jeffro2525 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Man I wish the Sox wouldn't have called off the bunt there. Morel could have built some confidence with a game where he got a hit and helped the team with a sacrifice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Really confused as to why Morel wasn't bunting there. Can we just play Lillibridge at 3b? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"what a change" "the mentality of this team is so different than last year" I'm glad Ozzie is gone but Hawk is always going to say the company line, whatever it happens to be at any given moment.

Dick Allen Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 05:31 PM) If we're in first place in July and Rios and Dunn are both hitting, it's absurd to trade either of them. That's telling your fans they can go f*** themselves. Would those be the same fans calling for the Sox to release those players? The same fans that produced the smallest paid attendance in 7 years the last home game? If another team is willing to take either contract and the Sox say no, that will eventually turn into a bigger f*** you to the fans than your scenario.

Balta1701 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 22, 2012 -> 06:42 PM) I understand...but what's to say they don't continue the success? Are you saying they can't win even with these guys producing? Honestly, yeah, I don't think this team can hang the whole season with the Tigers, and I think a 2nd half slump is inevitable with the guys they're relying on in the starting rotation. The 2nd wild card is the only reason I might reconsider, but I still think the biggest thing that needs to happen is this team needs to be 100% set up going into 2013, which means losing a whole lot more games trying to turn Morel, beckham, and Viciedo into something, and clearing out those incredibly risky contracts if at all possible.

Cali Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Morel followed by Beckham is just BAD. That was a good inning potentially ruined by these two black holes in the line-up.

caulfield12 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) Great day all around so far for the Sox....this whole weekend overall. Humber no hitter, these two games, Axelrod and Simon Castro both pitched great games today, and Mitchell looks like a top prospect again (16 RBI's).

That was the most complete roster the Sox had sported any year since 1994. yyyyeah but look at it compared to Detroit or Texas' lineups this year. we got career years out of uribe, iguchi, pods, and the entire bullpen and rotation. if we get career years out of the guys on THIS squad - we're an even better team than that one. Not saying that's very likely to happen. Just saying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
