QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 06:16 PM) He doesn't look like he has much at all today. You can't be throwing everything between 75-85 and not have any idea where it's going either. Considering he doesn't have much even when he's on regular rest, this decision made zero sense. Heath or Santiago would have been a better choice. I really hope we don't have to watch him pitch after the break.

Terrible decision to start Axelrod on short rest. Reminds me of the decision to start Stewart vs the Cubs.

Yikes, bad start. If he can't get the offspeed pitch over, the Blue Jays are going to pound him.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 06:56 PM) Shields overachieved last year, he isn't that good as he was last year. I agree with that. McCallister has 7 strikeouts thru 4, and Delmon's on a nice little roll for the Tigers now.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 05:44 PM) I really thought Tampa Bay would put up a fight with Cleveland, but they have disappointed. On the other hand I can say we all knew Detroit would win the series vs the Royals. But Sox just gotta do their thing and keep winning. That Tampa offense is just horrible, and Moore/Shields have really underachieved this year.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 05:38 PM) I really hope the white sox don't give away this game today Indians and Tigers already winning

What's the perception of Hawkins so far? I noticed Correa is off to a terrible start, but Dahl and Gallo are putting up big numbers.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 11:33 PM) Wouldn't Dunn have had the winning hit in that one? I believe they used to treat game-winning RBI as the person who had the RBI to put them in a lead that was never relinquished.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 11:52 PM) Ha, the winning hit in a 19-2 game He also had the winning hit in the blowout in Minnesota

QUOTE (Cali @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 11:46 PM) Three times in this homestand he has gotten the winning hit. Ridiculous. 4, he had the winning hit in every Rangers game

Thornton's really stepped up the last week or so.

MATT THORNTON IS A CLOSER!

The Power of Youk to get the call

Um, wow!

Way to go Gavin!

Nice positioning!

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 10:10 PM) Who goes in the 8th & 9th? I don't see Robin putting him out there again next inning, even though he's only had 92 pitches. Gavin will start the 8th I'm sure. Two lefties up after the first two hitters, so maybe Septimo or Thornton up in the pen?

I do love to see Gavin not going with the slide-step there. Quality adjustment he's made.

That works!

Gavin making a lot of bad pitches this inning.

Nice job by ADA out there

How far was Youk's homer?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 09:00 PM) And nearly all of our hitters have decided to play into his hands by dramatically expanding their strike zones so far today. Same thing they did most of last night. Thankfully Toronto's defense handed us that game.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 7, 2012 -> 09:53 PM) Dumb ump alert...Grienke ejected in first before recording an out for spiking the baseball. Umps need common sense. Ha, the poor scouts who flew there to watch him pitch.
