caulfield12 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Might as well have Treanor bring back memories of Carlos Guillen's walkoff squeeze to end the 2000 AL Division series. God, this series has been miserable for the Sox. The Tigers will only be 3 games back if they were to lose this game. What will Thornton manage to do now? Can he actually get a key out against a LHB or wil the ball dink in somewhere, somehow....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Wish we gave Abreu this amount of respect last inning and kept in the lefty to ensure he couldn't be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I would have pitched to Abreu. Now we have to deal with this asshole bunting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 07:02 AM) Clearly that goes on both. Its not like Matt didnt have a game ending Wild Pitch yesterday. Aided greatly by AJ's defensive apathy. But that wasn't yesterday, it was Friday night. Thornton absolutely can NEVER EVER in 100 years come up with a key out when we need it. God, it's so tiring, year after year after year.

fathom Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Matt Thornton continues to throw low fastballs that completely negate his velocity. I'm so happy Cooper went out there to share his words of wisdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a big out is needed, he's been unable to get it. How about he miss a bat once in a big spot this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) They should just put Thornton on the waiver wire and see if anyone will claim his salary. I'm convinced that even if there was a runner at 1st or 2nd instead of 3rd, he still would have managed to choke the game away somehow. It's what he does. Once again, another hitter well under .200 against LHP comes through against Thornton. Edited June 17, 2012 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetkincaid Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Wouldn't that have been caught if the outfield had been playing up like they were supposed to? Why were they playing so deep? Neither one of them could have thrown Gwynn out on a fly ball that deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why were they playing so deep? Neither one of them could have thrown Gwynn out on a fly ball that deep. The game winner was a hit no matter what. Playing Gwynn so deep to left is ridiculous though, as he couldn't homer to the opposite field if he was swinging from second base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
