Oh, and no matter what happens tonight, I have to give Gavin some major props for showing huge balls to return so quickly from his elbow soreness. With his contract possibly up after the season, he could have easily sat out the rest of the year.

Let's win!

If Gavin Floyd is ready to rumble tonight and pitches us to awin it will make a great story

No, its not backup QB syndrome, because no one in their right mind is suggesting Johnson start. They are saying he should get some AB's in certain match-ups.

 

this is absolutely back QB syndrome, and many people are suggesting he start. and have been for months

I may not watch tonight.

 

I don't know if I can deal with Gavin walking 7 hitters in the first two innings combined with our hitters waving at Scherzer's slider a foot and a half off the plate.

Go get 'em Gavin!

 

Ack...can you please get rid of this? I'm kind of against cruelty to actual animals.

man, that is depressing

Seconded.

There may be some calling for that - I was asking for it in this specific scenario.

 

Seconded.

 

I have to agree.

 

Gone.

Gone.

I'd like to see De Aza, Wise and Ramirez all attempt one bunt tonight, somewhere during the game. Down the 3B line. I can't believe the only time we've tested Cabrera over there is with Youkilis. Scherzer is a tough pitcher, it would benefit the team to shake things up and get them off balance.

AJ tried once as well.

I don't care what you do on your own time...

A sustained productive finish to the season could benefit him greatly. If he did not come back and his option was not picked up there is a big gray area for him.

 

I think the winning team tonight wins tomorrow

 

I also could see the Sox get no hit tonight or tomorrow.

 

Let's hope Ventura doesn't have to manage as it has not been pretty recently for him.

Im just saying that you said no one in their right mind would suggest Johnson start over Viciedo, that is a months old thread stating just that.

 

 

No name confusion.

Hm. Perhaps I was a bit harsh with "no one in their right mind". But there are SOME of us who are suggesting Johnson get an occasional start when the scenario seems ideal - and in my view, tonight seems like it should be that night. Then Dunn returns tomorrow.

Wise tried one last night and missed.

I missed that one. So did he, apparently. I still think it is worth trying.

 

Hey, new poster here long time follower here at soxtalk. Grew up loving the early 90's sox since that was my first memory gives you an idea of my age, 25 here. Anyways.. just wanting to comment on the rest of this sox tigers series, was hoping we could yesterdays game with their 2 big arms pitching today and tomorrow.

 

We are still relying on the long ball got them yesterday but all solo. I feel the sox need to put the pressure on this bad tigers defense these next two games knowing that verlander and max not going to throw too many bad pitches to sox hitters ( hopefully im wrong on that) I just know Hawk and Stoney were critical in the previous series in Detroit for not laying many bunts down with Cabrera with a bum ankle, put the pressure on them were at home.. need one of these next two games. Hopefully Gavin " no emoticons" Floyd keeps his success going against the tigers. I don't have much confidence in liriano getting his control back in the pen, but will see..
