Doesn't get much worse than that. Did he really think he would get a fastball there?

Meatballs galore

Nice job by Melky and thank god he stopped

Massive hanger and does nothing with it

Good start!

Hell of a performance by Shields

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 03:10 AM) 31 straight innings without a run. Time to fire Steverson tonight!!! Shut out at least once in 5 straight series

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 03:09 AM) Maybe we'll see Saladino tomorrow, Who

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 04:08 AM) pathetic and scary. The sox are planning to bring back the majority of these dudes for next season as well. 6 of the 9 would be my guess

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 04:06 AM) Yep. Somehow people get the idea that 1st pitch swinging is bad, At times it certainly is. They showed a stat during the All-Star game what some of the All Stars hit on 1st pitches and most were like in the .300's,.400's ,and .500's and one was like .661. Anderson might as well swing three times every at bat. God knows he can't tell what is/isn't a strike

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 04:05 AM) Time for a Timmy tater. Horrible effort by him at the plate the last two games. His bat looks slow right now also on these fastballs.

It's like they are shocked he throws a splitter with two strikes

Heck of a 5 game stretch for navarro

Navarro should not be hitting in the 8th. I'm sure he will though and I hope to be proven wrong with a hit by him.

QUOTE (Insp @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 02:52 AM) Morneau has come back only to have no plate discipline. Swinging at good pitches. Better than the rest of the team can say.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 02:52 AM) Abreu and Frazier chasing splitters. I am worried Todd left all his homers in San Diego Frazier is so off-balanced at the plate. He makes hitting anything slow seem impossible.

What a joke

Awful At bat. He must think his brother is still pitching.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 02:41 AM) Abreu has chased 306 pitches out of the strike zone and leads the majors in that category. He needs to adjust that or hes going to get worse Any idea where he ranked the previous two years

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 02:41 AM) Woo hoo 29 straight scoreless innings. Oh Abreu I love the 2 doubles . But did you really think Shoemaker was going to throw you a strike there with 1st base open and you hitting him well the 1st 2 AB's. A smart hitter like Ortiz would've took that pitch 99/100 times. Fantastic post

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 02:36 AM) Rodon never really registered with the farm system. He was barely there. If the Sox had done the traditional thing of having these guys put up huge numbers at low levels, the rankings would have loved them. Instead they are actual major leaguers, which is better than ranked minor leaguers. They were at 20 heading into 2015 with Rodon ranked 15. Problem is outside of Anderson from that lost, everyone has seen their star diminish.

Chasing garbage one again with RISP

Doesn't it look like Shoemaker gets set like 3 different times from the stretch

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 03:32 AM) The franchise has also turned out guys like Rodon and Anderson who aren't in the farm system anymore. And it was still a mediocre farm system with those guys there. It's been a top-heavy top ten for a few years now

Their defense making plays, and the Sox aren't this series. Hate the bunt attempt there down the 1b side
