Rowand44 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 QUOTE (tommy @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 10:36 PM) Have the Sox been 11 games over .500 this season yet? One other time. So to continue the Alexei love, he has a bad offensive game but unreal in the field today. Is there a better defensive 2b in the AL than him right now?

lostfan Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Can someone tell me the current order of the Sox pitching rotation? It's changed several times and it's confusing. Starting from Buehrle on Sunday I've got... Buehrle Danks Contreras Vazquez? Floyd? Trying to figure out who will be pitching when I get to town and go to the game on the 3rd.

So Vazquez should pitch on the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping I could see either Buehrle or Danks pitch, I haven't seen either one of them pitch live but I've seen the other 3 and most of the bullpen by now. Maybe I can sneak off and catch a Buehrle start while I'm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hibbard Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 some weird things to note team is 16-9 over the last 25 since the Rays series - .640 ball - but it seems as though we're choking the division away because the Tigers are a ridiculous 17-4 over their last 21 and the twins are 14-3 over their last 17... Thank god they play each other 7 times over the next 13 - SOMEBODY has to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more afraid of the Tigers than Twins even though they are closer in the standings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Tigers are scary. Twins are amazing. I think Detroit is the team to beat and will probably win the division. Hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I'm wrong. why, because they're on a hot streak? i understand hunches, but the things you would be basing your hunch on are a bit premature. the tigers have been hot over the past month, but that pitching staff will not carry them to the playoffs, at least ours has many believing it can given their peformance thus far all i'm saying is don't get carried away with a team on a hotstreak, at least wait until august to make predictions on how you think the teams will end up in divisional rankings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 We face Lee and Sabathia, then have Oakland's solid pitching staff coming in for 4 games. I'm kinda concerned about the next six games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every day some team is better than the Sox and somebody on another team is better than anyone on the Sox according to greg775.

On July 1, after the Tiger's hottest month, they are...5 games back...after sweeping the Sox. They have a long way to go.

Kyyle23 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Im done worrying about tough stretches and opponents. Its the majors, and the Sox are in a pretty tough division, especially pitching-wise. Its not gonna be easy, I expect them to have some extremely tough tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Quintessential for a catch all: Is Wise even fast anymore? I havent really taken notice. He's never been much of a basestealer at MLB it seems. If he's not, then that eliminates the one of the only two reasons (besides leftiness) to keep him here over BA.

I think some folks would argue that Anderson could benefit from playing full time, to get the at bats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if Wise is going to split time with Anderson that you might as well send Anderson down because with Swisher down this is Anderson's first chance in a long time to get extended play at the major league level and see if he has made the adjustments and able to develop into the player everyone once thought he could. Plus, defensively he is so much better than Wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
