Kyyle23 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Here is to hoping that Guthrie remembers who he was when the Rockies couldnt wait to get rid of him. The Sox need this victory to keep the mojo rolling towards the Tigers series. GO SOX!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Left handed hitters are hitting .319 against Guthrie this year. I hope R. V. uses a few of them today, even with Dunn out of the lineup. De Aza CF Wise LF A. J. C Johnson DH The rest of the lineup should include the regulars: Rios RF Konerko 1B Ramirez SS Beckham 2B Youk 3B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 We are now 2 up on the Tigers. I would like to keep that edge as they move into town for the series. Guthrie is being seen by us for the second or third time so it's our turn to come out on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Well, Lopez was absolutely horrible two nights ago and Olmedo at least plays consistent defense. Not sure what they can do there, one area where KW seemingly dropped the ball. It's telling that Robin Ventura has a lot more faith and trust in Dayan Viciedo against RH'ers than Dan Johnson. The homer yesterday and the defensive gem that prevented Cain from scoring the 3rd run with Myers on the mound in the 8th were HUGE for the Sox....plus the assist from Alexei, who's the 3rd leading hitter with RISP in the AL this year. That has more than made up for his sub 700 OPS and low OBP and WAR and whatever SABR stat you want to throw out there. He's been as valuable, if not moreso, than any player on this team since June 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd_city_saint787 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Jose Lopez is 8/24 with 2 long balls against Guthrie...I'm calling for another A bench player always seems to do something good on Sundays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) One would also hope that would be the case if Ramirez was 11 for 25 versus Guthrie. Wow, Eric Stults, who we waived this season, has one of the top 5 ERA's in baseball since August 8th for pitchers with a minimum of 28 IP. Sub 2.00. Of course, would he have put up those numbers for the Sox, at USCF...instead of the Padres? Highly doubtful.

caulfield12 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) Butler flips a duck snort into RF down the line, Rios had no chance. 1st and 3rd, 2 outs after K'ing Gordon with a nifty curve. Perez, maybe their most impressive player, ripped the first pitch straight out at CF but DeAza made a fairly comfortable catch.
