We'll see. I know he normally likes to deal with things quietly but that one is pretty bad

 

Especially if you're bunting with Alexei to play for that one run.

ADA on 3rd base, Rios hits a hard liner to CF that Jackson catches standing up. ADA looked to be about halfway towards home before he realized it would get caught, and he wasn't able to tag up. Hawk is incredibly pissed off.

Fantastic. Ale wants that number 1 pick too!

This is a game the Sox should probably be up 5-2. It's pretty amazing how awful the offense/execution is.

Ale needs to go far away, I mean far

If you don't pull ADA because you have already used one of your OF subs, you'd sure want to sit him tomorrow

Just checked out some stats from Yahoo.Com on Dunn.

You know when he plays 1b, his stats this year are:

 

G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB K SB CS AVG OBP SLG OPS

64 221 30 53 8 0 15 37 40 67 0 1 .240 .362 .480 .842

 

Pretty cool.

On the bright side, ADA has correctable errors. You can't fix what is wrong with the likes of Paulie

He has a long track record in minor league baseball of being a horrible hitter. Be patient. When a guy is batting .202 in Triple-A and .237 for his career in minor league ball and gets called up and starts hitting...this should scream "fluke" to you

I can admit it might be a fluke if you can admit it's possible he's made some adjustments that have served him well.

If the sox had kangaroo court de aza would be bankrupt

And to that, I think we can all say that thankfully, his contract is up after this year. I can't imagine how it would be on here if PK had another year left on his deal.

LOL With what? A lobotomy?

Yeah, he might be better than he was at some of the times he really struggled in the minors. He's still not a .300 or even .280 hitter, though, and also lacks both power and speed. Lots of pressure on his glove

Wow, how does no one get fired for this? Shouldn't Ventura bench De Aza for that if he wants to send a message?

As dumb as a play that was that De Aza made you have to admit he had a much better chance of being throw out at home than on the Rios one. That was a pretty shallow shot to center and Jackson didn't dive. Chances are if he goes a good throw nails him by plenty.

Great play Beckham !

what a catch

I don't know if that's true. He just has terrible instincts.

This is a relevant point

I think he's got better speed than Garcia and we got Garcia playing CF.

It's actually an interesting question as to who is faster. The consensus is that Iglesias is not fast, especially for a MIF. However, how slow does that make him compared to a "fast big guy" like Garcia? Garcia has definitely done a better job of stealing bases in the minor leagues and has a bit lower rate of GDP than Iglesias

Sox are losing again? You have got to be s***ting me!!! My gawd.

Wow, now that is bad managing by Leyland

Damn it Konerko!

Greg, its been fun pointing out your ignorance over the years but I've had enough...congrats on being my first blocked poster.

 

PK Power.

A Paulie sighting!!!!!!

That seems like Konerko's first HR in months.
