Jake

Wait, what made them think AJ was bunting for a hit?

Rios's approach at the plate is just impeccable.

"We told you that the White Sox play excellent defense and....tonight....we've seen excellent defense from Milwaukee"

Bacon looking good today.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 08:39 PM) Wow, Lillibridge feel free to give some kind of catch attempt I wondered the same thing. It could have saved us a base not going after it, but it seemed like he had time to get there. I don't know.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 08:38 PM) Hahaha, what the hell? lol it was a great post, sunofgold becoming one of my favorites

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 08:34 PM) Loe significantly better against righties than lefties. Not sure what Ventura is saving ADA for, as it's not like he's going to hit for anyone else in the lineup. Perhaps taking the off day idea very seriously (or ADA is hurting/sore/etc)

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 08:33 PM) Except him doing that is highly unlikely The larger problem would be identifying when he has turned the corner. A week of good hitting? Two? ....and Brent Lillibridge STILL doesn't know what an offspeed pitch looks like

Hudson hitting at a .250 pace from here on out could sure save us a lot of headache.

O DAWG IS YOUR MOTHERf***ING DADDY

Dayan not well scouted, he gets a lot of hits on soft grounders through the middle

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 08:22 PM) I want to use the swear filter to change the phrase "DFA" to "I know nothing about baseball and I'm unworthy of using this abbreviation". Does Lilli have options?

The Tank can save us

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 08:20 PM) Good to see Tank is 2-2. Game not on TV or mlb so I looking at box score. Lilly 0-3. WOW. He should be DFAed IMO. He can't hit a baseball anymore. He also made a stupid mistake throwing to the wrong base.

Rios has become my favorite White Sox to watch bat

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 08:15 PM) Other teams have had no problem utilizing them correctly. If you were going to use Ohman tonight, it should have been to face their first two hitters in the lineup. Ohman this year has been no different than the rest of his career save giving up an inordinate amount of home runs, which might be better attributed to his old age. I don't think we were going to use him against that part of the order normally but I think they were saving for Bruney for an emergency type appearance on his first day with the club.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 08:13 PM) The Sox pen has an ERA of 3.78, Milwaukee's pen has an ERA of 4.49, yet this thread has said the Sox have already pissed away the game. I would like to say that my post said "not a good game to piss away" The pissing has only started, not finished

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 08:12 PM) It's useful in our division with guys like Mauer, Morneau, Hosmer, Fielder and all the Indians lefties. Problem is Ventura and Ozzie had no clue how to use them. You just can't use them only as such. Too much dead weight to save him for just one batter when most games you don't need to face a key lefty.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 08:11 PM) So if Thornton gets traded that leaves us with Ohman and Santiago as our loogy.... not good Thornton is no better against lefties than righties, doesn't make for much of a LOOGY. He's just an effective reliever

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 08:10 PM) Bulls***, you don't bring in a LOOGY to face a righty. End of story, that's Managing 101 Jones has been overused and normally that would have been a Brian Bruney/Zach Stewart appearance, but I don't believe them to be available. I think Jones needs some protecting, ie getting to start his own innings until he gets his game going

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 08:08 PM) Ha, Jones can't field his position. This team blows right now in every aspect. Not exactly an easy play

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 08:07 PM) Cause he has the slightest clue how to handle the pitching. It's a big reason for the terrible record in close games this year. Guys like Will Ohman have to be able to get outs in 6th, you don't want Nate Jones pitching in the 6th on a regular basis. Starter needs to make it or else you're choosing between Ohman and Santiago

Not a good game to piss away

What the f*** are you doing Brent

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2012 -> 08:00 PM) He's at Yankees next week....yikes. Hopefully we can get him the win here. He'd have a much better chance if he would just pitch inside and not waste 3 pitches per at bat trying to get a swing and miss
