Wasn't Ozuna playing ss?  I know Lopez made an error but trust me when I say he's a very good defensive infielder or at least he projects that way?

 

But on the one that Anderson couldn't get to (the shallow fly) the shortstop had given up on it way too early.

Yes, Lopez was at 2nd.

I really don't think you can fault Anderson there.. He was playing short and he still didn't get there.  Meanwhile, whoever was at short could have walked and gotten right under that ball.

Ya, I was going to point out. No way would any cf make that ball. Anderson made no error at all. He broke in from the get go and the ball landed right by where the shortstop was standing.

 

Maybe had he not caught the grass funny he could of laid out and caught it, but that wouldn't be the thing to do with the runners on in a game the Sox were going to win. I say that because if the ball gets by you create the opportunity at a real big inning.

I counted 10 pitchers in this game and McCarthy was easily the best. Although Hermanson looked good too. I really love the way he changes speeds. Says he throws his changeup with his ring finger, his pinky and his thumb. Says although there is talk of adding a 2 seam fastball at some point, the general feeling is somebody has to score a run off him before they start tinkering with him. Gotta love it. By the 3rd and 4th it started to look like he was toying with the Angeles. They had resorted to 'feeling' for the ball rather than taking any kind of real cut at it. And he looked completely unaffected when runners got on. :headbang

They had a post game follow up on ESPN News after the game with Stoney and Brentley...they talked mostly about the Cubs injuried pitchers and then steriods...I guess the Sox can't win no matter what eh?

Oh no, they said so many nice things about the Sox today. They were all drooling over Bmac, in fact they brought him up into the booth and were really kind.

 

I enjoyed the broadcast even though Brantley and SToney made some mistakes. Ie, stoney talking about how great Krod's curve is...when its his slider thats unhittable.

 

However, finally someone picked up on the fact that the Sox still have some power as Brantley alluded to and then Kenny alluded to during his interview.

 

All these speed crap and how much power they lose but they forget that Uribe has just as much power as Valentin (and no I'm not nuts). I still say 2 years from now Uribe is putting up Tejada like numbers and then make no mention of Dye comnig in and cancelling out Maggs partial season numbers and anyone elses. This means that the main power loss will be Carlos Lee and thats true.

 

At the same time you figure you get Frank back for more of the year, a healthy Everett, Crede maybe a bit better, Konerko a few less HR's, Arow a few more maybe.

 

I still say Sox hit 200 HR's.

I hope Stone is on with ESPN or something. I watched the game a majority of the time on ESPN rather than CSN. The game was solid today. Today was the first I got to see BMac, and he flat out impressed. I'm excited for when he gets his chance in the bigs.

 

ESPN really gave the Sox and BMac a lot of love today. Kind of nice for a change.
