And his ERA balloons to 1.90

1.89

Alexei's best night at the plate all season.

Well said

If Manto and Ventura think its best for him in the bigs that's there call, but they have to have a line drawn somewhere in their minds.

And his ERA balloons to 1.90

Send him to the pen!

change your mind yet?

 

No, why? I was actually going conservative. I bet a lot of fans would have liked to see Jake pitch 8.

So Peavy and Dempster to start against each other in the All-Star Game?

Know who hasn't been awful lately?

 

Will Ohman.

Have to get Viciedo going somehow.

 

Seemed he was getting over the hump and now he's trending backwards again.

Indians starting pitchers bad match-up for him, as most of them rely on their fastball it seems. I think facing a soft-tossing lefty is just what Viciedo needs to get going again.

Sox miss Verlander, Weaver and Garza in upcoming series next week. Do get CJ Wilson and Dempster.

.416 OBP vs RHP, .200 vs LHP

 

Ok, well the guy you want to platoon him with(Lillibridge) hasnt gotten a hit againt lefties yet. So why bother?

I'm not crazy about Jones' Keith Foulke-like delivery.

 

Why does he pitch that way?

Well played game all around for the Sox. Makes tomorrow day off pretty sweet.

Split should of been 3 of 4.

Why does any pitcher pitch the way they do?? Just needed to nit pick about somethin right....Great win for the Sox as they split the series and are only 3 games outta 1st.

 

 

 

I think we have been pretty good at developing bullpen arms the last few seasons. With that 97 mph heat, Nate Jones is starting to look eerily similar to Sergio Santos.

Jesse Crain's got a similar style (more similar than Jones' in fact), why aren't you complaining about him?

He is much more talented than Sergio Santos.

Yeah I'm nitpicking. Sure I am.

DeAza is hitting.285 and Lexi got three hits. Nice.

Attendance is down everywhere in Soxdom.

They can take care of the apathy by continuing to play like this. Down 0-2 in the series they showed some fight to finish it 2-2.

A lot of people here are only happy when they have something to complain about. Myself included - I like to complain about those posters.

If Greg straightened out Jones' mechanics, he'd probably be throwing 98-101 regularly with Maddux-like control.

 

Get Him to the Greek/USCF.

His mechanics also make him much harder to pick up.

We do have some good young arms in the pen with some vets there to stabillize it. The youngsters at times can be a bit inconsistent but overall the pitching has been really strong
