Sale with a horse shoe up his ass this outing, but we'll take it! How was that not a double play??

With Sale having no command, just bring in Crain if he's going to be bunting.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 02:36 AM) Maybe the Sox management agree and that's why is in the pen. And that means that draft pick was pretty disappointing.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 02:35 AM) Man, no excuse for the walk there with him down 0-2 No idea why they let him start this inning. It's like Ozzie was more scared of Avila than Jhonny.

Where's Crain?

I have no clue how Sale's ever going to be a starter. Righties get too good of a look against him.

What was the attendance?

That second pitch to Dunn was right in his wheel house. He has absolutely no balance at the plate.

Hearing Hawk praise VMart, it makes you wonder just how hard we went after him? Would have been nice to have him instead of Dunn if Dunn's going to start to resemble a pitcher at the plate.

QUOTE (GoGoWhiteSox! @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 02:18 AM) So tired of watching Rios crouch down real low like he actually has any chance of making any decent contact. 2 of our highest paid our literally holding us back from being an even better team. I still don't understand why they let him keep that bulls*** stance. It's obvious he's not getting enough momentum into his swing, as it's all arms.

WOW! Thanks Rios...I meant Miguel

We miss Crain badly

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 02:15 AM) wow is rios bad. There appears to be no effort at in his game. The novelty of alex rios has worn off. It didn't wear off for you the last three months of 2010 when he was a GIDP machine?

Sox have to play with 20 outs a game for 7 players when Rios/Dunn are both in lineup.

Rios has no bat speed left. He can't even come close to turning on a fastball in.

What a piece of crap. Enjoy the splinters Alex.

Screw it, try a hit and run here. Only chance for Rios to do damage is an inside offspeed pitch.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 02:07 AM) Looked like the usual slider to me. It was a fastball

Jackson threw some funky pitches that last inning. Almost looked like he tried a two seamer, as he was throwing 92 mph from a weird arm angle.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 02:02 AM) I still can't believe Jackson's never developed something other than the fastball/slider. Even if he never ever throws a changeup/curveball for a strike, just having something at 80 mph would make his 88 slider and 93 fastball so much more effective by speeding them up to the batter after they take the pitch. He has the arm motion that would make a 93 mph cutter really nasty.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 01:01 AM) You take baths? lol. I haven't sat down in the tub since I was 10. Me and Baseball America and baths = quality time

Whew, thought that was gone. Jackson's hanging a lot of sliders right now.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 01:00 AM) Thanks buddy:cheers You might want to reconsider your thanks. Beckham homered actually

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 12:57 AM) Went to take a bath how did we tie? Dunn and Rios homered

That was a really bad pitch by Edwin. That was a really nice catch by Morel on the next batter though.
