Liriano's slider tonight isn't sharp at all. Liriano keeping up the tradition of allowing runs after the White Sox score.

QUOTE (rafacosta @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:21 AM) Left hitters are doing quite well agst him. He is doing a great job agst our RHs by pitching inside and they can't catch up w it. Lopez sucks. Why not Hudson? Does RV read scouting reports? Hudson is so bad on defense, I don't think they've played him at 3b in a few months.

Wow, Lopez has no clue on how to stay back on that curve. 0-3 in the first 4 innings.

QUOTE (rafacosta @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:13 AM) Way to go AJP. RV, left handed hitters are killing Mendoza. Don't yousee it? Try Dan Johnson in place of PK. You never know. I'm fine with him playing PK when Youk and Dunn are out.

Viciedo, as balta will agree with, just has no prayer right now against inside fastballs from RHP

AJP! He juiced that one

QUOTE (That funky motion @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:09 AM) Nice DP One bad pitch for Liriano tonight

QUOTE (rafacosta @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:08 AM) I blame this one on RV. obviously the left hand hitters are killing Mendoza and he leaves Beckham and Viciedo hitting having Hudson and Danks. Also What's wrong with Youk? Lopez sucks! Beckham's been swinging the bat better of late, and he did have a game winning HR against Mendoza lately. Hopefully Viciedo shuts me (and others up), but I have no idea why he got the start tonight against a pitcher that's destroyed him this year.

QUOTE (daggins @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:05 AM) Sometimes you look at a team and think man, they must really want to lose to play that badly. Konerko is now 4-24 and no home runs with runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs (13 RBIs in this situation).

Sox right handed hitters seem to be so fooled by Mendoza throwing that offspeed pitch to the outer half. Lefties seem to be all over him tonight.

Awful base running by Wise so far tonight. That was a stupid decision to send him, especially since it appears he got a terrible jump.

Pathetic

Konerko with a horrible, defensive at bat

Anyone with replay able to confirm Wise touched 2nd?

Wise with the leadoff triple! Not sure if he touched second.

Nice pick by PK! Hurry back Youk!

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 01:51 AM) The Ozzie Guillen rule of managing. X player plays x position so the replacement player takes his exact spot. You don't like two DFA'd players batting 2nd and 3rd for the Sox in the last month of a pennant chase?

So why is Jose Lopez batting 2nd, especially against a righty? Thankfully they face a LHP tomorrow so Ventura won't have to think about whether or not to keep playing Viciedo.

ADA swinging the bat very well tonight.

Wow Alexei, wow...awful at bat

Perez, Escobar and Butler have dominated the White Sox this year. Huge stats for all three of them vs the Sox in their career.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 01:35 AM) Is Liriano one of the biggest disappointments in baseball considering his alleged raw talent? (I realize he's had some quality starts with the Sox). No, he has the injury excuse

Wow, just like that, White Sox are losing. Perez keeps killing the Sox on that inside pitch. Sox had a huge chance to break this open in the first.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 12:30 AM) Boy that was a nonsequitir. Mendoza was throwing meat up there prior to the AJ and Viciedo at bats. From my TV eye it looked like he actually made some decent pitches vs. those two. Still sucks, however. Only one run out of that. s***. AJ could not have had two best pitches to hit in that AB

Awful, bad base running cost us a run that inning. I didn't even know how awful Viciedo has been against Mendoza in his career when I stated Johnson should have gotten the start over him.
