iamshack Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 06:43 PM) Ugh, nice swing by Beckham, but no results. This offense desperately needs some type of spark. BTW, anyone see that Laroche is destroying the ball again? Shocker, didn't see that coming. They look a little better today. Vizquel killed us with his at bat in the first...Rios is hurting with a bad wrist....but that inning was just bad luck. We'll get to Milwood though eventually.

ThunderBolt Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 The offense needed new blood, and KW didn't get it done. I expect to see a lot of these performances for the rest of the year. We need to hope that our pitching continues to win the day for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Yeah not really too impressed with Milwood... let's see how he does on the second time around the lineup. Jones takes Gavin deep, his slider didn't fool him. It was actually a decent pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems he's been extremely reluctant to call that lately. In that Vizquel AB, no excuse not to put a play in motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 That 0-2 pitch seemed to be right down the plate. Gavin doesn't seem to have a very good fastball tonight, as he's a few mph below what he's usually at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate Ozzie's use of bunts, but he seems to have a knack for knowing when to put the hit and run on. That was the perfect situation for it.

I can understand if they blocked the site at work because maybe they found out you went on it too much, but I am at home. There should be no reason anything should be blocked..... This is really going to bum me out, but at least I will be back at school in less than 2 weeks so I can access it again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the perfect situation for it. Vizquel literally had the entire right side of the infield open in that AB when Pierre was in motion. And man, this umpire has the smallest zone ever.

I expect to see a lot of these performances for the rest of the year. We need to hope that our pitching continues to win the day for us. The offense has been more than adequate over the past 50 games. We'd have all loved to get a big bat, but I still feel pretty good if we can just get Q to give us some consistency and use the bats that we do have correctly. Unfortunately, this little run by Kotsay and Viciedo's struggles against the RH yesterday are probably going to condomn us to Kotsay for the remainder of the year unless we can reel in Manny.

The constant fear is that the Sox will slip into the team hell they were in three months ago. The good news is that much of that was caused by s*** pitching, as opposed to crappy hitting. I still think new blood was needed for a title run, but you're not going to hear me telling you that this team can't win this division as currently constructed.

I don't think getting Adam LaRoche would have changed a whole lot about that. Question though, we really didn't hear any rumors about LaRoche...I wonder if he was just unavailable?
