greg775 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jul 17, 2011 -> 07:24 PM) Sox batters simply confused by that relief pitcher, then he started busting fastballs, it was like they were sitting on off speed. If we can't come back, will be a tough loss...Sox looked like they had momentum and this game saps it. Adam Dunn at this point doesn't even look like a major leaguer. It's sad to watch, but at least he's getting a lot of money. It's a tough loss but we can't expect to beat Detroit all 3 on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 17, 2011 -> 02:24 PM) 2 out of 3 ain't bad. This shows how tough it's going to be to catch these teams, though. Detroit beating us 1 of 3 is fine for them. Should be interesting to see how we bounce back after bad baseball today. KC is still pretty s***ty, very s***ty actually. When you are under .500 and have a chance to step on Tigers throat and sweep and do not, it is yet another lost opportunity in a season of under.500 baseball in mid July.

At this point...we don't have time for tough losses any more. We've given up too many games to fail to win these when we have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not, but this feels like a game we had in the bag. Lets try a 9th inning rally. Valverde can be exciting sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've given up too many games to fail to win these when we have a chance. I agree, but I don't think we can expect this team to magically sweep Detroit in Detroit. We've blown way too many home games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2011 -> 02:02 PM) Just looked up VMart's splits vs LHP/RHP. Not very happy right now. I don't get that he was too good of a clutch hitter to pitch to him in that game Cabrera homered off of Crain in the 9th, but not good enough to pitch around with an open base. its true, this team wins in spite of that fool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've blown way too many home games. If they can't do things like finish off a sweep after being spotted 3 runs, then they don't deserve the division.

caulfield12 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 One thing's for sure, we'll never be in a better position to sweep a team. Humber's been our "ace" all season long and has now given up 4+ runs in his last two outings. We just can never seem to get over the hump. That's something like 1-7 now this season when we're 2 games under .500, sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 You take 2 out of 3, but how many times the past few years have the Sox failed to sweep after winning the first 2 of 3? It seems is almost an automatic loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Maybe Valverde's more comfortable with RISP against him? AJ swinging at a crazy pitching out of the strike zone. At least we're elevating his pitch count over the last couple of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
