|
| Clay Holmes has been great so far. Hopefully Jed can keep him past this year.*

|
| Thanks, Colson. That's how you kill an inning
Posted by UofIL6
|
| surprised richards got sent out there for another inning after pitching the night before and why
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| man, newcomb would have been nice last night
Posted by apusikam
|
| correct. you have to win games against good teams while you can.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Peters was playing so deep and that throw was weak*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| Sox pitching is simply sub-par. I am continually amazed they are in 1st place.
Posted by OWWDig
|
| they pitched great last night with few exceptions
Posted by apusikam
|
| You're right...I think, for me, it has to do more with the collection of parts without
Posted by OWWDig
|
| like when freddy garcia in his prime was your 4
Posted by apusikam
|
| Those were def the days. Good performance today. Room for growth in the off season
Posted by OWWDig
|
| no doubt, especially when one of your parts is brazoban.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Wow, Chase. Game saver*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| brazoban has sucked out loud. bringing that mets stink with him.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Oh good, Gausman is hurt.*
Posted by Toonces
|
| i can’t believe how many low breaking balls we swing at and miss.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Was PCA's home run to start the game on the first pitch? I'm sure it's happened
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
| it was. (correction, this is just about hitting a HR in the first at bat and a walk off)

|
| Nice. Vic Power is a sweet name.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
| hudson opening tomorrow. i would’ve rather used him tonight.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Have to assume Fedde after that?*
Posted by bjl63
|
| no surprise there. malpractice handling of the pen tonight.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Eh. The malpractice was not scoring in the 10th.
Posted by AintHatin
|
| Mentioned it below but it seems like they are really bad at scoring in extras
Posted by bjl63
|
| I had no problems pitching Hicks in the 9th. He’s been their best reliever the past month
Posted by bjl63
|
| asking for 4 outs is a bit much in that situation. and walking people is what he does.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| "4 outs is a bit much" lololololol*
Posted by illini21
|
| 4 outs is nothing. And he hasn’t walked anyone since 7/29.
Posted by bjl63
|
| Pitching to PCA is a fireable offense*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| shouldn’t have even come to that, but that was not great. could’ve stolen a game
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Not sure Hagen is the guy I want in this spot*
Posted by bjl63
|
| Didn't get it*
Posted by illini222
|
| now we probably won’t have a chance to use hudson or taylor the next few nights. brutal.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| He’s screwed now. *
Posted by timmer
|
| Sox are great at not scoring in extras*
Posted by bjl63
|
| can’t believe they didn’t use hudson or taylor in the 9th, neither pitched yesterday.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Few real close ball calls there that didn't go Sox's way*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| sam’s early challenge was terrible and rogers challenged the wrong pitch in the 9th.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Amazing how Hicks has turned himself into a dominant pitcher
Posted by bjl63
|
| Zeferjahn is kinda ass*
Posted by Mrap24
|
| Pinch hit Beni-bomb!*
Posted by UofIL6
|
| can’t believe they threw him a first pitch fast ball.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| Grichik giving the Sox the lead.*
Posted by timmer
|
| and vargas gives it back with another late throw.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
| That was a terrible decision*
