse of Morel Hopefully Viciedo is ok

See Jake you jinxed Viciedo comparing him to Q.

Please be ok, Dayan.

 

He's going to have quite the bruise

Morel has to come in. He'll play third with Lilli going to left. The other choice was Fukudome, but he's more valuable to pinch hit.

Let's go T-Flow! Show us some of that power

Really nice eye by Flowers. Beckham's hand looks to still be bugging him. Hopefully we don't turn into the Brewers this weekend.

Good riddance Porcello

Based on evidence from what world?

 

Axelrod's a pitcher and a battler. You have to love any 30th round draft pick who gets released and makes it to the majors.

 

Seriously, something has been wrong with Stewart physically since ST.

 

Is it really that outlandish a statement that Stewart is better than Axelrod?

Dotel loves the longball....let's go

Three years ago, you were excited to have Beckham bat in this situation.

Need some serious clutchness here.

Gordon was not thinking base hit there, at all

Had some good pitches to hit. The offense just struggling like crazy to score without hitting a home run, as the approach with RISP is terrible.

ADA now 3-30 on the year vs LHP. Hawk with his 4th misjudge of the series.

Wasted opps.

Right now, it's pretty easy for opposing managers to bring in lefty relievers to get ADA and Dunn out. By having to use Lillibridge at 3b cause Morel sucks, it's really negating Ventura's options. That's why getting someone who can back-up at 3rd base for Morel and sending down Escobar is pretty critical right now.

This should be fun.

Regardless of the outcome today, anyone who doesn't think this is a rebuilding year just needs to see who we're putting on the mound today. This is a big outing for Santiago here, as if he struggles in middle relief, then you think about sending him to the minors to stretch out until Thornton is dealt.
