I think the sox will hit Harden well. He is a fastball pitcher and will challenge them over the plate. They hve more problems with finesse pitchers who paint the outside corner.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 10:01 AM) What about 9th in baseball in runs scored??? You guys make this offense out to suck when in all honesty some of you guys are just spoiled with this team, they're so good and you just expect the hitting to be perfect, good pitching will shut down good hitting any day of the week and it happens with every team not just us. As I said in the game thread yesterday for the last few games the sox offense has been slumping but everytime they've had a little slump they've broke out of it so quickly. The offense is fine, it's not the best in baseball but they get every clutch hit and they score when the have to, period. I think our pitching is the best in baseball. The only thing that can mess that up if the cubans dont throw strikes. If both of them throw strikes and trust their stuff. Then there is nothing that touches our pitching. Our offense can be really good all the time. But come on, I listen to Rooney and Farmio and watch the game on TV. And all they state on the strikeouts is, wow he took a home run cut on that swing. So get on Farmio and Rooney, because they make similiar comments about the cuts at the plate.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 09:51 AM) Lots of strikeouts, lots of homers, and ranked last in the MLB in doubles and triples. I think that's pretty valid and curious data. Thats Crazy Talk, our guys are hitting the ball to all fields and using defensive swings on 2 strikes. Stats dont tell the story

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 10:47 PM) Does his contract say bajillion dollars?? Anyways, Chavez isn' t getting moved now with Oakland playing so well. We need to sweep them twice now. Put a nice hurting on them so bean rethinks his lets stand pat thoughts.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 10:42 PM) Check his late May/June stats. He's currently exploding and having a very good season. Please Mr Williams make us a better team. So we dont become the 2001 Mariners as the team with the best record in baseball but do not get to the world series.

Chavez would be awsome. Lefty with good power and the ability to hit for average. Gold Glover at 3rd.

Now lets go to the 4th cavern of Hell and win a series this weekend.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) This is my official thank you to Freddy Garcia. Holy s***, did you ever step it up today and save us from big trouble after last night's game. We raped Seattle in that trade. Olivo has been in AAA this year. Morse just went down because he can hit but cant play dfense. And Reed has been ok this year. Remember they also gave gobs of money to Adrian Beltre and his fluke year.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:48 PM) Scott Podsednik Tadahito Iguchi Aaron Rowand So they all try to hit for homers everytime they come up? GMAFB. Pauly/Dye/Thomas/Crede/Uribe/Arow really shorten their swings up on 2 strikes. Pods and Gooch I will give you.

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:47 PM) The problem here is that you assume our hitting will remain at a s***ty level all season. Given that Frank has been inconsistent and injured, Paulie and Crede have been inconsistent, the answer remains: we can start cleaning people's clocks once we start hitting. If this offense starts to hit consistantly we will be unstoppable. And that includes in the playoffs.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:42 PM) What would you prefer? Better pitching and not so good hitting, or better hitting and not so good pitching, because we all know where that got us. My problem with the offense is that they swing out their ass every single time they get up to the plate. Watching guys take full home runs cuts with men on and 2 strikes is frustrating. Yes when they connect is makes for a nice rainbow home runs. This team has to do the little things to be sucessful. They lost some power from last year. They have to do more than just be one dimensional.

QUOTE(WhiteSox311 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:39 PM) ya and we're still the best team in the majors...mmm so what does that tell you...maybe that our team isn't built around offense it was pretty obvious coming into this year that we weren't going to score a ton of runs...i dont know why your b****ing....jus to b**** i guess Our pitching has been outstanding. Its the reason we are in the place we are. But we have to start to get more consistant hitting. Not just living and dieing on the homer.

QUOTE(WhiteSox311 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:33 PM) ya cuz that happens all the time....we've been shutout what 2 or 3 times this year You guys are right our offense rocks. Its smoke and mirror thats we are 28th in the MLB in singles, 30th in doubles, 30th in triples. Crede is a superstar, Kong hits to all fields, etc etc.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:16 PM) Pathetic, corpsball bulls***. Always pulling the ball. I don't know how the f*** they win. Scoring all your runs on homers and not stringing hits together makes for looks like champs one day, then cant sniff a run for 3 more days.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 01:58 PM) Well it looks like we have a good ol' fashioned pitchers duel. We are always in pitching duels. Making someone look like Cy Young.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) I have never heard this before. Sadly we see it a lot when the sox face soft tossing pitchers.

Its nice to see the usual thing. A soft tossing lefty painting the outside corner and our hitters cant help themselves so they either pull every single pitch or they swing at the first pitch that comes up. Focking corpseball

Now he should be ok. He got past the first inning. HE GAWN

12 first inning runs in 15 starts. This guy needs to realize that he needs to get ready to pitch from strike one.

Flyout to the fence, and a walk. Ozzie needs to give Garica a kick in the nuts to jump start him. Unless its a "playoff type" game he gets lazy in the first.

Gacia almost gets jacked. One down.

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 01:17 PM) Konerko pulled it for an out at third What a shocker.
