QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 4, 2016 -> 09:47 PM) Uh if we remember "way back" to last year, then you should remember righties destroying him. They put up a .OPS last year, 200 points higher than him vs lefties. In double the at bats I.e. he is not exclusively our LOOGY and it wasn't giving up putting him in. We've used him for full innings the last two weeks.

We got Bogaerts out!

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 4, 2016 -> 09:45 PM) Don't attack me; I'm only being half serious. But everybody says we need lefty reliever(s). Ask Danks to go to Charlotte for a week and a half to get used to being a reliever?? He has experience and a decent resume when healthy. They did ask Danks to go to Charlotte. He declined.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 4, 2016 -> 09:40 PM) I think that's the point. Jennings has reverse splits-ish. Why leave Duke in vs righties when you got Jennings who has been phenomenal vs both as of late. Because he's a pitcher that's also successful vs righties? Because he is used for full innings after Robin initially eased him in? He's better against lefties but not by a lot, if you remember way back to last year or the year before that he was a set up man.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 4, 2016 -> 09:40 PM) Are any of you guys going to see a Sox game in person in the near future? I might go on Saturday, not 100% sure yet. Friday

Wellp

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2016 -> 09:35 PM) Just wish they would expand Jennings role a bit. Duke is gonna lead the league in appearances at this rate. Me too but he's not exactly a lefty specialist, he's had years with more success can righties

QUOTE (shysocks @ May 4, 2016 -> 09:32 PM) Duke isn't a LOOGY and he shouldn't be behind Jennings. Go have a look at his game log, he was rolling before tonight. Shhh....if Duke is in to face a lefty its "Duke is not a LOOGY!", when he is in to face right handlers its "why is our LOOGY in to face righties????"

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 4, 2016 -> 09:28 PM) Buchholz has not given up a hit since there was one out in the second inning. @RedSox Clay Buchholz has retired 16 of his last 17. Ian Browne Despite all this seemingly negative information, it has a positive silver lining. The pressure on Hahn will increase to get some kind of left-handed help to counter RH pitching. Yes, I'm sure one game has Hahn in a vice. I wonder if he has already received the performance improvement plan, one has to wonder.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 4, 2016 -> 09:26 PM) Why is Duke back out there with nobody in the bullpen? Jennings is

Great play by Rollins, nice defensive placement

QUOTE (shysocks @ May 4, 2016 -> 09:25 PM) I can't wait to enthusiastically not attend that Styx show. Lol

Say what you want, buchholz earned it tonight. After the third he's been painting

attaboy sandy

Yeahhhh now the outside strike is there

Here comes the healthy serving of curveballs Melky. Don't swing edit D'oh

I like this part of the lineup to start

Nice recovery. He basically got two double play balls. Let's go offense, need 2!

Damn it. As soon as Navarro shifted inside I knew we'd be in trouble. Stay out off his wheelhouse Navarro, he's c Killed us twice

Really nice pitches so far. Avoid the mistake!

Putnam is good. Your guys standards for bullpen pitchers is that they never give up a run or else they are trash. pitcheds need their reps too

Oh boy. Duke vs Ortiz?

Woof my bad

Nvm I'll take a hit!

2 homers please?
