Real Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'd rather have Vizquel at 2B over Beckham, Gordon is clueless with a baseball bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please no more Omar. We can't win a division playing Rios. Just sucks that Oz won't play DeAza. Will Gordon and Hosner go deep off Zach tonight? Fathom is right.

This is a big game and a big start for ZS - we have to win tonight, and if we do, we could actually sweep a series, perhaps, and finally get OVER .500!

The Ginger Kid Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Since DET is going to be facing the same lame O's that we just feasted on, a win is a must just to keep pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 That's why Lillibridge at 2B and DeAza in the line-up as the DH works too. The problem is Paulie's injury forces Brent to 1B for the time being. Beckham's defense is better than Omar's now, and he occasionally runs into an offspeed pitch and hits a home,r so he's still a better option than OLDmar.

elgonzo4sox Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'll be at the game tonight to root our boys on to a .500 record once again - then the season can begin anew. I just hope for patience at the plate. Hitting Chen is almost like hitting a knuckleballer like Wakefield - you have to be patient, let borderline pitches go past (they wil probably fall out of the zone for a ball), and hammer only the mistakes. Take walks, and take what Chen gives you. Chen can be beat, with the right approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshot7 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 In town for first home game of the year. Hope Zach can do what he did last time. Go Sox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) Watch AJ, Pierre or Paulie. They'll have to take anything pitched on the outside half of the plate (80% of his pitches) and take it to the opposite field. Chen is a little bit similar to Tommy Glavine in the last five years of his career. Edited August 12, 2011 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
