fathom Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Of course...Tigers have it rolling right now. Gotta win tomorrow. Aren't going to win many games when Youkilis, Dunn and Konerko play as badly as they did tonight. Edited July 21, 2012 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Tigers playing great outfield defense tonight even, Boesch on AJ and then that play by Berry. Detroit is a steamroller for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 08:48 PM) Biggest game of Chris Sale's young career tmrw. Trying to hold off the Tigers, winners of 11/13, for first place. In front of an SRO sold out crowd on national tv/FOX. Tigers got their A game going. If the Sox win 1, they are still in first.

greg775 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Sox got the 2 runs and then suddenly Detroit woke up and dominated. Bad game. I'm surprised nobody has started a thread, "Peavy is not an ace." like all the Buehlre is not an ace threads of the past. 3-5 road trip; worst trip in a while.

mmmmmbeeer Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 That is one arrogant ass 2nd place team. Big Potato has to be my least favorite pitcher in the league. This was their best chance of taking a game in this series and they did it....props to them....let's see how the next 2 go when the Sox have the pitching advantage.

Peavy's giving up a ton of hits compared to his first 14 starts of the year. Something like giving up 8 or more hits in 4 of his last 5 starts after only doing it twice in his first 14 starts.

caulfield12 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Greg, I suppose the Royals would have batted Verlander around when he was throwing 97-100 in the 7th and 8th? Tip your caps. 4 two out runs scored. Not that they were great pitches (any of them) by Peavy. Great job Donnie Veal, someone finally bowed their neck down there and fought back.

greg775 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 QUOTE (Caesar @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 01:36 AM) Please do not pick up Peavys option next year. He is not a high pressure pitcher. He never has been. Time to really think about the direction of this franchise. This team doesn't have a chance to make the playoffs. Wow. Caesar is king of the message board with posts like that. Yikes. QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 02:17 AM) Peavy's absolutely gassed. These pitch counts for Peavy are crazy. Isn't his contract up after this year. If so, it's obvious the Sox don't care if he uses the ol arm up this year. QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 02:30 AM) Beckham is back to being bad at the plate. Looks completely lost. Beckham is to the point, I think of him as Getz. He's just another guy (offensively). Defensively he's pretty special, but the man is just another guy offensively. Would any of you actually be upset if like Fathom suggests he's traded in the offseason as a change of scenery trade? I wouldn't mind. You can always find a second baseman. QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 02:40 AM) Wow. Our pen is a LOT worse than I thought. Our pen has been average at best to below average ever since Joe Morgan years ago said it was the best in baseball history or whatever he said. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 02:59 AM) Man, you would think we just faced the best pitcher in the AL. You pick out my post to use as an example of negativity when Caesar and that other guy were proclaiming the game over for the second night in a row before the fifth inning? I'm the optimist of all time compared to them.

Chisoxfn Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Right now I'm most concerned with the fact that we seem to have been overworking Peavy and some of our starters lately. This lack of experienced relievers is hurting the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
