QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 08:25 PM) I thought a small ball team would be fine against these types of pitchers :banghead whyyyyy? :banghead Small ball teams get deep in counts against pitchers who struggle with control. They get the count in their favor so they can get a pitch in the zone to hit. Small ball teams move the runner over and hit to right to move the runner in. Corpseball teams go up there swinging at everything that is tossed anywhere near the plate. Corpseball teams look to get on ESPN by trying to hit home runs everytime they get up. Corpseball teams are always 1-2 0-2 against pitchers who cant hit the barn with a baseball.

Its the same thing as last year. Our goofy hitters fall in love with pulling the baseball and the entire offense looks terrible. We made every crap soft tossing Plus 7 ERA pitcher look like Cy Young because we got pull happy. Corpseball is back.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 08:19 PM) Well if Dye keeps playing like this there wont be an issue with what to do when Frank comes back. Everett in RF and Frank at DH. Nice defensive positioning and nice call on the pitch. 1-2 and call an inside pitch to someone who is a fastball hitter. Nice.

Comcast HD you can watch our offense play like an OFFENSE to baseball in clear picture.

The Tigers are playing Ozzie ball. A bunt, what a shock. Maybe if we had some fast guys who could put the ball down.

We have a great offense when we hit the ball back up the middle and the other way. Our offense blows dog balls when we get pull happy. You slap the ball the other way when they are constantly going away away away. Then when they do come in you turn on that pitch. Its not that hard of an equation. Stop trying to make ESPN like last year. This is why last year soft tossers who could spot the ball on the outside corner would own us.

Can we for once have someone that is willing and capable of not f***ing pulling a pitch. Maybe for once. Not pull the slow f***ing pitch. This is why we get owned by soft tossers. They get up there and try and pull it. Either take it and make him throw a strike or hit the fastball the other way. Our offense blows dog balls right now.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 08:06 PM) 3-1.....come on Willie....zone him in Thank god he walked.

Great its up to Willie Harris. Yeah.

Crede just got tossed. HUNTER YOU BLOW DOG BALLS>

Hunter f***s us over again. Nice umping crew. Put your hands together for MLB's impartial crew in blew.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 04:02 PM) Widger trying to hit a 3 run homer there also. Just a terrible approach by our guys today with RISP. How about the good ole basic nice level swing.

When we play these guys next. Cliff Politte needs to put one in their ribs. 5 batters hit. Either learn how to throw a ball, or duck the next time we play.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 03:54 PM) I'm going to look at yesterdays game where he made a lot of strides. The problem with this entire f***ing offense is they are trying to pull everything in the world. These guys hit best when they hit the ball to the opposite field and then murder it later when they eventually come in. Last year all pitchers did to look like CY young was to throw the ball outside.

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 03:53 PM) You see, I disagree about Dye...we KNOW Dye is good, he's just trying to overdo it right now. I don't know what his issues are right now, but we need Dye. He just needs to make contact and not worry about murdering the ball. Nice level swing.

HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE DP

QUOTE(whitesoxfan13 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 03:48 PM) Intentional walk, sacks packed, need a DP Marte makes me nervous when the bases are loaded late.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 03:47 PM) Thats simply this season and obviously he isn't dominating thus far, minus his homers. When Paulie is on, he's driving the ball to right field. f***, aside from Crede I haven't seen any of the Sox right handed hitters even using right field. Its disgusting. This team is in the most awful fundemental funk I've ever seen. They are having a hell of a time picking up pitches and on top of it are being way to greedy at the plate trying to pull everything. If you notice the only times Rowand has done much anything, he has been going opposite field, but thus far its been not near enough. As far as Dye goes, Ozzie better get the memo and move Crede into Rowands spot, Rowand up into Dye's spot and Dye down into the 8/9 spot. I'd give Dye friday off too and then let Dye get back on Saturday. Wow Byrnes got lucky there, Dye had a nice throw but it hit Byrnes. Dye needs a day off. This crazy Sammy Sosa overthrowing the cutoff guy is annoying as hell. Stop trying to be the hero and play defense. Aaron needs to move down to 5th. Dye is pressing.

QUOTE(quickman @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 03:39 PM) The timely hitting that we were getting is no longer. What killed us last year with soft tossers and sinkerballers with plus 6 ERA's is we get pull crazy. We hit harden well because we looked to hit it to right field . When we look to launch against these types of pitchers we foul off the first 2 pitches(usually home run distance) then we reach on the outside pitch and either roll the wrists over for a GIDP or we pop up lazily. Walk needs to get these guys back to basics.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan13 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 03:37 PM) Paulie pops it up. inning over Paulie needs to hit that into right field. He rolled his wrists over and popped it up. We did a lot of this last year. This year we have been good at getting the clutch hit.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 02:30 PM) Come on Garcia. He needs to start getting the ball down, as he's gotten away with some meatballs up over the plate. He has given up some scares today. Long fly outs to the track a few times. A jack was coming.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 11:05 AM) Now the question is, could Ben Davis had done that?? Davis would of either of hit the first pitch or K'd. He has too long of a swing to fight off that many pitches. I like our backstops this year. Its a pleasant surprise from the previous years. The better question is, will Katy ever forgive the whitesox for sending her man down.

QUOTE(BaseballNick @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 10:57 AM) Carl Everett gets hit for no apparent reason and afterwards we see that it was likely intentional. Carl was pissed, looking for someone to scream at, jawing all the way to 1st base. Later on, Damaso was called for a balk which brought home a run for the A's. Damaso was irate, pleading his case to the ump, but to no avail. My question: we have players so pissed for various reasons that they are on the verge of being tossed from the game, WHERE THE HELL IS OZZIE when all of this is going on??? He needs to come defend his guys, because if he doesn't nobody will. Remember that Hunter Wendelstedt is out on that field. Remember the one that Ozzie got suspended for last year calling out. Do you think arguing would help at all. Most likely the player and Ozzie would get tosed. Its not worth it. If Ozzie was upset with Everett getting plunked. He could always have Politte put one into Chavez's back or something. Remember you can retailiate if you wish to.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 08:31 AM) I sent him an e-mail questioning his ability to think for himself. Thats the problem with many northsiders, especially college students, they cant think for themselves. And because he is a fetus and doesnt realize that before the Cell there was another Comiskey park, and by god it had Green seats also. Maybe back in the day, we were just copying urine field. Its all a plot by the soutsiders to try and get that bad baseball park feeling. Now here are the signs if were were copying the dump known as Wrigley. 1.) If we were to replace our urinals with big metal tubs, so everyone can pee in a tub like at wrigley. 2.) If we were to tear up our nice field's drainage system and put one that doesnt drain. Then make sure that any ran can flood the field like crazy. 3.) Remove Southpaw and replace him with the first homeless man we can find and tell him to yell WOO all the time. 4.) Eliminate all of the parking, so we can park illegally and pee in peoples back yards after the game. 5.) Remove the nice field replace it with a field that the center field is slighly higher than the plate. T 6.) Cut the dugouts in half and make a maze so that the players get dizzy trying to get to the field. 7.) Make everynight half price nice, and discount the beer by 70 percent to guarentee that everyone is blitzed by the 6th inning.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 11:01 PM) ALSO, THESE f***ING OAKLAND FANS NEED TO BE SHOT IN THE f***ING HEAD SO THAT THEY CANNOT EVER COME BACK. These are the wierdest fans in all of baseball. Waving flags out in the OF, wearing masks and crap. Just wierd. The dude who bangs the bongos at Injun field is more sane.
