QUOTE (sunofgold @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 01:49 AM) oops. maybe wise should have played today. that is okay..only down a run and still have a few more chances. Viciedo is our best hitter against LHP. You absolutely play him. He just needs to adjust to what Chen's doing to him, as he's been keeping it inside for most of the game.

Viciedo is lunging so much on his swing tonight. Probably the worst he's looked vs LHP all season. I hope he enjoys the bench the rest of the way.

Nice base running by PK there!

6 straight outs on about 20 pitches for Chen. Lots of tired swings it looks like.

Is Joe Crede hitting for the Sox tonight?

BTW, probably 2 more innings vs Chen before Crow/Herrera/Holland. Got to put up a crooked number soon.

Question is, do you even consider playing Viciedo the next 4 games vs good righties? Looks like 3 righties from the Indians, so that's 7 straight games coming up against RHP. Stay hot Wise.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 01:18 AM) Viciedo should be crushing guys like Chen. Instead, he's swinging at basically everything. He typically does crush Chen, but once he fell behind on that curve, you knew he was going to chase anything over the plate.

Protect the f***ing plate Flowers. That was absolutely awful by those three hitters.

Jeez Alexei...just awful swings so far for him tonight.

Oh come on, not this again

Don't make any outs on the bases this inning!

Good job limiting the damage. Had to score a run to win anyways tonight.

Come on Sale, get out of this only giving up 1 run

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 12:47 AM) You just wonder how we can't hit the likes of Chen and Guthrie. Everyone else hits them. With Guthrie and Weaver lurking, the offense needs to snap out of this RISP funk.

And of course, no hit with RISP. Youk is just horrible on the road.

Wake up offense!

Sale with a great 2nd inning there.

Sox just awful with RISP of late

A's are getting Verlander into good hitting counts, and they can't do anything with it.

Viciedo and Flowers, do your thing against the soft-tossing LHP

It would be great for the White Sox if Tampa loses a lot this week and is eliminated from wild card contention prior to the start of our 4 game series.

Got to give huge credit to Ventura for giving the hitters the 3-0 green light. Also, second straight game where the pitching just didn't give up anything the last 3-4 innings of the game.

His velocity is way down. Looks to be aiming it.

I really wish this was Crain coming in and not Reed
