QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 02:28 PM) I'm not a fan of Quentin sitting for 30 minutes between his at-bats. He'll go nuts. Although I do think that Carlos is a maniac, I don't think one game at DH is going to hurt him. Considering his past health issues. Plus, switching outfield positioning like this is never a good thing.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 02:20 PM) Will Sox fans boo Thome like the Indians fans did? Just like we boo'd the hell out of Crede when he came back last year.

I think I should make another thread titled, "why Juan Pierre should NEVER DH". But I'll save myself the trouble.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 01:43 PM) Jones is playing today. Woot! Pierre dh Beckham 4 Quentin 9 PK 3 Jones 8 AJ 2 Rios 7 Teahen 5 Ram 6 Is he seriously DHing Pierre? Face palm* If you're going to DH anyone, DH Quentin. And what the hell? Rios has been great these past two days in center. Why switch him to right? I'm getting sick of Ozzie flipping things around when they've been fine.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 02:20 PM) Well the Indians had about 15 lefties in a row coming up. Plus since Jake could only go 5 we had to go deep into the pen. The other choice was Linebrink or Santos and I don't think Ozzie has any intention to use Santos in a meaningful spot. Williams scares the hell out of me. Thornton should have been in there against guys like Sizemore, Choo, and Hafner.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 02:18 PM) It's hard to win with pitching when your "best" guy gets pulled after 5 because he can't locate his pitches and then you bring in Randy Freakin' Williams. For an inning and a third too... I think that's one of the reasons we lost yesterday. Ozzie went far too long with Williams.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 08:52 AM) Vernon Wells is 5/7 with 3 HR and 6 RBI. Even when we think that small sample sizes are totally irrelevant, this has a nice effect on his projections. Wells was projected to hit 18 home runs this year with a .327 wOBA. Now, if you take 7 PAs from the projection and add what he has done so far, he's good for 21 HR and a .333 wOBA. That's a transformation from below average offensive player to average offensive player.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 12:36 AM) He looked outstanding. No doubt it may be the biggest steal of the FA players signed by anyone. Can't believe that guy once threw right-handed before his arm got destroyed. Really? Holy crap.

QUOTE (CarlosMartinez @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 11:35 PM) Why? He's 0-4 with 2 k's. Kotsay may not be the answer but neither is Jim f'ing Thome. .................................................................................................... ................................ 4 AB sample size FTW.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 10:21 PM) Why you swing at that? It's A.J. what do you really expect?

Well, we got a reality check today. We can't hit.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 10:19 PM) not even on the NATIONALS To be honest with you, the Nationals have a pretty good lineup.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 10:17 PM) he doesnt deserve to be considered as a number 5 hitter in the NL either Not even on the Astros or Giants.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 10:16 PM) They're not even going to pinch-run for him. HE'S A BURNER DUDE!

Come on Alex.

Just walk Kotsay. Get on base, PLEASE!

Kotsay's going out there. This is driving me crazy. What happened to equal playing time Ozzie?

QUOTE (SockMe @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 10:13 PM) ugggh Tony Pena, all I wanted to say. LETS MAKE A COMEBACK! Ozzie's the one who went almost 2 innings with a LOOGY.

Remember when we went down 4-0 in 05 during the second game of that year and absolutely bombed Bob Wickman? I wanna see that again, except we replace Wickman with Perez.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 10:08 PM) 27% said 79 or under ha! Cubs fans.

Jenks just doesn't have control.

Damn, this audience really thinks the Sox can win 95+?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 10:02 PM) PK miracle to leadoff next inning? We're going to need more than one run.

Choo is just running at will.

QUOTE (mreye @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 10:00 PM) The leadoff hit in the first was. That was a hanger too, now that I remember.
