Chisoxfn Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 12:12 PM) Several teams with worse records are playing better baseball now. Oakland, KC, Minny, Marlins, Pads. Don't the sox have one of the best records in all of baseball since May 10th or so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far from since they've been winning a majority of series. Since this is a game of streak, the Sox are due for one of those losing streaks.

justBLAZE Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Rogney Second half rotation: Floyd, Jackson, Peavy. Then Buehrle, Humber, Danks if all goes well #whitesox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Peavy's arm is like falling off, thanks to the fact that we didn't give him extended rest after he pitched in relief (which was assinine). Now we aren't going to push him to the very end to give him extended rest? Why? Why? Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we aren't going to push him to the very end to give him extended rest? Why? Why? Why? This is just crazy, as I said in the game thread, we treated Peavy like Terry Mulholland his rubber arm used to be treated. Just put his ass on the DL, it's not like he's been effective anyways. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,6203656.story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I wish they'd DL Dunn, Peavy, Rios, Teahen, Pierre for starters and replace them with anybody. I think it'd help the team. Right now all those guys are buzzkill, though Pierre has been the good Juan lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we aren't going to push him to the very end to give him extended rest? Why? Why? Why? I am thinking it is a loss of control because of the groin injury and not the relief role. He can't extend and push the way he needs to with those legs and lower body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 People that are blaming the relief appearance for Peavy's crumminess baffle me. What if somebody pitches in the all star game in relief after pitching Saturday or something. And they come back and suck. I guess there will be those who blame the all star appearance.

MiddleCoastBias Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 QUOTE (TomPickle @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 09:11 PM) Gavin has been really good against the Tigers in his career. It doesn't make any sense to have him face Verlander though, no matter how well he pitches we'll lose. This is the kind of defeatist attitude the team has with the Twins. "No matter what we do, we'll lose." Why shouldn't we play the best matchup? Just because Verlander has been amazing we should just throw a sacrificial lamb out there "because we can't beat him?" This is why we can't beat the Twins- there is a mentality about it. Like you said- Gavin is really good against the Tigers. So what you're suggesting is take a flop on the Verlander matchup so we can use Gavin on a matchup that is better for us to win? I say we put our best players out there in the matchups against there best players so we can mitigate losses and maximize wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Peavy going against some soft tosser I never heard of today and we didn't stand a chance. I agree with you. Just pitch whoever we want to pitch. Sox can lose to anybody.

At some point people are going to have to accept that he is not a great pitcher anymore and stop making excuses. He, like Jackson, may have a dominant game every so often but the ace potential is gone and an extended rest won't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
