Nice AB Dunn. Couldn't you have just struck out again?

Why can't Rios hit 3rd

I had some Cubs fan telling me he was playing IF the other day.

 

Please tell me that you haven't gone through life believing everything Cubs fans tell you.

 

:stick

Been asking that for awhile now. No reason to bat Dunn 3rd.

LOL, seriously. He has had more GIDP than normal recently. I miss the strikeouts.

Especially against LHP, it's ridiculous

40 pitches for Diamond in 4 innings

Seriously, with the amount of doubles Rios hits it's not like he'd be taking anything away from Konerko and Dunn.

Id rather just switch Paulie & Dunn, Rios is very comfortable in that 5 spot.

 

Paulie

Dunn

Rios

The Sox get stuck playing 16 of 19 on the road, get swept in Detroit, and if you go down the roster, except for Rios, just about everyone has struggled mightily at some point recently, yet they still are in first place. It's truly amazing.

No but this was at the game on the 30th. We were all guessing where he got shipped to(he got traded during the game). I thought maybe he got moved here and this fat guy infront of me said he plays IF.

PK back in a little slump again. Gotta get the 2-3-4 going again.

Yep, that's why yesterday was so big, as it guaranteed Sox would be returning home in first place on Friday night.

At least there are signs of life though, I feel like Pauly is going to go on a tear at the end of the year.

Some home cooking should do the trick.

 

Its been just a brutal schedule for us coming out of the break.

I remember watching Peavy pitch a game against the Dodgers when he was hitting 96 in the bottom of the 8th with some filthy breaking stuff. Threw a 2 or 3 hit shutout. I'm impressed with how he still pitches so well with such a drop in velocity.

 

I believe its the 3/4 delivery of his that makes him so good. Yea he was lights out throwing the high heat, but his unique delivery makes him very hard to hit. I think most of his struggles that stemmed from his injuries was the fact he wasn't able to get his mechanics back to where it used to be.

Rios needs to be batting 3rd. He has been our most consistent hitter all year. No reason to have Dunn hitting in the 3 spot. I have never understood that.

Yep. Switch Rios and Dunn and I bet this line-up becomes a lot better.

As frustrating as Dunn can be, he walks a ton, and you waste a lot of his walks if you don't have your two bets hitters batting AFTER him.

 

Also don't want Dunn and AJ hitting back-to-back. AJ sees less LOOGYs in the late innings because they won't stay in to face Konerko-Rios after Dunn.

Nice play by Youkilis

Mike Fontenot was designated for assignment

Rios-Dunn-Konerko then. Rios is the best bat on this club right now.

He would have to be an upgrade over Hudson/Olmedo, wouldn't he?
