No time like the present to drive Liriano's value down in the trade market and then snatch him up from the Twins tomorrow

 

 

GO SOX!!!

f***... going up against Liriano tonight?... The guy who last no hit the Sox? Freaking phenomenal.

Hopefully Floyd pitches like he did his last start against the Twins, unlike he has against them the past couple of years.

Floyd vs liriano? already seen this movie

 

SPOILER:

 

the ending sucked

If you guys are hoping for a team turnaround, you'll have to wait at least another game...

LIRIANO IS SPANISH FOR TORN ELBOW LIGAMENT!

Let's endeavor to win this thing

LIRIANO IS SPANISH FOR TORN ELBOW LIGAMENT!

I've pissed in all 10,000 of Minnesota's lakes!

Go go Gavy victory!

Just win baby!

This will not go well... He could no hit them again. Or at the very least it will be a dominant start. This could be his last chance to make an impression and get traded to a contender so he'll wanna pitch his ass off and he's owned the Sox in the past. Just so much could go wrong tonight, I'm afraid to watch... But I will anyway.

It starts with Gavin. Keep it close and we can strike against their bullpen.

f*** that s***. Knock Liriano out in the 3rd inning and smash these b****-made Twins so we can get back to winning.

If Dunn starts, you can pencil him in for a hitless night.

All they can hope is Liriano walks the yard.

Or he gets traded sometime in the next 6 hours.

Been two weeks since a home game. Let's get a win.

Prove us wrong Dunn. Ventura sure does like this particular lineup.

Can't wait for the Sox to miss the second wildcard by one game because Ventura refused to make lineup adjustments.

1. I much prefer this to the Ozzie-generated random lineup generator.

 

2. This regular lineup was clicking along nicely until this road trip. Changing it now is silly and will make things worse, not better.

 

3. That all said, I do think Dunn needs a day off, and this seems as good a game as any.

I keep seeing people say this, but nothing seems to be changing with the offense. How long do you wait to make changes then?

It's subjective and hard to argue.

 

In this case, I don't see how having different lineups vs lefties and righties is going to be a slap in the face to these guys. They're supposed to be professionals.

 

Even if it's flipping Dunn and Rios and Viciedo and AJ against lefties, it shouldn't be a big deal.

 

Finding every little edge throughout the season is what separates playoff teams from teams that go home.

A lot longer than a single road trip!

 

This "nothing seems to be changing" thing is just silly in this time frame. Changing the lineup (other than giving a day off to players here and there) isn't something you do based on one road/home stand. You do that, and you reduce your chances of getting back to the rhythm they HAD before the ASB, which was good.

 

f*** the Twins and the horse they rode in on.
