Dick Allen Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I like the AJ approach not to even bother throwing a lot better than the throw it into CF that Castro prefers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo's Drinker Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 when you positon your team like a softball league with homeruns and no defense , you are going to get this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 08:56 PM) Chink in the Sox armor is glaringly large lately. Poor defense. How does a .166 hiter get to you for 2 hits in a game? Easy. The Twinkees play out of their ass every time they play the Sox. Simple enough. They are very mediocre, but sometimes I think they would beat our ass 70% of the time if we just straight up played them. They are in the Sox's heads.

Friend of Nordhagen Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 08:56 PM) Oh, f*** you. Alexei Yep, not a great throw, but Alexei should have had the ball. Again. He's a complete and total liability. End that f***ing experiment now, please. Thanks much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 02:57 AM) Castro short-armed the throw and Alexei ole'd it. Interesting story, as Bruce Levine basically said today that AJP isn't the only Sox player who's sick of Alexei being afraid to get down and dirty in the field.

elrockinMT Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 02:57 AM) So at what point do you consider DFA Castro? He's been terrible at the plate and behind the plate. I believe this is about three throwing errors in his last few games behind the plates anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 We have 4 hits in 21 at bats so far tonight. The game ain't over, but we may be about to go 1-6 vs. our divisional rivals on this trip after this game. Yuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think he does call a very good game. However, he's not making errors behind the plate and his offense is worse than Toby Hall's was.

Levine's about as useful as a balm bag, but there's probably some validity to this. After all, last spring training when he played the outfield, Alexei was pretty clearly afraid of the wall.
