Real nice jump there by De Aza.

Way to go Gordon and De Aza!

Good things can happen when you make contact.

That made me feel all warm inside.

 

Now Adam should visit the Bullpen Sports Bar.

Beckham nearly got called out there and got the benefit of the call.

 

FOXTRAX says the pitch b4 to Gordon was clearly a strike...meanwhile, great improvement from Gordon considering he was at .153 just ten days ago.

I am also ok with a double.

 

Apparently Adam was implanted with a new appendix in the offseason.

So caulfield, was that Beckham stat about fastballs saying he's hit well against fastballs or hit poorly?

Bad luck for Adam Dunn there, should have had two RBI's.

 

So much for Dunn's bat speed. If Paulie can pick up the final runs, it would be huge to give Gavin four runs to work with an add another 2 out RBI.

676 against fastballs, about 100 points lower against all other pitches.

 

For Dayan, I'm sure it's the opposite. I don't really think it's a question of Dayan's bat speed, it's the fact that his swing path is so long (like Dunn's or Lillibridge's) that he's just been in between and always a split second behind, like Dunn was seemingly all last season.

 

He's got to go up there sitting dead red...whereas it seems like he's waiting for the offspeed pitches but can't quite dial it up for the fastballs.

 

 

Great play by Gordon in LF saves 2 runs and keeps it a game.

Goodness, hell of a catch by Gordon.

Shocked to hear that there are still bleacher tickets available for the Sox games at Wrigley next week.

I am so pleased to be watching the Sox on my new 40" Tv in HD even with a recent detached retina procedure.

Could easily be 5 or 6 to nothing if not for the very good play against Viciedo by Escobar and then Gordon saving two more runs with the leaping grab...plus, he's piled up so many outfield assists and kept baserunners from advancing numerous times.

 

Floyd on cruise control again the last couple of innings.

 

Don't stop now boys. Need to get AJ and Rios going again, as well as the Cubanos.

Oh man, glad to hear you're ok

He'll be fine in the bullpen the rest of the year.

Gracias

Wonder when/if they'll consider moving Dan Johnson back to 3B?

 

Yeah, that will be never.

Fixed

 

 

Okay, it was hard to tell what happened from the Royals' feed there...Lefebvre was going crazy, surprised he caught it and expecting it to fall in.

Yeah, that will be never.

 

 

Well, they have to do SOMETHING about Morel/Escobar. They can't bring up Kuhn or Corey Smith.

 

Lillibridge I guess is the only option, but he hasn't shown much offensively, except for his stolen bases.

 

 

 

Someone in Texas royally screwed up. Darvish and CJ Wilson both started and then that game's in danger of being a really long rain delay (in the bottom of the 1st) and both starters scrubbed.

I feel like this is a cryptic message

Well, they have to do SOMETHING about Morel/Escobar. They can't bring up Kuhn or Corey Smith.

 

SOMETHING isn't going to be converting a 1b to third. And I wouldn't get my hopes up about Dallas either, that guy is just a hitter at this point. He couldn't hack it at third.

 

It is most likely Morel or bust, save a trade

Didn't you hear we're trading for Youkilis?

Gavin is just mowing them down right now. This is nice.
