chw42 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 11:25 AM) I wonder how much $$ Danks2 is getting for 20. Sneaky Jordan Danks probably knew the Sox were getting Youk eventually, so he took #20 in hopes of cashing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 10:05 AM) I've thought the same a few times. The lineup I'd like to see: CF De Aza 3B Youk DH Dunn 1B Konerko C Pierzynski RF Rios LF Viciedo 2B Beckham SS Ramirez The lineup we will probably see: CF De Aza 2B Beckham DH Dunn 1B Konerko C Pierzynski 3B Youk RF Rios LF Viciedo SS Ramirez Beckham is in his hottest streak of the year. No way he gets moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZZZA Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Our lineup is so beast on paper. Some guys just have to wake up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 10:48 AM) I was thinking about where Youk would bat as well and I think it has to be 7 or 8. Beckham has really started hitting the ball well and I don't think you move him from the 2 spot where he seems comfortable and productive. I'd also rather not drop Viciedo below 7 so Youkilis really should be batting 8 in front of Alexei Gordon's got a .730 OPS in the 2-spot, which is perfectly acceptable IMO. He's also hitting .299/.344/.460 in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexi & Beck have been hitting much much better lately. If DeAza, Beck, & Lexi keep getting on base our days of being shutout are over haha.

ILMOU Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Three pitching mismatches in this series, IMO. 2 of 3 at a minimum, sweep would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes a sweep would be awfully nice with the Tribe going up against the Yanks the next 4 games, but I can live with 2 out of 3 considering the way we play against the Twins. Is it confirmed that Youk will be playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liriano isn't as outmatched as his overall season numbers indicate. He's been strong lately. But I agree that 2 of 3 is a good result. With CLE and DET playing at NYY and TEX respectively, the Sox have a big chance here to gain some ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's more accurate, but I remember one game when someone hit a line drive right at the right fielder when the Sox had a guy on third and Hawk said something like, "This stadium..." Whatever the case, thank god they don't play there anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was at the Dodgers/Sox game a few weeks back, I was about 8 rows away from Dunn when he was warming up. The dude is a GIANT. I mean, I knew he was big, but I had never been that close to him.

chetkincaid Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 It'll be good to have the big freaking lumberjack around during bench clearing brawls.
