Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Sox with rare momentum right now. Let's end this s*** here and not f*** around with extra innings in which you know they'll find a way to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 10:31 PM) If Rios was making a lot less money people would be fine with his talent. Its just he got a contract based on reaching a future potential, he has actually regressed from where he was. If he wasn't making so much money, he'd be DFA'd. It's past the halfway mark and he's been a total non-factor this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Rios never moves his legs at the plate. He never comes up before the pitch, or he never goes down. He doesn't step when the pitch is coming either. If his knees are shot by the end of next year, I wouldn't be shocked one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Farmer already speculating that Flowers might start tmrw, but no way in hell that's happening. Unless Ozzie's really trying to lose his job or betting against the Sox. AJ would go crazy sitting out 2 games in a row against his former team. Although it could get interesting if Peavy goes out there with ZERO stuff again and gives up 5-6-7 against the Twins. AJ will flip out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just he got a contract based on reaching a future potential, he has actually regressed from where he was. I don't think anyone would care if he made $20 million or the minimum if he performed. For the past calendar year he has been an awful major league baseball player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I disagree, I think if was making a lot less money teams would have him as a back up of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:31 PM) Mr. Flowers is packing his bags now I guess. I'm still worried about why Viciedo isn't playing in game 1 today.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiderman Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:27 PM) Rios just has no power in his swing anymore. Terrible. Maybe it's always been this way, and I'm not a hitting instructor, but it looks awfully long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:31 PM) Very nice job by Crain, and huge catch by Quentin. Didn't realize that Crain was a former SS. He's a lot more athletic than anyone realized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Its time to break this streak. Ozzie cant pinch run we have no other catcher you fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Rios could eventually turn it around, id have no problem stashing him on my bench for 300k. He plays all 3 of positions and can pinch run etc. He had tremendous talent, sometimes he seems almost there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) Now Beckham's NOT bunting? WHAT? Teahen will hit next. Ozzie is seriously losing his mind. WHERE IS GREG TO WITNESS THIS ONE? Edited July 9, 2011 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilarious - man on 2nd, nobody out. The one time you'd think Ozzie would bunt with Beckham and he has him hitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
