In the words of Dory: Just keep hitting, just keep hitting .. hitting hitting !

Yes !

Maz !!

Should follow up a lefty with the lefty with their lineup primed with LHH for the Dunning start. It wasn't in the cards for Crochet to be hurt . WHo do you want Rodon or Fry because thats your choices if you dont want to play into their hands.

Yes.

MaN thats a lot of hitting for just 1 run.

Oh so crushed 113MPH !!

Hey he got 2 outs . I'll take it.

Good start

I did it for game 1 and we won. Was working for Game 2 and we lost. SO once again I have liked every post to this point. Be good to each other and see you all in the White Sox Winner ! thread.

I hope they don't even need him in the most positive way that can be interpreted.

WOW again you are wrong .He mentioned Schwarber, Bryant and Baez also did he not ? ANd I rewatched his 1.2 inning so he was correct in who he faced. Are you deliberately lying or just so terrible at supporting your arguments ?

You are so stubborn. They were proven false. Again not burying my head because of one outing. I would think a mod should be more willing to admit he was wrong and not laugh at other posters. I won't rehash what you said and why it was wrong. I already did that and even said you could've used hyperbole to make your point. I am being totally fair in my assessment of the situation and you aren't. I hope he doesn't have to pitch today but if we win he just might be used again this postseason. You cannot ignore that he is on the roster for a reason over Detwiler.

Some will be taking something much stronger .

Nothing wrong with that. He's better against righties hitting left handed. If they switch to a lefty the rest of the lineup is good. If they bring in Montas he still bats lefty.

Sad that EE has to be included with the rest of them but it is warranted.

Tape that ankle up . let's goooooo !

Ok last post since I'm just basically arguing that a lot of thought has to be given to how a robo ump makes his balls and strikes calls for which it has to be highly individualized from batter to batter. I still disagree with you . Go measure your height standing straight up legs shoulder width apart, then measure again in your stance and then again when you swing with legs even farther part than your stance because of stride. You don't lift your whole body . Your legs are still bent and wide apart. You might lower your chin to your chest to stay on the ball and drop your back shoulder to get lift on your arms but you are much shorter in your stance and your swing always than when you are standing straight up with feet shoulder width apart.

And prepared to swing means still in your crouch with your knees bent weight on your back foot. And some players also have some bend at the waist .

Wait so you think that when swing you are relatively standing straight up ? I would highly disagree with that since your legs are relatively far apart when you take your stride forward. I still think that's a decent 2-4 inches lower than your actual height.

I always thought the strike zone was where the balls crosses the players body as long as its over the plate then and ump has to judge is it high or low according to where the batter is in the box and his stance. Of course the robo umps calling of balls and strikes gets a little easier if you don't count stance or where the hitter is in the box. Maybe where he is in the box doesn't matter but I don't see how stance can't matter since if you compare stance to actual height most probably lose 3 or 4 inches when you take your hitting stance.

Is that in the rule book ? Tell that to all the umps who gave Henderson all those walks all those years . No pone hits standing straight up . ALl hitters use at least some knee bend in their stance . How is that not supposed to count ?

No the rationale is that Kyyle said he didnt have one good outing in the last 2 years. As much as that may have been hyberole,in fact, he did have one this year and it was his last outing. Are the Sox never supposed to use him ? Why did they replace Detwiler with Rodon then ? 1st it was he didn't have one good outing, not true. Then it was he faced a weak Cub lineup, also proven not to be true. Then Kyle finally switches to is he "closer to a good pitcher or Dylan Covey" after all the other things he said were proven false . It's one thing to use false arguments and be proven wrong twice if anyone actually takes the time to look it up, but he should at least admit that before finally using another tactic. Using false info or hyperole to make your point only enflames those who already are using passion more than logic towards Rodon.

Best case scenario is you don't HAVE to use him but even if used at least his last outing was his best outing. That's the whole reason he took Detwilers place because they think FB/Slider could be effective as a reliever as long as he throws strikes.
