QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 01:37 AM) No CSN in Michigan. If you get DirecTV there could be.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 09:42 AM) I think he's more of a Micky Mantle type player. Sure maybe he can learn to switch hit like Mantle and play CF and run like the wind then he'll be just like him.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 09:31 AM) Was there really just a comparison to arguably the greatest right handed hitter of all time? HA yes there was. I like to think big. I thought the comparisons to Uribe were a little conservative so I went large.

Oh man no Bridge and Tank. I've been enjoying the Sox winning with them in the lineup.

IMHO he has huge upside as a hitter. He's 21 that's so young and he's already a masher against lefties. The pitchers will find out you can't pitch this kid on the outside corner because he'll just crush it right. Sooner or later he's going to take his walks when the pitchers learn how dangerous he is. By the time he's 23 he could be a another Pujols in the making.

Luvinbridge magic is still alive !

Way to go Tank/Hollywood

The tarp is off.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 06:09 PM) And we need a glossary for Brent's nicknames: Lillikid Lillibomber Lilliputian What else have we thrown around for this kid? I call him Luvinbridge when he does well.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:40 PM) 5.9 in Borrego Springs - shaking like a MF in hollywood I felt it. Nice shake.

The kids can play !

See nothing to worry about with Bobby. Ova !

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:40 PM) Might've made sense to have him throw more than once though. I'm sure he was on the side. But the Sox play a lot of close games and Bobby just isn't going to pitch anything but the 9th or extra innings.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:37 PM) And Bobby's control is not there yet. Brilliant Oz. Just brilliant. Like I said he really had no choice who to use. And it's not a 1 run lead . So he has room to work with. Have to start using him sooner or later.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:33 PM) I assumed he was unavailable tonight. The fact that he's warming tells me he absolutely should have thrown the 7th to save Putz for the 9th. They're pretty careful about how they use Sergio. Still don't think he's pitched in back to back games yet.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:32 PM) Could have used Sergio in the 7th or 8th and held Matt back. I think Ozzie has actually forgotten lately how good Mr. Santos has been. Sergio pitched last night didn't he ? Has he been in back to back games yet ?

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:29 PM) Well he probably could of thrown Bobby in the 7th, Thornton in the 8th and Putz in the 9th, no? Doubtful he'd mess with roles that much . Booby's a 9th inning dude. Can't even remember if he's ever been in the the 7th inning before. It's pretty important to keep guys in there assigned roles in the BP.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:25 PM) Ozzie is really gonna throw Bobby tonight in the 9th? REALLY? What other choice does he have ?

Dodged a bullet. More runs please.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:09 PM) Well, someone said he will likely be manning first base next year and I tend to agree, especially if Teahen is back. It just seemed like there were a few plays tonight that he missed due to poor positioning or recognition of the spin on the ball. I believe working with a HOF infielder could aid his defense tremendously, even if he ends up moving across the diamond next year. Many on the board said the same thing including me about playing 1st base and said it long ago too. But what the hell, he's 21 and with a lot of time to improve I'd like to see him stick at 3rd and see how good he can get . Plenty of time to switch to 1st.

Whoa ho ho it's magic you know.. Never believe it's not so.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:00 PM) I agree but he needs work at third. I would love to see him hang around and room with Omar Vizquel and Lexi for the rest of the season. I can't make a judgment on him at 3rd yet. Haven't seen him enough. The play tonight he just couldn't get the ball out of his glove. Seen lots of good fielders do that. Don't know how his range is . Seen him range into the hole a few times but he might've been playing way off the line to start. Real strong arm.

Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey Goodbye !!
