Konerko is trying too hard to just serve the ball to right. Farmer was all over this yesterday, and it seems he's not generating his usual bat speed.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 28, 2011 -> 02:21 AM) Drabek was pretty bad today, yet we have two runs to show for it... No command, as he fell behind 18 of 26 batters. He barely threw that offspeed pitch for strikes. Our hitters just cannot get base hits (besides Juan lately).

Rios generating more runs for the opposition the last 3 games than he has for the Sox.

Really bad pitch selection there by AJP. One more change-up, and he likely had the weak ground out by Escobar.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 28, 2011 -> 02:15 AM) NOT an easy play. He had to go a long way, over his shoulder, on a white roof. I would have been shocked if he caught it. Not that hard of a play if Konerko was able to over-run it.

Ugh, our defense is so awful. 3 bad defensive plays when you consider Omar taking his freaking time on that double play. Dear Rios....LEAVE!

Leadoff single due to another poor defensive play (Konerko misplayed that pop up)

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 28, 2011 -> 02:03 AM) Doug Padilla Dally Mac looked good when he first came up but the sporadic playing time is killing him now. He is missing curve balls by about a foot

Oh Greg, you're doing wonders fixing that hole in Quentin's swing.

Outside of Tuesday's game, our offense is struggling to even get base hits on this road trip. McPherson has no business being in the majors.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:35 AM) Konerko's been in a slump. Nice leadership out of the box there

PK is so in-between at the plate this week.

Good eye! Line a single to right PK

He better not pop up this 3-1 pitch

Brutal AB by Alexei. I still am speechless about Dunn's base running before.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:26 AM) I have no idea whom Adam thought was going to catch that line single by JP. Bargnanni

Nice hit by Juan. No double plays Alexei!

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:22 AM) Yay, bunting with a guy who can't bunt. I don't like this regardless of the outcome. And with Dunn on second base

Why is Dallas higher on the depth chart than Morel? Ozzieball!

Stop giving up so many hits Mark

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 27, 2011 -> 11:11 PM) What about Matthew Grimes? Is he expected to do better than the 3rd RD or whatever we picked him in last year when he opted for college instead? He's not eligible for another two years, as he's at GT. I haven't heard too many positive reviews of him this season.

I wonder just how far Rios has to fall before Ozzie considers benching him?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 27, 2011 -> 06:16 PM) Now I know who he is, big kid, looks to have a nice shot as well. He defended Evan Turner quite well in the Tournament

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 27, 2011 -> 06:16 PM) Now I know who he is, big kid, looks to have a nice shot as well. He had great form on his shot, but always shot a low percentage due to Paul Hewitt's Clogged Toilet Offense. When he was open and didn't have to rush his shot, he was pretty pure. His biggest issue was turnovers, as he would get sloppy trying to do too much on offense.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 27, 2011 -> 06:10 PM) I for sure didnt, I watched the guy pitch several times and he looked like a mechanical piece of garbage. The guy that has pitched for us the last several starts looks like a totally different person. He also added a slider which has been a big piece of the puzzle. I think it was last year we faced Humber when he was on KC, and he shoved it down our throats the first few innings with some pretty sick offspeed stuff. I never thought he'd be close to this good though, especially after getting hit hard in Spring Training. You said it yesterday....he had nothing, yet he still dominated.
