Alexei sucks. He's overrated. Anyone disagree?

 

I wouldn't say he sucks or is overrated. He's a bit above average, nothing special.

 

Kepp with the predictable double play. Why not go to right field there, Kepp? Lousy at bat.

Flowers had a good at bat going there....right up until he decided to try and hit something

It would be nice to see Connor batting 2nd with that line drive bat he has.

 

Wouldn't mind getting him some more at bats, but god forbid we have two lefties to lead off.

I'd feel a lot better about this game if the score was 0-0 vs. Samarjia (sp). That mental error by Lexi still chafes me.

Among AL rookies, Conor Gillaspie ranks 3rd in WAR (0.8) behind Yan Gomes (1.1) and Justin Grimm (1.0).

 

 

Everything that has been written, inferred/implied....going from the best defense in the AL to the worst with almost the exact same line-up except for AJ/Flowers and Beckham's injury.

 

Many, many more fundamentals errors, missed cutoff men, base-running....it has been endemic, and a good explanation has never been provided, beyond the carryover effect from the last 6 weeks of 2012.

 

How else can you explain it?

 

 

 

Farmer saying more Cubs fans there than Sox fans by the sounds coming from the crowd on the DP. From the noise, you would have thought the throw got away or went into the stands, but it was Cubs' fans cheering....

For one thing, their best defensive player is out. For another Adam Dunn is playing a lot more first base. Everything that has been reported says the Sox did the same stuff this year during spring training. Making up they were complacent is silly. I don't know how spring training has anything to do with Ramirez forgetting to cover a base. It is something he has to do and has done just about every game.

Yakety Sox.

 

 

I assume Dick Allen loves Keppinger thanks to the Rush at bat music.

I do like the music. I just wish he was worthy.

He's pulled off the magical feat of making me really miss the current Gordon Beckham.

I've been asking for this for about a month, but apparently batting 2 lefties back to back is blasphemous.

Maybe Samardzija needs to hit another one of our guys in the face to wake us up.

Robin Ventura must be the manager of the century to have this team at .500. Or is starting pitching that important? I mean how the hell is this team .500 compared to the Royals, who are 6 or 7 under?

Starting pitching, Crainer, Reed, Gillaspie and whichever other two members of the lineup decide to hit on a given day.

Whatever spring training drill they have to avoid losing balls in the lights, Rios didn't take seriously. f*** off Ventura.

I am starting to really think Conor is our 3B of the future. I wish we could get him in more RBI situations though. Switch him and Dunn in the line up!!

Why does hawk call conor, corner? Like farmer calling rios rio

Did I see Beckham in the Sox dugout yesterday? When will he be activated?

Agree,that was 100% on Ventura.

God we look dead.

It may have something to do with the pitcher....

I thought they shut him down for a few more days

Ed Farmer really hates the Red Wings.

 

Thanks, Ed.

Our offense isn't going to do much against Samardzija. The pressure is on Quintana.

Agree,that was 100% on Ventura.

Yep. I have seen the light. Any shortcoming probably goes back to spring training, and even though I wasn't there, it is safe to assume they pretty mush spent their days swilling beers and not working on their games. Robin probably bought the beer.

Thanks, Ed.

Don't forget the Yankees too.
