SoxFan562004 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 nice to win games when they had absolutely no business winning against a streaking team. Ugly, but got it done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 One of the uglier wins in recent memory. The defense was deplorable. Like REALLY, REALLY bad. But the team showed a lot of heart. And I'm a couple weeks away, maybe less than that, in becoming a full-fledged believer in TCQ and not WTFCQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Would like to see AJ and Thornton start to work inside to batters more often, Butler and the guy from Hawaii got all outside pitches, so it's a little easier for them to flick at a 98 ball when they only have to cover it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) This is what you call winning ugly. 4 errors and a win in extras? Unheard of unless the other team makes more errors than you. Thank you Mike Aviles for your terrible fielding at 3B! He literally kept that 9th inning rally going. Edited April 6, 2011 by chw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Good win and bad game all in one. The Sox don't face the Royals now for the next 81 games. See ya July 4th, pesky bastards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See ya July 4th, pesky bastards. They'll be on their usual pace to lose 95 games by then. You can't outrun the talent you have on the team. You just cant'...especially in a 162 game season.

You can't outrun the talent you have on the team. You just cant'...especially in a 162 game season. anyone know what their plan is with their top prospects? Are they planning on bringing them up when the certain arb deadline hits, usually in June sometime if memory serves me right? By July 4th they could have a lot of talent on the team, maybe not ready to win consistently on the MLB level, but certainly a lot of talent. At this point, the Royals could start all their reserves for a series and they'll give the Sox a run for the money, they just seem to be "that team" against them.

Defense and some base running were the real culprits in this game. Ohman, while he did allow a BB, defense let him down, not exactly what a struggling pitcher needs. Thornton I'm not worried about in the long run, would love to see him pitch inside a little more though. Sale pitched over a bad error by Morel and Humber went 2 with no ERs. Not great, but ultimately the pen kept them in and won this game, 7 innings 2 runs 1 earned Edited April 6, 2011 by SoxFan562004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Can't overlook the Sox were down 3 runs with 2 out and nobody on in the 9th against Soria. That alone makes this a great win. Edited April 6, 2011 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Thornton really didn't make any bad pitches in the 9th today. Butler hit a good pitch down and Kila simply reached out and poked a pitch out of the zone for the double. The hitters adjusted to him, he just has to adjust back.

The hit Kila had was a bloop but it wasn't a good spot for Thorntons fastball. That pitch was too far down in the zone which allowed Kila to poke it into left field, if Matty throws that pitch at the letters it's a He Gone.
