Clicking on all cylinders tonight

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 02:02 AM) Seriously, can none of our guys go past 75 pitches? Do you think it's that or is the opposition making adjustments while our pitchers/catchers aren't?

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 01:59 AM) I'm not going to say Gavin has a Zito curve but I'd sure like to see it more often. For about 5 years now, I've pleaded for him to throw more curves. If the opponent beats you on it, you tip your cap. It's the only pitch he has that is above average but seems to get way too much damage done on his lesser pitches.

Never realized how bad Gavin's career ERA in April and May is compared to every other month. Reminds me a bit of LaRoche on the Nats

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 12:56 AM) Crazy, 6 of the 7 video highlights are for the Nationals at MLB.com. And I thought ESPN was biased, lol. What highlight would you give for the Sox tonight?

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 12:56 AM) God damn you Gavin The pitch selection is insane

Stop throwing so many damn 90 mph fastballs over the plate! Seriously, make Desmond hit curves.

Looking at past box scores, the White Sox have one hit this season with RISP and less than 2 outs.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 12:46 AM) Still a game for now, limited the damage. How 'bout them Braves (Mel Allen voiceover)? Braves have had quite the easy schedule so far.

ADA taking much better swings of late. Need a big inning here!

Nice double play, big inning here for the offense with Babe Rios batting 3rd

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 12:42 AM) Boneheaded...just dumb the approach that is being taken right now. I still would love to know who's calling pitches this year...Flowers or a bench coach

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 12:41 AM) 5th inning Javy-esque time? Gavin's fastball since I started watching is 2-3 mph less than usual. He's throwing 89-91 mph meatballs.

Pitch calling continues to suck

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 12:37 AM) Except that theory didn't work too well against GIO for Dayan this time around. Gio's stuff is more dynamic than just about any lefty in baseball.

Flowers has been just awful the last 4 games. He's really struggling to get his arms extended against RHP. Facing LHP can't come soon enough for him, Keppinger and Viciedo.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 12:29 AM) I dont get Gavin...looks good for a while. Makes 1 mistake and then proceeds to crap his pants from that point on. Its been incredibly frustrating to watch since he's pitched here. You get him from the stretch and against a lefty, and it's a recipe for trouble.

Terrible 2 strike pitch there. Must be nice to get hits with RISP.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 01:17 AM) Four homers now for Harper. Guess it is only going to take him one year of adjustment to put up a 25-30 homer season. He's going to hit way more than that

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 12:12 AM) Not making Zimmerman work very hard at all so far, still a low pitch count. This Sox team doesn't like to draw walks

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 10, 2013 -> 09:44 PM) I don't want Buehrle to pitch against the Sox. We're built to destroy him. What?

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 10, 2013 -> 09:48 PM) https://twitter.com/DanHayesCSN/status/322087775857938432 Just put him on the DL. We all know this is going to take more than a week. Yep, should be Sanchez that gets the call.

Chicagosports.com saying Beckham likely to be out a few days due to wrist injury.

The merchandise aspect of marketing for the Sox is pathetic. You want to try and get people excited about someone like Sale? Well, then you should be selling his jerseys throughout Chicagoland. If you go somewhere like Sports Authority, you'll definitely find Konerko jerseys and might find someone like Peavy, Rios or Beckham if you're lucky.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 10, 2013 -> 02:25 AM) The bloom is already off the Donnie Veal rose. That was doomed to be another version of Politte/Cotts in 2005. Way, way too early to be giving up on Veal. I'm way more concerned that Thornton's going to continue to struggle as opposed to Veal.
