greg775 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 15, 2012 -> 10:36 PM) I'll take that bet. QUOTE (59th street @ May 15, 2012 -> 10:52 PM) Oh please; getz cheats up the middle because he cannot go to his right at all. Did you ever actually watch him play or do you just like to b**** about everything. Same thing to the genius (probably a cub fan) complaining about Viceado when he charged the ball and then dropped it; errors of comission happen in the game of baseball. Given his history he will hit and we need hitters. GO SOX ! Who cares about defense from your second baseman? I am saying Beckham can't hit. Getz is the same player, arguably a better player than Beckham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 holy s***, I got home and turned on the TV to see Viciedo's long shot. About 2-3 feet from winning the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Nice comeback, but predictable ending. Sox can't get over the hump. Close calls matter not. We lost at home again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanne Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ May 15, 2012 -> 03:56 PM) Hate to ask this, but did it look gone off the bat? You'd have thought it would have with how the ball jumps off Tank's bat and today's carry...but it did look like he hit it a little off the end of the bat.

greg775 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 QUOTE (Jake @ May 15, 2012 -> 10:56 PM) Can't believe that didn't go I have to wonder if this might motivate Dayan to actually try to take fastballs to the opposite field in the future Why would a fly out motivate Tank to go to right field more? Nice couple games in a row from Tank, however. At least he's hitting now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice couple games in a row from Tank, however. At least he's hitting now. He hasn't hit a fastball hard in a while but he hit to the opposite field very much in the minor leagues, it was even a gripe. I'd say he might realize that looking to the opposite field won't hurt his power numbers seeing as he just nicked that thing to the RF fence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second basemen are a dime a dozen in baseball. You can always find a second baseman with the production of a Beckham/Getz. That's why I'm saying they are the same guy.

flavum Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hopefully Floyd can outduel Jerome Williams tomorrow night, and then it's Sale vs CJ Wilson Thursday afternoon. Take a split out there, and come home and knock around the Cubs for a few days at Wrigley. Then the Twins and Indians at the Cell. It's time for a 9-2 stretch.

southsider2k5 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 The last four innings sucked, but I will say this team has some spunk. They are never dead. Last years team would have quit in the sixth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 It looked like it might be gone, especially considering the hitter. I definitely got excited, but I wasn't sure if it would go. Looked like it was high off the bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
