caulfield12 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 The Orioles and Tigers aren't playing today. The Twins and Blue Jays do play tonight at 6...the Detroit and Minnesota play each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) It's a shame we didn't take those 2 games away from KC last week where they were begging us to win. We'd be in 1st. Edited July 8, 2010 by BigSqwert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyuen Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 03:07 PM) This team is officially for real in my eyes. Yeah I am officially buying in now. Never thought I would say that. Please don't tease me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 03:13 PM) Yep, that's why I'm not going to make any "for real" declarations. But I'm not making the mistake of burying this team either at any point again because they are capable of running off a streak at any time with this pitching, even with the sketchy offense and Peavy out. It'd still be nice to acquire a bat though. well Minnesota and Tigers have flaws too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controlled Chaos Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 03:08 PM) I don't even think the very small minority of people who even in early June thought this team had a run in them thought it could come this fast. They are on just on fire, this pitching staff has been ridiculous. They were 24-33 exactly one month ago and 9 1/2 back. They've gone 22-5 since. DIRTY!!!!!!!

We'd be in 1st. yeah, but it's baseball and over a long stretch, say 10 games, goofy stuff happens, they're 7-3 over their last 10 since inter-league ceased, could have won one of those KC games but lost today on a bloop hit or something fluky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 02:13 PM) I heard on 670 that Pena actually walked up to the park yesterday with Ozzie and told him is willing to start this Sunday. Ozzie told him thanks for the offer, but I want to keep the bullpen roles the same. It's worth a try, if Hudson gets hit hard. I think I would rather try Pena (with his overall ability) than Torres or Marquez...the Sean Lowe/Carrasco spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 What's the latest on Teahen and who gets sent down when he's healthy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) It's even scarier to realize that in 2 of the losses, the Sox came back from 5 run deficits, and had either the tying or winning run up at the plate in both of them. not came all the way back, but atleast made it a game.

Undoubtedly, it will be Viciedo.... However, Lillibridge, Beckham and Andruw Jones (DFA) all should be possibilities...I don't think Ozzie is quite ready to part with Jones, simply from a defensive standpoint. I really think they need to hold back Teahen until this team cools off, feels like we need to keep the chemistry with this team exactly the same.

SoxFan562004 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I wouldn't be surprised if Minny goes hard after a top reliever, even though they are 2nd overall in MLB with pen ERA for the year they were 17th in June with a 4.22 and 22nd so far in July with a 4.83 to go along with a June WHIP of 1.24 and a 1.37 WHIP in July, all trending down.

Guerrier has blown about 3 games in the past week or so. Crain has always been fairly shaky, despite the great stuff. Duensing has been the key to that pen so far, he's been amazing, and Mijares (before that, D. Reyes/Rincon/JC Romero) has been tough as well. But Rauch is shaky against top competition (just like Foulke) and Slama and Delaney are waiting in the wings in Rochester. The obvious move is bringing up Slama, but Gardenhire has refused to move up Delmon Young in the line-up for Cuddyer/Mauer all season, and he's also refused to take Guerrier out of primary RH set-up. But the biggest problem right now is their defense, 3B, Hardy just came back, Mauer's power disappearance and the fact that Slowey/Blackburn/Baker are all pitching like 4th/5th starters, and not 2-3 type pitchers. Liriano finally getting it back together has really saved this team, and Delmon Young finally figuring out he's a major league hitter, but his defense along with Cuddyer's is atrocious.
