Of course...you just can't walk someone as bad as Gordon to start the inning.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 16, 2012 -> 01:39 AM) I was responding to the poster who said he went to a party and everybody there thought the Sox were way under .500 and sucking. We're not in the news. Only we diehards know how the team is doing. Greg, you don't live in Chicago, so how would you know what the Chicago media is covering? Also, MLB Network had a very long segment on Chris Sale tonight.

KC quietly only 6 games out of first place after some big time heroics against Axford the last two nights

In 7 of next 8 games (Kershaw, Billingsley, Capuano, Garza, Dempster, Gallardo, Greinke), Sox face really good starting pitchers. Offense has to get going immediately

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 15, 2012 -> 02:48 AM) You would think he'd have it going by now. This far into the season and total garbage offensively is cause for concern. Not only isn't he hitting, his walk rate is at an all time low. It's strange to me that he hasn't been benched a few more times to give him a breather. He's been a joke offensively this season.

Jeez, what the heck is AJ swinging at? These guys must want to get to LA ASAP

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 15, 2012 -> 03:42 AM) Sometimes he's just using that tennis volley swing too often And I would say sometimes Rios needs to try and pull the ball more as well. He seemed to get more aggressive at the Cell a few weeks ago, and he had some good power success.

Sox bullpen was great this series!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 15, 2012 -> 03:38 AM) Momentum or not, does he not know the situation? Sometimes I wish he would try to pull something hard to left like the old PK. Prior to the wrist injury, he was just crushing the ball to left field with authority. Since he missed a few days, he seems to be pushing the bat and struggling to lift anything in the air with authority.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 15, 2012 -> 03:36 AM) Great f***ing swing, PK Stupid wrist injury killing his momentum

Another freaking hanger that Sox can't do any damage on

The obvious solution to get the White Sox back on track is to have Stoney go on vacation, bring back Paciorek and also invite Beckham's parents to every game.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 15, 2012 -> 03:22 AM) Sale will be I'm looking forward to Hawk's comments about Carlos Gomez

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 15, 2012 -> 02:18 AM) It gets easier for us next week. Cubs and Brewers. Sucks we face Greinke and Gallardo instead of guys like Fiers

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 15, 2012 -> 02:17 AM) We've got a tougher interleague stretch than Detroit or Cleveland this week Absolutely, I'd gladly accept being 1.5 games up over the Indians after this week. However, Tigers have a good chance to get within 2 or 3. Tigers just seem like such a different team with a healthy Austin Jackson.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 14, 2012 -> 06:34 PM) A flat, lifeless fastball will do that. At least Sergio Santos has been on the DL most of the season. My question is how in the world did Molina dominate as much as he did last year if his fastball is so mediocre? I would love for someone to analyze his stuff from last year and this year by someone who's seen him both years.

Viciedo won't get a bigger meatball to hit all season

Deja vu from last inning would be awesome

Sanchez has a filthy slider

Who's coming in for Cards?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 15, 2012 -> 02:49 AM) He struck him out twice Gotcha, thanks guys

Reviewing the play-by-play, and a question: why in the hell was Gavin allowed to face Adams last inning? Adams struggles against lefties, and it appears Ohman had been warming up.

Quick 3 spot! Very nice

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 15, 2012 -> 01:44 AM) it's the cutter that he's fallen in love with Which makes no sense when you have one of the best curveballs in the entire league. It really is amazing how Floyd/Danks/Alexei never could top their 2008 season.

Tuned in to see another disasterous outing for Floyd. It's really too bad that Cooper never worked on a sinker with him, as that fastball of his is just not an effective pitch. If Danks really had a setback, then this rotation's future for the rest of the year is extremely scary.
