...and Joe Mauer makes his Major League debut at First Base tonight.

Side note: Listening to MN sports talk stream and as I am typing this the host is pimping Mully as upcoming guest in 30 minutes from "the best sports talk radio station, by far, in Chicago--670 The Score."

I would have my Carlos Quentins in a leadoff man rotation. That way, I would never get all 3 of them in the lineup at the same time, but they would all be able to hit leadoff in each game they played.




Hypothetically, of course.

I sorts agree with Mully and Hanley...Ozzie laughing at Chen yesterday saying he wants to bat. Gardsie is problably telling the pitchers look at the piece of shit lineup the Sox are tossing out there he wants to take the bump in game 3. The #3&4 are hitting .166....216.My God I just came up with a nickname for this bunch The Hitless Wonders Deux

Well, I can't say I'm surprised by the first inning.

Wow. The high corners of the uperdeck have people in them. Looks like it's close to a sell out tonight. I'm shocked. Kenny and Jerry have to be pleased. If it's this way on a Thursday it probably meanst it will be 35,000 + for the rest of this 4-game series.

Hey, look at that. AJ fucking threw someone out.

It's a fucking miracle.

Ozzie may want to think twice about hitting Rios, AJ and Alexei in a row because none of them see more than 3 pitches in an at bat.

Fuck Walker does he tell them to be patient ...he sucks

Viciedo hit a 3 run bomb tonight (still leads AAA in RBIs), White Sox trot Omar Vizquel and JP out on the field.. this is fucking absurd

It doesn't matter none of those guys are going to listen to a hitting coach at this point

What are they 3 or 4 out? How many 1 run games were lost that he went 0-5 in?

I know that hitting coaches don't matter and all that, but at some point don't you have to fire Greg Walker just on the principle of the thing? I mean, if hitting coaches really don't do anything and don't matter whatsoever, then I'm going to dedicate my life to becoming an MLB hitting coach someday.

Okay, as long as they bring up Viciedo and maybe De Aza... it will have more of an impact than firing a hitting coach. This team has options to try and improve the team and they simply are refusing to do so. Its all on Ozzie and KW for that. Its all on the rest of the offense for unexplainably all forgetting how to play baseball at the same time.

Who gives a shit about Greg Walker's employment status at this point? The team obviously has way more serious issues. This team is looking as bad as they did at the start of this year.

I've noticed this about Beckham: Once you get a called first pitch strike on him, he's in automatic swing mode on pitch two. Pitchers know this cuz it's always a breaking ball low and out of the zone on that 0-1 pitch.

This Santiago kid is awfully impressive. He doesn't mess around. He has a nice fastball a really good change and he throws strikes. Have to keep an eye on this guy.

Can he hit in the leadoff spot?
