Nice Crain! Any attendance figures?

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 01:45 AM) Tim Laker may just know a thing or two about hitting. Hopefully he gets a chance next year Morel and Rios are god awful pierre havingan awful game as well Kevin Slowey is not a good pitcher There's nothing wrong with Pierre having a bad end to the season.

If I can vent for a second...I'm so frustrated with how CM Punk's been booked since MITB. I know I said this a few weeks ago, and it's worse now. All he does is rip on Stephanie now.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 02:41 AM) An absolutely DISGUSTING AB from Morel there. Pathetic defensive approach yet again. Where have you been all year!! I feel like I'm watching a different player than everyone else sometimes.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 02:40 AM) Flowers with the double off the wall. AJ is now officially backup. We need Flowers' pop. Greg, come on now

Perfect example of Morel not attacking a pitch that major league caliber hitters need to crush.

It's so much fun watching Viciedo, Flowers and De Aza

Rios is now 9 for his last 51...yep, that's our #4 hitter

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 01:56 AM) Viciedo works the count, takes the walk when they don't want to pitch to him Hawk is so right...Viciedo has a great presence at the plate.

MLB Network a few minutes ago was wondering how White Sox hitting coaches seem to have the most job security in all of baseball.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 01:50 AM) f***'s wrong with Morel. More errors than walks and homers combined = not good. I really hope he's not in the plans to start next year if we're going with De Aza and Viciedo in the outfield.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 01:36 AM) Did anyone else catch the dig against Rios there from Hawk about "being in the game" and "bad jumps"? LOL Indeed...gotta love De Aza putting himself in a position to start next year.

How great was it to hear Hawk and Stoney praising De Aza (while also taking a shot at Rios' jumps on defense). Balta, how many more years do we have De Aza under contract?

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 01:33 AM) Do you think Morel has ever heard the term "turn and burn"? I'd love for him just one time to do that, his AB's are so defensive it's ridiculous. Fantastic post. Someone needs to tell him it's ok to strike out as long as he's also dangerous at the plate.

Viciedo's grounder to the pitcher hard hit? Oh, De Aza is a better baseball player than Alex Rios. De Aza does a lot of little things right on the field.

How did Viciedo look in the outfield?

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 11:46 PM) Cowley is right about Williams. 100% right. You might not like the messenger, but that doesn't matter. Marty, you still hearing Ozzie to Florida? Everyone in media seems to think Ozzie won't return, including Buster O. last nght.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 10:11 PM) great catch by Ichiro. Another good swing by Gordon. Deep fly or shallow?

It's really fun watching guys like Viciedo, De Aza and Flowers right now.

It's impressive to see Viciedo and Flowers make this park seem small.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 09:08 PM) He has huge straight-away and opposite-field power....some of the balls he hit come off his bat like a freaking superball. He can just destroy soft-tossing lefties.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 09:05 PM) I'm glad they didn't call him up earlier. He is 2 ABs in and has 1 less hit vs. LHP than Dunn has all year. I'd like to vote for this for the best post in the history of this site.

What a stud

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 08:47 PM) Bell just took a life long infielder and turned him into a plus OFer. If that is bad at his job, I want more people who are bad at their jobs. How is Bell receiving credit for Lillbridge being good defensively in the outfield?

Really nice swing on the fastball by Beckham!
