NorthSideSox72 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 13, 2009 -> 03:59 PM) Floyd singles up the middle over the Pitcher's head after pulling back the bunt. Bases loaded, nobody out, Floyd with a 2.000 OPS this spring. Can Gavin actually hit? Or was this anomolous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 13, 2009 -> 02:01 PM) I think I'd go with Nix/Getz and Anderson. Push Owens to AAA, and release Wise. If Lillibridge is in CF, all 3 of our OF's are righties. That strongly suggests you want a LH hitter on the bench as a backup. Given that Anderson has options left and has been awful, Pass Owens through waivers and see if he can go back to AAA, use up Anderson's option, and start Wise as your backup OF. If Anderson figures out how to hit again, then consider changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Jerry Owens hasnt hit a ball hard all spring. I dont know how you can make a case for someone to be an MLB hitter when he cant even square up the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) Wise with an RBI on an infield FC...runners on 1st and 2nd with one out, Owens cut down at 3rd, no attempt at a DP. C'mon Nix, come through with a big hit. Nix apparently gets a break on a call that could have been the 2nd out and takes the walk. Bases juiced with AJ up, only one out, Sox up 3-2. Somehow a ball that should have been a double ends up only scoring one run...Wise had tagged up at 2nd and misjudged the ball, so the runners could only advance one base at a time. Wow...Konerko with another hit...5-2 White Sox. Konerko 3/3 with 3 RBI's. Owens up to a "blistering" .219. Anderson stuck at .179 in shades of his 2006 batting average in early June of that year.

Balta1701 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Pierzynsi lines it over Macias's head in RF. Bases still loaded for Konerko How you hit a ball off the fence with the bases loaded and only get 1 in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Ok, now Konerko singles for another RBI, 5-2 Sox, 3/3 with 3 RBI for Paulie today, now Fields up with them loaded. Wise scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Fields singles to LF. The wheels keep turning. 2-2 with a walk and an RBI for Josh. 6-2 Sox. Anderson gets another shot with the bases loaded. Only 1 out. I'm calling GIDP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) That Baines trade was at the end of his career...or towards the end. The Baines for Sosa/Fletcher/Alvarez move was in 1988 or 1989 I think. Josh Fields continues to come through with another hit...station-to-station baseball at its best/worst. Nobody has advanced once in this inning more than one base on any of the plays. For an outfielder (on Anderson) to be hitting .192 "that's not so good." Anderson K's for the FIRST White Sox strikeout of the ballgame. Anderson is really killing his chances. Lillibridge making a case to play in CF as part of a platoon instead of Anderson.

Balta1701 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Anderson K's swinging. 2 out. Lillibridge lines to RF. Konerko held at 3rd. Another run scores, 7-2 Sox. 2 hits this inning for Lillibridge. New pitcher coming in for Mike Ekstrom, who seemingly sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) Just don't look at Lillibridge's offensive numbers the last two seasons and project Brent as a regular CFer. Well, maybe KW "fixed" him just by bringing him to the White Sox. Owens manages not to get somehow by Todd Worrell's brother...Konerko scores on WP, miracles (milagros) do happen.

caulfield12 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) Lillibridge would have to hit against LHPers with Wise getting most of the AB's against righties. He could also pinch run and back up Ramirez better than Getz/Betemit and also play occasionally at 2B, depends if you take Nix or not. Ironic....both Owens and Anderson K in an inning when the Sox send up 12 to the plate. Wise, CF 3 1 0 1 0 0 3 .350 Nix, 2B 2 1 0 0 1 0 1 .556 Pierzynski, C 3 1 2 1 0 0 0 .476 Konerko, 1B 3 2 3 3 0 0 0 .357 Fields, 3B 2 0 2 1 1 0 0 .389 Anderson, B, RF 3 0 0 0 0 1 7 .172 Lillibridge, SS 3 1 2 1 0 0 1 .310 Owens, LF 3 0 1 0 0 1 3 .212 Floyd, P 1 2 1 0 1 0 0 1.000 Lillibridge's average is climbing...that's the nature of spring, he can catch Wise in almost one game.
