fathom Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 29, 2012 -> 01:34 AM) Is Verlander still in the game over at KC? Would be nice if Detroit absolutely taxed their mediocre bullpen before the Sox come to town. Isn't their bullpen better than the White Sox this year?

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 06:32 PM) He's going to play his regulars as much as possible. If we are hoping Olmedo plays more, the Sox are in a lot of trouble. Doubt it would matter much .Olmedo looks like a good fielder and can get just as many hits as Beckham , maybe not the occasional long ball though.

I'm pretty sure they have a better ERA out of the pen this year. Guys like Villareal and Downs just haven't allowed a lot of earned runs this year.

It wouldnt matter much. These guys saying that if beckham doesnt play we are in trouble is bulls***. The guy sucks. No one can do worse offensively than that bum. No one. He is a bust.

Strange, strange season I'm still amazed that AJ has the highest OPS of all catchers in the division. Higher than Mauer, Santana, Avila. Who would have predicted that in March?

greg775 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 29, 2012 -> 02:17 AM) I wonder if things go bad this week if Hawk will criticize Ventura/Cooper for reshuffling the rotation in order to ensure the main guys face Detroit. I don't think they should get blamed, but a week ago, he was very much against it. Did they really do that? That is truly asinine. You don't reshuffle pitching to face Detroit. All games count the same. This road trip has the makings of a really bad one as the bad Sox are emerging again after the nice winning streak at home. Axelrod isn't going to win so we figure to be 0-3 then trying to avoid the sweep. Then comes the impending disaster at Detroit. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it was either Wednesday or Thursday with the day game after a night game. However, with two lefties going, I wouldn't mind DHing Flowers on Thursday.

fathom Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Coming into tonight, A. Escobar is about a .175 hitter vs the Tigers in his career. He's over .330 vs the Sox in his career, I believe. Francoeur has also been awful vs the Tigers in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
