Alexei had a good game the other day. Viciedo's had two good at bats tonight as well.

 

 

Phil Humber definitely should be on the who's not hot list.

 

Reed on the Hot List.

 

 

Jeff Manto looks like he could be Brent Morel's dad.

Weird to think our biggest pitching weakness now is a pitcher who threw a perfect game 3 weekends ago.

I'm blaming the kid for that.

You sound like Al Bundy

Yeah, I'm not worried about them yet. They aren't like Morel, who is hitting the lightest .180 I've ever seen. As far as Escobar goes, you might as well let someone different go up there and hack -- Eduardo isn't producing more, but at least he has a little bit of pitch selection, eliminates righty-righty advantage, and swings like he wants to hit something

 

 

How does he eliminate the R/R advantage if he can't hit, lol?

 

He wants to hit something, he just can't.

 

We had a similar player a long time ago named Esteban Beltre...although Beltre had a very good arm, but similar defense-first players. Well, I'll give him credit for hustling and forcing something to happen there.

 

 

Marlins escaping another blown save. Tied 5-5 in the bottom of the 9th.

Way to go EE!

I don't see how Morel is going to be able to play with a bad back. Can you imagine all the pressure on the back taking grounders and swinging as hard as he does?

 

Man on third nobody out. Nice.

This looks like what would happen to us last year.

EE > BM

De Aza's nearly hurt himself badly three times this week on slides.

De Aza's nearly hurt himself badly three times this week on slides.

 

His slides are always an adventure.

DeAza with an 829 OPS now and going almost as good as in 2011. Along with Santos, the best move that KW has made the last 3 years, and even if Humber never recovers again from this tailspin, he was very useful the first half of last year.

 

 

Darvish will come back after a long rain delay in TEX. CJ Wilson won't return.

Gordon just fouled off a shoulder high 100 mph fastball with 1 hand, lol

Even on the out, Beckham looked really tough at the plate.

This looks like what would happen to us last year.

 

That's exactly right.

End the streak ! No K !

Former Sox farmhand Frank Franscisco gives up two runs in the bottom of the 9th for the walkoff victory to MIA.

 

C'mon Adam, no K here. Make contact against a LHP.

 

Breaks the consecutive games with a K string (hopefully). Gotten on base all four times tonight.

That should be the end of bad press for Adam Dunn.

Dunn at 1.030 OPS, Konerko at 986.

 

 

Tough night for Paulie.

Paulie looking a bit off, nice to see us able to win when he doesn't contribute

Jesse Crain and Santiago or Ohman to the Red Sox for Youkilis...Red Sox eat a decent-sized chunk of the contract.

 

Maybe that would work. The Red Sox really need middle/set-up relief help desperately. V. Padilla can't be trusted with a 3 run lead.

 

 

DeJesus just hit a GS (his first HR of the season) for the Cubs.

The main way to get the BoSox to go along with something is offering salary relief for them, I'd think. Allows them flexibility to make subsequent acquisitions.

Probably have to include Morel to give them someone with a shot at beig their 3b replacement.

Middlebrooks is making some errors there, had a key one tonight.

 

But he's hitting well.

 

 

110 pitches for Floyd. Not good...bringing in Thornton here I think.
