To adjust the angle enough to get the ball out of the sun, you'd have to run at least 10 feet to the left or right, as it's coming down. Unfortunately, the sun wins sometimes. I'm not mad. Do I think some OF'ers have that played better? Yes, probably. But it didn't cost us, it was a tough play and he didn't make it.

You don't hit guys with splitters on purpose. Why is this so hard to understand?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 18, 2012 -> 05:24 PM) Yes it was intentional. Watch the replay. They call certain pitchers headhunters for a reason. I'd like to hear more about what hawk said on the postgame interview. Did Hawk change his stance that the punk threw at Paulie? Great win. Interesting the Sox could hang on with the lovefest of Wood going on. Two good young relievers on the White Sox. The rest of them blow, however, with the exception of maybe Crain on certain nights. Beckham's clutch homer again proves he has some special talent. He needs to get his act together and start blossoming. It seems like he tries and does not loaf. There's just something missing in his offensive game. Not today, however. Nice bomb. lol like lol board rules prevent me from stating my thoughts

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 18, 2012 -> 05:42 PM) Don't know if this was commented on, but Smardjia hit Heyward the next time up after he homered earlier this year. Make of that what you will. That one was intentional, for sure. First pitch fastball and the catcher didn't even move.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 18, 2012 -> 09:17 AM) Ignoring the fact that his OPS in the minors was abysmal? I'd imagine it is likely >.400. I'm not campaigning to make Eduardo a fixture over there, but he is clearly better than Morel right now. It's clear from watching the games and we're only making Morel worse by leaving him out there to die.

I think he feels very out of place as the unofficial Cubs spokesman on a White Sox broadcast.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ May 18, 2012 -> 04:23 PM) Missed the game. Can somebody tell me more about PK getting beaned? Was it intentional? Samardzija barely missed him with a fastball up and in. Next pitch was a splitter and hit Paulie in the eye/underside of the visor of his helmet. 2-2 count. 0 chance he meant to hit him, because that's not how you do it. If it was a fastball, there would be a little doubt. Pitchers that are anxious pitching to a guy that just hit his fastball a mile tend to let them slip a little early, especially something like a splitter.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 18, 2012 -> 04:09 PM) For those of you that played outfield, regardless of sunglasses and mitt, you know that if the ball goes into the sun on the way down, you're f***ed. That's the worst. I expect a pro to be able to adjust his angle and not let that happen. However, Rios doesn't play many day games, has rarely played in Wrigley, and I assume he won't let it happen again. No big deal.

Might be a little bit before we know about possible concussion.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 18, 2012 -> 04:04 PM) Sunglasses on and a glove to shield the sun .............no excuse! Who gives a s***, we won!!!

This is why we're fans.

f*** the cubs.

WHITE SOX WINNAAAAA

throw the slider!

I won't be mad if we don't lose.

Well, make a pitch Addison.

This s***

2 down!

big out!

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 18, 2012 -> 03:51 PM) If you were within a mile of me, I would seek you out and punch you in the face.

Eduardo is twice the hitter that Morel is right now.

Cubs have lots of lettuce, just a little production

This is going to be Reed's highest pressure appearance yet.

THATTA BOY NATE JONES!

Great job!
