What's with this bad situational hitting? Fuko why didn't you hit a f***ing fly ball to tie it???

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 03:29 AM) You're right. But we've been having this same conversation back and forth, back and forth, since 2009. In the end, if it's not enjoyable, maybe it is best to take a break for awhile. There really was the feeling last year a significant part of the fanbase wanted the team to lose just so Ozzie and/or KW would lose their jobs...that someone from management would have to do SOMETHING. It's a bigger problem when you have a new manager and hitting coach and see the same problems. That's on the players, and the GM who acquired them. I did take a break ... in the 6 month offseason. Time for baseball and time to b**** at all cept Paulie.

Wow. Adam hit the bleeping ball. Congrats big fella.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 03:24 AM) lol! lots of doom and gloom around here already. some players are playing some really, really s***ty baseball right now, but not all, not by a LONG stretch. Ref***inglax fellas. This team turned me into doom and gloom the past 2-plus seasons. I'll gladly return to the upbeat side someday.

Expectations are so low for Dunn. If he was worth a s***, he would BLAST a game-tying home run right here. He's paid big money to help the White Sox win a game once in a while.

How could Morel look like he had a clue the previous at bat and whack a single to center then against a hack not take the same pitch back up the middle or to right for a single??? Frustrating. We stink.

Why didn't Brent dump that first pitch into center like his last at bat?? Meatball. WTF?

Nice triple by DeAza. Let's see if the Sox can get two-out hits this season or if it's more of the same from last year.

Beckham almost got a hit.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 03:00 AM) He's not exactly Einstein when it comes to baseball. His head has been up his ass since the all star break in 2010. I really wonder why he can't concentrate for an employer that pays him so well. I was thinking the same thing. If I owned the team I'd at least call his agent and tell him to pass the word on to Rios that I think he is a bum.

Is baseball the only sport you can screw up as badly as Rios and Dunn and have nobody ever say anything to you? I wish it was like college basketball where coaches could yell at them and get in their face.

I've never seen that pickoff play work until tonight. Robin has to fine him for that blunder behind the scenes. That probably just cost us a chance at a victory is all.

Nice job by Lexi and Rios. Idiots.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 02:46 AM) Contract.Year. Maybe. I bet guys do concentrate more during their contract year. Each at bat is more urgent. But I refuse to believe AJ is a dog in non contract years. I think he tries.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 02:39 AM) Honest question...if Dunn hits .175 again or so, does anyone think he'll retire after the year is over? No. He'll keep trying. AJ has become a lefthanded Paulie. 3-2.

Adam is laughably bad.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 18, 2012 -> 02:36 AM) I can't believe you even spend the time to type this foolish nonsense that occurs in your brain. No one cares. In your world, do they care about all the other posts in this thread written by others? If so why?

Boy the Sox stink. I still can't believe Rosenthal wrote that fluffy column on how good the Sox look after 1 week of baseball. Talk about over-reacting.

No hitting coach in the history of baseball could help this anemic offense.

Somebody predicted three hits for the Sox against Chen tonight. Good call by somebody. I forget whom.

Dayan whiffs. Now comes Gordon. Mr. Automatic Out, good glove no hit.

Happily I was wrong about the big inning by the O's. I will say Adam Dunn is probably the worst hitter against lefties I've ever ever ever seen. My god he is bad. I won't rip Robin for batting him third, but many of you would be upset if our previous manager hit Dunn third vs. lefties.

Beckham is a good defender. Double play.

Now watch a good hitting team take advantage of drawing a pair of walks. This is gonna be ugly. 2 on; no out.

Only hope for this offense is the long ball again. And Sox aren't exactly hitting many home runs either. If this team is going to do anything ... home runs need to start coming in bunches all year long.
