SoxFan1 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 02:38 PM) If you eradicated all the posts with scores and scoring plays, if one were to go through Soxtalk gamethreads, there is no way you would think this team wasn't on a pace to lose at least 120 games. It's as if people cannot just sit back and enjoy being in first place. Like we haven't earned it by being a good ball club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 12:39 PM) Exactly. 2B defense can be filled with whomever the utility infielder is. In a pinch (due to injury) you can always stick Morel there and morel is a nice upgrade at 3rd late in games (since youk isn't a gold glover). Additionally, late in the game, the Sox aren't replacing Alexei or Becks due to injury, so I think if you do have a guy that can occasionally spell those guys off the bench (utility guy) then you don't need Hudson. He's never coming in, unless someone is hurt, where as Morel is a major upgrade defensively over Youk or Hudson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 01:41 PM) You'd rather have Thornton finish the game than Reed? Morneau is 4-27 against Matt lifetime.

LittleHurt05 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 02:39 PM) Yeah, start the inning with Myers and then go with Matt against Morneau. Or start & end the inning with Myers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 02:38 PM) How many pitches did Jake finish at? He must be one of the most worked pitchers in the game this year. Its freaking disgusting, given his injury history. I will tip my cap to the Peavmeister (and I do realize he's had a few extra days of rest, but man, he must lead the league in starts (along with Verlander) with 115+ pitches). I looked it up earlier. He is #3 at just over 109 pitches per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
