What the hell is going on with Konerko?

 

Jesus of Nazareth.

 

It would be very 2005ish if Axelrod and Santiago end up mirroring Brandon McCarthy down the stretch...but who is our Contreras?

 

FWIW, Santiago also made his debut against the Twins last year in relief....maybe both of his appearances were against them, but at least one.

 

I remember starting a thread about Hector as a 2012 starter that day...only for him to end up our closer in ST.

Beckham's ahead of Carroll, Ackley and Weeks (demoted) in OPS out of the top 20 qualified.

 

Behind "All Star" Darwin Barney.

 

Now at .648, .700 would be much better, .725 a dream.

GAS.

 

He gone.

 

Why did it take RV and Cooper so long to figure out he was SUPPOSED to be a starter, not a short reliever or LOOGY?

 

Granted, this Twins' line-up isn't exactly going to scare much of anyone in baseball, but they're pesky and have been hotter in the 2nd half of the season.

 

 

Wow. 95 MPH. Wish Sale had that velocity yesterday to keep the hitters more honest.

 

Of course. Start praising someone and they give up a bomb to Jamey Carroll.

 

Battle of light hitting 2B tonight.

Give me production, thats what I look at. Runs scored and Runs driven in, thats what wins ball games right, runs??

I'd have no problem with Santiago going back out to face Mauer. He's been great tonight.

Somehow I have a feeling that despite 80+ pitches after not starting for most of the season that Ventura will try to push Santiago through Mauer, Willingham and Morneau next inning.

 

Or will they go to Veal/Septimo?

 

Interesting decision. Probably will stay with Santiago unless Mastro whatever his name and Mauer both get on.

Too contingent on other players to be taken seriously at an individual level.

That pretty much flies in Marty34's theory that we should dump Alexei Ramirez, since he's been one of the most "productive" SS in the AL, leading the league at his position in RBI's despite hitting for a lot less power.

GAS.

 

He gone.

They really need FLoyd back to mess with the 6 man rotation.

 

weird that he stopped throwing his breaking ball

I know it's a long shot but just maybe we can trade him for Juan Pierre so he can platoon with Viciedo.

 

Can we PLEASE have a clutch 2 out RBI here?

I know Konerko's slow, but he wasn't even trying on the bases there.

weird that he stopped throwing his breaking ball

 

Interesting last night I heard commentators calling whatever Sale was throwing- a swurve some say it was a slider.

 

Our RISP luck is leveling out lately.

f***. Bad luck there.

Dammit.

 

Thought he hit a duck snort that was going to somehow fall in but it carried out there.

 

Sigh.

 

RISP problems continue to bite the Sox the last 7+ games.

Eventually we're gonna break out of this LOB slump. And it will be glorious.

I know Konerko's slow, but he wasn't even trying on the bases there.

 

He is in Paully pity mode. Where he changes things 30 times a week, shoulder shrugs, and has the woe is me thing.

OF COURSE.

 

That's just the way things have been going for us.

 

Mauer probably hits a 2 run bomb here, lol.

Almost can't watch.

 

Please God NO Jones against Willingham match-up Ventura.
