NorthSideSox72 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 01:17 PM) It would make the inevitable series loss to KC easier to swallow. I think we have Sale, Peavy and Quintana going against KC, and get PK14 back. If I had to bet who would win that series, I'm taking the Sox.

It'll be so awesome to get one of those. It would make the inevitable series loss to KC easier to swallow. Is that you greg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 De Aza needed the day off... my only WTF is for Olmedo. Neither him nor Beckham can hit worth a damn, but at least Gordo can play amazing D. Maybe Beckham is injured... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 If you're going to play Olmedo, it should be against a RHP. His performance vs LHP in the minors this year has been awful. Besides for his inclusion, I'm fine with the rest of this lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely interesting, especially since Ventura specifically said to the media that Bekcham's day off yesterday was pre-scheduled and not for any specific other reason. Maybe because Beckham had to play yesterday, they wanted to get him the full day off today? QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 16, 2012 -> 03:30 PM) I like Flowers getting the start today. The kid has been hot since he started getting some PT. His average is up 66 points since the middle of July. I agree, I like Flowers getting more time right now here and there. And Wise leading off, if De Aza needs a day, is fine. Especially since it seems like maybe Wise is seeing the ball pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 It's funny but Flowers' defense actually may have solidified him as a backup, whereas many of us thought his offense was the only thing that would potentially let him stick in the majors. Obviously still have to see a lot more though in both realms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 The picture of the lineup lists Hudson as an "available" position player. So he's hurt but available to pinch run or hit? Why not just start him? (Or is it normal to list a player who just got injured but not bad enough to go to the DL as "available"? I honestly don't know what the protocol is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthshiner Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) I think you have to list all players on the active roster There is something horribly familiar about wise leading off in center Edited August 16, 2012 by earthshiner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
