De Aza, in case you missed it, is hitting .367/.418/.571 in June.

If getting swept 3 straight weekends is getting your Karma back..........I do not want it. Hawk is just spewing nonsense today.

 

 

We are just having a bad game/stretch folks. There is a lot of baseball yet to be played this season

Mauer 16 rbi all year before Sox series ...........7 this series alone.

The odds of a .467 team losing 12 Saturdays in a row...approximately 1.5 times in 10,000.

 

On the verge of losing 7 consecutive road games and 8 consecutive games in the AL Central.

 

I'd say it's a pretty bad stretch.

 

 

If that's the best available marketing tagline or motto/slogan for the 2nd half, they're going to be lucky to end up with 1.6 million for attendance.

Offense getting shut down the last 4 innings. Need a bloop and a blast.

Glen Perkins has never gone four consecutive games.

 

Jared Burton or Fien would probably be their closing options.

I cannot believe we are 1 inning away from being swept 4 straight by the lowly Twins.

Alexei the pop up master of late. Please don't wait too long to deal him if you decide it's time to sell!

Has Putnam warmed up at all this series? Hope he's ok

20 years since the last time the Twins swept the White Sox in a four game series. 1994.

 

Amazingly, it never happened from 2001-2004, 2006, 2009-10.

 

 

Burton warming up for Minnesota.

Suzuki with 8 hits this series.

If they do trade Alexei, they better get a hell of a haul or it will set the organization back for quite a few years.

Why would it set them back? They clearly need to add more talent to their system, and he's their best trade chip right now. If the Sox believe Sanchez can play competent defense at SS, I don't think Alexei is an untouchable.

Ah, there's my man Putnam after Downs faced the righty

If they do trade Alexei, they better get a hell of a haul or it will set the organization back for quite a few years.

How so? He's worth a couple of wins a year and is 32.

They should be shopping him.

Nobody is untouchable.

 

The Sox don't have anyone who can replace Alexei's defense at SS along with his offensive production at SS. Good shortstops are very hard to find. The upgrade from the other players you got in exchange for Alexei would have to be very high to compensate for the downgrade you would suffer at one of the most important positions on the field.

They should be shopping him.

And they should get a big haul for him if they do trade him.

Conor has had a rough series on offense.

It's really hard to sweep any team in the major leagues.

Getting good at losing 1 run games.....................3rd weekend in a row swept good teams do not allow that to happen.

A bunt. A f***ing bunt.

Welp...

 

There are just no words...

Conor has had a rough series on offense.

He was 6/17, .352.

Pfffff

 

 

 

yuck

De Aza you clown

He was 6/17, .352.

How many guys did he leave on base with RISP this series a TON, batting average does not mean end all beat all.
