Kalapse Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ May 8, 2009 -> 07:15 PM) This is f***ing disgusting. This is his 3rd hitter and I'm done. He's throwing 100% sidearm and getting behind, this is sink or swim time for Jose. At this rate his Sox career could be over by the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk is giving it to Jose now, he's knows he's about done. Hawk should be pretty good today since he can pretty much let loose on Contreras. You can tell a player's status with the organization just by Hawk's tone and the name by which he calls the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Stone keeps also saying that if Contreras continues to drop down and throws it over the plate like he's doing, the Rangers are going to crush him. He's not even trying to throw forkballs now. Who would have thought Contreras would get Andruw Jones to a 1-2 count, and not even try to throw his only above average pitch?

It's this simple...if he's not willing to throw his fork ball, then don't pitch him. It's similar to if Floyd didn't want to throw his curve.

ptatc Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ May 8, 2009 -> 06:55 PM) Nix looks like a 10 year MLB veteran compared to Lillibridge. Lillibridge is completely overmatched at the plate, and besides his speed, has no tools to really develop. I agree with you though, the Nix love will probably last another week at the most. Then, we'll hear calls again for Alexei in CF and Beckham at SS. I think the Sox see Lillibridge as a utility player and the one thing that he does bring is good to outstanding defense at multiple positions which is a good asset for a UT. He is definately not a starter at this point but with the injuries and lack of production he is forced to play more than he probably should at this point.
