Jake Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Today we have the venerable Christopher Sale Perhaps he'll bring dat closer face today he's sharing the rubber with Nick Blackburn, who I expect to get an earful from that old crab Ron Gardenhire LET'S TAKE THE RUBBER MATCH BOYS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 It would be nice to see Dunn with a day off. Maybe Youkilis at first and Konerko DH? Or Danks in LF and Dayan at DH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I would rather Dayan DH and see Danks in left. I hope Sale destroys their lefthanded lineup today. I know Mauer hates hitting against him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatScott82 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 This would be a big win for the club as they head to New York for a very tough four game series. Lets give Sale some offense tonight! WAKE UP BATS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 2012 Sox winning percentage . . . when Sale starts: .643 in day games: .621 on the road: .588 vs. RHP: .585 vs. AL Central: .571 In theory, there is no game the Sox are more likely to win than Sale starting on the road during the day against an AL Central opponent with a righty starter.

Nick Blackburn is absolutely terrible, maybe he can help Dunn get on a hot streak again. Is this one of those games that, as Hawk says, "the boys will be fighting to get to the bat rack first"? Oh my, this means we're about to get shut out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Enough lefties in that lineup? They could squeeze one more in if they moved Dunn to 1B and let Sale bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkjt Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Very lefty lineup....hope it works out vs Blackburn. I do think that PK,Tank and Gordo could use the day off before heading to NYC. Now, please,can someone other than Alex,Alexei and Youk get a hit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Nick Blackburn has been absolutely pathetic this season, let's make today one of those stat padding blowouts and get all our bats back on track.
