If our hitters could actually shorten their swing on 2 strikes, and make contact it would be great. The amazing whitesox popup attack.

QUOTE (joeynach @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 03:29 AM) To me its really simple. For whatever reason, I personally think hes afraid, he refuses to pitch inside to some hitters and lineups. The last two starts against the cubs seem to confirm this. He pitched both starts away, away, away, even while changing speeds and got killed. He needs to pitch inside to be successful, period. Its thats simple. Hey Javy...MAN UP and pitch inside. Actually you are digging too deep on this. For Javy its simple. If he throws strikes, he is effective. If you watched yesterdays game. Right after Ozzie's mound visit, he pitched for a short period of time very well. The minute he gets behind in the count, thats when he gets hurt. When people get to elminate pitches on him, and look dead red then he is not good. All he needs to do is throw more strikes and this gets fixed.

Why the f*** is Wise still in center. Can we put our best defenders in for the love of god.

KW: When Carlos Quentin starts to extend his arms and starts to hit home runs to right field. Thats when you know he is locked in.

This Mark Grace "Oh Dear" crap was overdone, the first time he said it.

Maybe someone should remind the sox hitters that head high is not part of the strike zone. The offense should of put a lot more runs up on the board against a guy pitching to their strength. Expanding the zone has killed that today.

QUOTE (Maxwell @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 03:41 PM) That wasn't a strike in my book. You can go over to NSBB if you want people to agree with you.

He gone.

QUOTE (Maxwell @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 03:35 PM) You wanted booner you got him. Actually it was anyone but the guy who has 100 pitches over 4 1/3 innings who also gave up 5 runs.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 03:32 PM) Another example of Ozzie keeping Vazquez in too long to try and get him a win. Personal success over team success is stupid.

Why the f*** is Javy still out there. This is a dumb managerial move here.

Alexei answers back. Tie game.

QUOTE (Maxwell @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 03:20 PM) We are still very much in this game. Lets get real people. Everyone understands that the game isnt over. People are getting upset when our mega million dollar would be ace s***ting the bed at home, in a pennant race. His last couple of starts have been dogs***. He needs to stop nibbling, and throw the ball.

Bad hop there.

Javy has nutted up, and is throwing some filth up there now. Throwing strikes when you have the stuff that Javy has is good. Javy is the type of guy who beats himself.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 03:22 PM) Did Grace just say Swish is hard to strike out? I'm sorry, but if you average over 100 K's a season, no matter who you are, you are not a tough K. Grace also thinks that the key to beating the sox is velocity in the zone. LOL

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 03:09 PM) They are going to light Gallagher up. Fastball pitcher versus a fastball hitting team. Keep pounding the zone with your fastballs Gallagher. Make sure when you get frustrated, throw harder. Because the harder you throw, the harder they go out. Bombs away.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 03:06 PM) What did Wise do ? I saw him mishandle picking up the ball on the Ward base hit but that run was already scoring. He gave up on it, if he ran threw it he would of caught it with no problem.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 03:04 PM) I Javy pitching like a f***ing pussy again? I don't think he is pitching like a pussy. He just had no clue after he released the ball where it was going. Gallagher uses his fastball a lot, and is right handed. Its time to put a hurt on him.

QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 02:01 PM) What was I saying yesterday.....why the hell do we start Wise.... Because Ozzie loves defense, unless Brian Anderson is the name of the defender.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 02:01 PM) Javy's ERA has quickly gone from near 3 to being in the 4.50 ERA over the last few weeks. Thats because he is in a funk, where he just chucks it up there and has no clue where the ball goes.

Throw a damn strike for the love of god. You can't pitch behind everyone.

8th shutout of the season, 3 less than all of last year. Another never seen kid who 4 hits us. Kershaw awaits.

Last year we had 11 shutouts with a god awful offense. If we don't score in the 9th, we will have our 8th shutout of the year. Our offense will have been shutout 19 times in 2 years. f***.
