Rally killers, this is on the offense.

I hate Adam Dunn. My least favorite "stud" that we've had in a long, long time.

Why couldn't you just strikeout Adam?

Would anyone have a problem with PK being the DH and Dunn playing first? I really think he's better when he plays the field

 

Not really. Don't have a problem with that. For me moving Beckham to the 2 hole and Youk who has fallen off a clif down a bit and moving Rios to third, Dunn to 4th and kong to 5th with Aj, the Youk splitting the Cubans.

Baseball is a game of inches. Oh wait, that's football.

I will say that Haren's pitching acumen is off the charts.

 

Also, thanks for hustling Paul!

lol Paulie so slow.

Damn I think I'm going to start calling Paulie "Molasses".

lol Paulie so slow.

 

There's no way he hustled out of the box, he makes his poor speed a self fulfilling prophecy by never running hard

At some point it would be nice to see the sox look to balance the equation a bit with our offense. It's the same issue as we have seen for years. When we click we hit home runs and score in bunches. When we go cold it's a series of pop ups and almost warning track shots. We need to be able to sustain the ability to score to help out the pitching. It can't be where the pitching has to be perfect to win. Look at what we've become. A pitcher has a qs and we lament what a bad outing he had. 4 runs and we start to look at tomorrow's matchups. That's sad. The offense needs to pick it up now.

 

That's all on Kenny. Even the players he brings from the outside are power first guys.

 

Paulie should petition to be able to use a Segway in the batter's box. Maybe he'd be able to beat out some of those close plays.

Stop being so negative

Wow, this thread is youg-ly.

 

Anyway, I hope Rick Hahn will be allowed to do what he wants in the offseason.

I calls em like I sees em!

Trout sure didn't see that slider well

Wow, this thread is youg-ly.

Well, the Sox haven't won since Hahn was "promoted", and they've also lost 4 straight since playoff tickets went on sale, I believe

Wow, this thread is youg-ly.

I hope we infest heavily on a amateur side and development. Kenny's job needs to keep Jerry out of any baseball decisions.

Will this be big news if we blow the division after getting the lead up to 3 games or is it ho hum, the Tigers are great and finally playing to their potential?

Sox score 3 this inning.

100% the Tigers started playing to their potential will be the story.

According to some at WSI who have inside info, JR is the problem in that area.

If we don't win the division it's because we choked it away. The tigers suck. We just kept them in it too long by struggling against garbage and having our O go bad this week.

That's good. I'd hate it to be the nation mocking us. I guess if the lead was 6 games it woulda been a different story, more of a choke job.

That's not how the media will report it though (which is what I thought greg was asking about)

100% the Tigers started playing to their potential will be the story.

 

Absolutely. The White Sox are an afterthought.

 

It'll be Tigers finally came around, Cabrera MVP, Verlander, Leyland...and how can we blame the media for taking that stance? I wouldn't.
