So Peavy admitted he ran out of gas last night? UGH

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 01:23 AM) Good job Flowers. Been useless this series. For someone that catches so many inside fastballs, you'd think he'd realize that's how the opposition is going to pitch him until he can prove he can hit that pitch.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 02:10 AM) We're about one more week from the return of Leyson Septimo. Isn't he hurt?

Gillaspie has looked very good so far this year. That was a very good trade by Hahn.

I'm sure they're saving Santiago in case Axelrod or Quintana get bombed. As for Veal, it's so obvious he's short-arming/aiming his offspeed pitch.

Nestor Molina blah. Just doesn't seem like he's much of a prospect right now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 01:05 AM) If Beckham has to Dl, call up Omogrosso and flip to a 6 man rotation for 2 turns. Good suggestion!

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.
