Sox take 2 of 3

QUOTE(indyman @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 03:29 PM) Our pitching is a big problem, but it goes deeper than Hawk insisting we have to pitch inside. Everytime a pitcher struggles his answer is to pitch inside. I don't think it's quite that simple. Nope, but it's a start. When you only have to be concerned with the outer half of the plate, things get a lot easier for hitters. Freddy and especially Mark should have buzzed a hitter or two with a high heater as their 1st pitch.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 03:16 PM) whupdeef***in doo......its almost august...i know hes still hittin like .340 in july, and he is coming around, but 3.5 months of batting .200 is something im not celebrating Whats done is done. We all know his av. at the end of the year is probably going to be dissapointing, due to his horrible 1st half. It doesn't mean he might not have a decent 2nd half. QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 04:27 PM) Anderson is stroking the ball. Maybe he can give some pointer to the rest of the team on the nice line drive swing he has. The rest of them think its a saturday night softball game where the more you crack it over the fence the more beer you get. Ozzie must be letting Juanito give the pre game pep talk.

We looked so good at times and guys had some really good at bats, especially against Rivera, but we did too much little stuff wrong. Sure the pitching blew, but baserunning and defense also hurt us this weekend.

QUOTE(bmags @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 09:55 AM) Both days...if f'd up waiting and had to get 2 one day passes though, argh! ted leos gonna be so great. I'm leaning toward Sunday, can't make Sat.

Pfft, I'm in, balls deep, til the end as usual. I believed in a team for 37 years that hadn't won s***. Why would I quit on a team that just won the f***in' WS??! Geez are we already starting the 'are you in or out' thread? I'm convinced some of you guys just enjoy worrying. I'd rather be going through this now while there is still time to straighten it out, than in late September during a tight race. GO SOX

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 05:29 PM) Kenny has some stuff up his sleeve, but I don't know if we have the chips to get done some of the things he wants to get done. Not to mention I don't know if the market will be too much of a sellers market. I'll bet none of it involves the five starters.

not that it woulda mattered, but CAN AJ HOLD ON TO ANY RELAY TO THE PLATE, EVER?

we'll see if Freddy's leash is as short as Mark's was yesterday.

fair? hmmmmm.

Mack needs to play AT the wall, at least s*** won't get over his head for extras.

QUOTE(SoxnGiants @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 01:07 PM) What are they saying? Also, Freddy may be sucking - but that run is on Ozzie. In a nutshell: Sox gotta pitch inside and they haven't been.

right down the middle and it luckily got smashed back to Garcia? No way!

HOLY CRAP, I agree with Hawk and DJ, preach on!

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 01:02 PM) 87 mph fastballs wont scare em. Freddy needs to get the ball DOWN, and keep it down all our starters are high and in the outer half of the plate. Even an 85 MPH high inside pitch will give you more to think about.

BINGO DJ, pitch inside!!

Freddy needs to throw a few 1st pitch high and tight fast balls.

c'mon Jimmy, now baby now

run dude RUN

Nice, now take 2 pitches so Pods can run. Bat boy can outrun Paulie

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 12:04 PM) So in other words: Kenny is working on something involving one of our starters. Thx for the translation. What else does KW really mean?

Straight from the horse's mouth. Now if you wish to continue with 375 pages of speculation from ambiguous, uninformed sources, or try to decode KW's 'secret stealth mode language', go ahead. http://www.suntimes.com/output/sox/cst-spt-sside16.html

Who is going to Pitchfork and which days?

Ahhh, the ole Jason Schmidt rumor again eh? This is one is like an ex gf you just can't shake.
