South Side Fireworks Man Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 06:05 PM) Terrible, this one is on Ventura. Hooray for rookie managers. My bullpen has been overused the past couple of days, and my starter is throwing a shutout and has only thrown about 76 pitches. I know, I'll pull him out of the game. Brilliant! And what's this s*** I've heard that Jordan Danks is the best outfielder in the organization? This game sucked to lose. Now we get to look forward to Stewart starting tomorrow with Thornton and Reed having been used again today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Robin, next time you have a chance to try and score in the top of the 10th and have 1/3 of your starting lineup on the bench, please try to get your good players into the game. It was like he was playing for a 15 inning game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 07:06 AM) Matt Thornton gave up two soft liners to left field He no longer can get K's when he needs them. Everytime the batters put the bat on the ball, something bad happens to him, and it has been the case since April of 2011 or really since the ASG and Thome beating the hell out of him in the 2nd half of 2010. He's just been a shell of his former self the last two years. No confidence. It's almost like he expects something to go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Still in first. Don't deserve it. Quintana should have went CG. Shouldn't have been the Sunday line up with Stewart going tomorrow. Robin's worst series so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 1-4 now in extra innings, also very bad in one run games. 11 blown saves leads the American League...which is pretty amazing when all you hear is raves about Reed, Jones, Thornton, Crain, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty34 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Far from a no-brainer to leave Q in to pitch the 9th. Leave him in and HE loses the game his confidence could take a hit and this is a guy we look to be counting on here at least short-term. Thornton is just terrible when the game is on the line. Sox fans love him though. Most overrated Sox player in recent memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You live and die with the guy who you got you there, especially when he's thrown UNDER 80 pitches. Completely mind-boggling. It's obvious the guy knows how to pitch and is a competitor, he's not going to "lose it" if he ends up losing it himself. This guy is a stud.
