Except for the last start, where he crapped his pants, Esteban has been on a roll for like 9 games. Isn't it possible that he is just pitching well... and the white sox aren't terrible pieces of crap?
I guess Runnynose Hernadez was on a roll, so was Julian Tavarez, the AAA Royals stiff that pitched and got hurt in his next start, the boston lefty with 2 last names that had a 6 ERA going into our game. Pretty much anyone that would lob soft crap up there and go low and away.
Our hitters cannot adjust to a pattern that has been going on since the ASB.
Again we get 1-2 against a hitter, and then nibbles decides to f*** around and then get the count full. Then he has to groove one in.
Pound in, and throw strikes. This team will not beat you if you make them swing the bats early. If you let them get into hitting counts they will raise your pitch count and beat you oppo.
