I'm still clueless as to why Stewart has lost velocity but that thing is really moving tonight

Delayed steal? How does Cabrera steal 3rd there?

 

What the heck is going on? Stewart just assumed he's not going anywhere?

Good to hear

Axelrod throws harder than Stewart.

 

Maybe he should just bring it down to the mid 80's and he'll be below the normal fastball hitting speed but a tick higher than BP.

 

Gameday had that as an 84 MPH two-seam fastball.

 

Is that even possible in the big leagues? Guess so.

 

Maybe KW should go with all "command and control" pitchers who throw in the high 80's now.

Nicely done Zach

Stewart did the job there.

 

For all the s***, he at least comes in and throws strikes. As a fan I can watch bad offense, but I can't stand watching a pitcher not throw strikes.

Our "ace" can't even make it past the 4th inning. Money well spent...

got a feeling Paulie's going yard

The problem is that Danks never really was an ace.

 

He just got that label largely because of 2008 and Game 163, but he was never in Lester or Sabathia or CJ Wilson's neighborhood.

 

He's an average #2 (obviously he's pitching worse than that this season) or a very good #3, but not really the textbook definition of an ace or stopper.

 

Maybe the contract's in his head, just like Dunn in 2011 or AJ in prior years when he was thinking too much about his future with the Sox.

works for me

C'mon Alex, DO SOMETHING

Smyly is really getting inside on our righties, need to make an adjustment

I just woke up.

 

I'm guess JDINAA still?

AJ's steady nosedive continues

Lets see if Morel can get below .180 tonight

That won't be hard, only 1 more AB. More worried about Viciedo than Morel, who I've already given up on and just preferring to be surprised by but not expecting anything more than Chris Snopek (minus the marginal power but better defense) from now on.

 

Took Bryce Harper 54 AB's to get his first homer. Hitting .236 now.

I mean at this point having Morel go against Major League Pitching is hurting him.

He needs to stay in the majors, assuming he's healthy.

This is just getting difficult to watch...why do I look forward to these games?

 

WHY DO I BOTHER?

 

(cueing the baseball gods to show me exactly why)

So he can continue to swing away at garbage? Yeah thats helpful.

Could it be that you simply just "Appreciate the Game"?

Or that he'll play so bad the Sox will be forced to find a new 3B this offseason?

Stewart getting the job done so far.

You really think they are going to continue to trot out that embarrassment at 3B? This is a professional organization. They dont operate like that.

Finally Alexei realized he'd have to get his hands in on a fastball.
