4 poor defensive plays this inning.

Hawk with a mini rant there about how bad the defense has been. Meanwhile, the same lineup is used every day.

Gillaspies not in it! That's somethig! We can call that punishment!

Haha, nice range by Morel. He continues to play like he's 40 years old. What's next, Zach Stewart is going to get called up?

Hopefully he doesn't drop the baby

Alexei's defense has cost us 4 runs in two games. Unbelievable

Hopefully he doesn't drop the baby

 

Hasn't he been one of the better defenders?

That John Danks contract is looking pretty awesome about now....this franchise is absolutely snake-bitten when it comes to finally giving pitchers a decent contract.

Maybe, but pretty much none of this inning is on his pitching.

Oh, definitely not. Defense has been nothing short of stupendous, for sure. This has to rank up there as one of the most abysmal lineups in MLB right now, hands down.

You don't like a DH that has one homer all season?

Compare the defense between the two teams that inning.

More terrible defense by the usual suspects this inning. Alexei has to be among the worst defensive SS this season.

Alexi is reverting to his Pre-Omar Visquel days. Omar had a positive influence on Alexi when he was with the Sox and Alexi's defense really improved.

He has been so bad and smirks after every error.

BTW I don't think Dunn is going anywhere. Gillaspie is listed as Dunn's backup, and the only first baseman listed on the 40 man roster is a guy named Mike McDade with no info available. ESPN rosters.

Sox playing some smart baseball once again tonight

I don't think any of this matters if the Sox are trying to get rid of Dunn

Yep, you don't worry about replacements for this season if you unload your high-priced players.

I do not understand stealing down 3 with your power coming up. Now Dunn gets to lead off.

Well what do the Sox do if they unload Dunn and Konerko walks or retires next year? Who you going to trade for a decent 1st baseman? You wind up losing possibly 3 players to get one.

You really want Dunn here for 15 million next year? If you trade Dunn and PK retires, then you have a lot more money available to sign someone that is hopefully a much better all-around player than Dunn is.

Getting shut out by an 0-9 pitcher would be quite fitting for this offense.

This has been happening over 7 years now. Sox a great cure all for s*** pitchers.

Granted he isn't worth 15 million and the rest of the GMs also know it, including Cashman. Like it or not Sox are stuck with Dunn. And thanks to KW the farm is bare. Doubtful that Hahn resigns Paulie, he's injured too often, now has a bad back, slower this year than last, slower next year and he's getting old ,

Yahoo box score has our 3b listed as unknown. Must be Morel. I'm hoping we instead started someone named unknown.

Hawk--please stop
