QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 02:14 AM) Especially when he's thrown 17 breaking balls in 58 pitches, completely out of the ordinary for him. I heard the other day that scouts thought he had the best slider in baseball

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 01:13 AM) Podsednik made outs on the basepaths something like 12% of the time he reached base last year. You're awesome

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 01:12 AM) Nyger Morgan ran one of his shots down the other day just a little less shallow than the one Dayan hit. I think we all remember Hawk's "Chip Caray" moment

Damn, nice try by Beckham and Quentin that inning. He has NOTHING on the mound.

Way to go Alexei! Underrated play by AJP getting into 2nd on Kotsay's blunder.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 01:08 AM) f***ing hell. Mark Kotsay is having one of the DUMBEST season's I've ever seen from a veteran player. Seriously, if he wasn't a white grinder, the complaining about his baseball IQ would be off the charts.

Mark Kotsay is the worst base runner in Sox history.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 01:06 AM) Chris "Yes Sir" Sale. Better than Lance "I like to backdoor guys" Broadway

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 01:04 AM) Seriously somebody needs to feed Chris Sale. Constantly. Can Chase Blackwood cook?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 01:01 AM) He misplayed it. His first steps were in and he busted it back to make the catch. Yes, but when Heyward hits a line drive straight to center like that, that ball is going to take off like crazy. Aaron Roward would have missed that by 10 feet.

And that's a great job of getting us back in the dugout

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 01:59 AM) So you don't think the fact that he was a 22nd round pick and this is his first full year starting the major leagues and he has a scarce few starts against AL teams raises a sample size argument? What does the round he was drafted in have anything to do with his ability? He was regarded the best pitching prospect by everyone coming into last season (as I'm sure you know). I'm not arguing at all with you, as I know this is between you and Kalapse.

Great play by Rios on a rocket by Heyward.

Kalapse, can Pierre bunt the ball over the fence?

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 01:58 AM) konerko is going yard I was shocked he's hitting .390 this month

Rios takes some gigantic strides when he runs

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 01:56 AM) That will change tonight. Kotsay's got it

Rios, you stud! Why do teams not shade him more up the middle?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 12:51 AM) The funny thing is the way Hanson is pitching right now is an INCREDIBLE matchup for Viciedo. Omar's hot bat needs to stay in the lineup but for now he should be getting a lot of ABs at second. Agreed, btw, am I the only one who thinks Viciedo looks like a carbon copy of Juan Uribe at the plate, including physically and his swing.

Omar!! Great approach by him. Hell of a job keeping the crowd in this game.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 01:47 AM) Hanson has nothing out there. 24 fastballs, 4 offpeed pitches. Time to put it to him. Not with that pathetic swing. Another seemingly protect swing by Beckham before having two strikes. He just can't do anything with the inside fastball, which justifies concerns about his mechanics at the plate.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 12:45 AM) That's because it's become acceptable in here for all of you to think that way. It's weak. We are like an exact replica of this Braves team. Ha, I said that a month into the season when the Braves had a handful of players batting under .200 like McLouth, Cabrera, etc. I got ripped on for comparing Beckham to Heyward

Alexei was all over Hanson in that AB! Come on Beckham, be useful.

Way to go AJP! Great job of getting the crowd back into it...Danks has to go out and shut the Braves down now.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 12:36 AM) Ok, so what you're telling me is that our wins against the NL are meaningless, but the Braves success in that league makes them one of the best teams. I got it now. Hell, a win is a win for me. With our struggles against the Indians this year, I was thrilled with the confidence our players showed last week. Heck, we fell behind on Sunday, and scored 4 runs in a heartbeat.
