Putnam has been money

OT- A Boston Red Sox fan with Down's Syndrome sang the National Anthem at the Red Sox/Rays game last week. Good story.

2014 Putnam=2012 Veal

 

He can't be any hotter. It's one of the reasons that Webb doesn't have a defined role right now...drifting around like Joel Zumaya from the 6th-9th.

Jenks and Dotel come to mind.

 

Marte, before Thornton.

 

But lasting five years is very, very unusual these days.

 

 

Saw where Nick Masset was still in the big leagues as well, I think with the Rockies. Eric Stults has had a LONG career now in the NL West, we just gave him a very limited shot in Chicago and dumped him.

You're right about Jenks and Marte. Dotel was only here for 2 years.

Putnam is reminding me of 1999 Keith Foulke. Not a closer, but comes in for a couple innings and usually is quick about it.

Yeah, it was Linebrink who signed the long-term deal and fell apart after being so effective the first half of 2008.

The best thing about Putnam is that his outings are nondescript.

De Aza 3-4!

Isn't Gillaspie something like 3-6 since coming off the DL? He and Abreu seem to hit well next to each other.

Gillaspie really provides some nice balance to our line-up, even if we wish he could put up Davidson's power numbers.

 

 

White Sox with 18 double digit hit games (1st), and 1st or 2nd with seven times when they've scored eight runs or more. Need one run to make it eight in that category.

 

Rienzo has to be getting the best run support of anyone in the big leagues this season. James Baldwin/Danny Wright/Eldred-esque.

Putnam is on a roll

I think one of Gillaspie or Davidson will have to go, eventually. Likely Gillaspie. Next year, with Dunn gone, Viciedo should DH, leaving Gillaspie and Davidson battling for 3B.

Another error for Alexei

Great play by Beckham. he is playing much better of late

Nice play, Gordon!

Agreed, but I still prefer Semien

Hopefully Putnam can cover the 8th, and take the weekend off.

All hail Zachary Putnam

Yu Darvish has a postgame show lined up through 6 IP

The problem if Viciedo goes to DH is that we're absolutely desperate for a left handed hitter somewhere in the lineup. Eaton leads off and then we have 7 righties and De Aza somewhere in the middle.

MLB is due for a no-hitter.

My hope is that left handed Micah Johnson is starting by then.

Holy s*** that was crushed by Abreu!!! WOW!!

ABREU

Another cheap homer
