Only 1 walk that inning. That actually reduces his BB/inning pace today.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 08:23 PM) Give me Bedard in games against the Twins/Indians. If you're using "why didn't we get Bedard" as something to complain about as a failure of the GM, then yeah, I'm going to criticize. Maybe, maybe, maybe he'd be better in a spot start...but at the very best it's another crapshoot.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 08:17 PM) Do we even know if they're going to let Santiago start? I thought Millwood would have been a good fit, and I still wouldn't be shocked if KW brings in Bedard. Be honest...you get a choice. Millwood (4-12, 4.38 ERA in Safeco, .860 OPS against him int he 2nd half with 5.43 ERA since the break), Bedard (7-14, 5.01 ERA in Pittsburgh in the NL), or the young Axelrod/Santiago. You might take the vets, but I will simply scoff if you tell me that those guys are clearly major upgrades.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 08:13 PM) On the waiver wire? Quite possibly. In all honesty, would you have phrased that post in that particular way if Axelrod got bombed last start? Yes. Because on the waiver wire, unless you were picking up serious salary and giving up nonexistant talent, whatever pitcher you were to get would be equally likely to be shelled. For example...we got this one guy without giving up much...his name is Francisco Liriano... Otherwise, I'll wait for you to name the pitcher who got moved for nothing with very little contract who would do better.

We reached 6 walks through 3 innings.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 08:10 PM) Sale and Q were likely going to need a few starts skipped the rest of the way (or at least I hope so). And were we honestly going to find better potential fillins than Santiago and Axelrod? No.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 08:10 PM) They need to shut Q down. His ERA in August was 4.20. Skipping a start I could understand.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 08:04 PM) KW really needed to find a pitcher during the waiver period. As soon as Floyd went down, there should have been a rush to find someone. Were they going to bench Liriano, Peavy, Sale, or Quintana?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 08:06 PM) He hasn't been bad, it's just Tigers are an awful match-up for him. He should have been slotted to face the Twins. At least we didn't give up much for him, as it would have hurt more to give up a ton for Greinke and have the entire team collapse around him. I'd call 5 walks in 2.1 innings "He's been bad", I don't care who the matchup is. Throw a **** strike and see if they can hit it.

Wow, an out.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 08:04 PM) They might as well pull him now and put in Santiago. Santiago might still be needed for a spot start though, right?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 08:02 PM) He won't be back next year with the Sox But so many people told me that was a great idea and I should ignore his >5 ERA.

5 walks in 2+ innings. Quality.

wow, what a surprise, an RBI for cabrera.

GREAT WORK WITH THE WALK.

STOP BLEEPING WALKING THEM

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 07:50 PM) White Sox have the easiest schedule remaining statistically in the entire AL. That's a change from previous seasons down the stretch. That's because Cleveland, Minny, and KC are pretty bad on paper.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 07:50 PM) The problem is if Liriano only goes 5, that means we see Humber or the call-ups for a couple of innings. Either of those options against Cabrera/Fielder scares the s*** of me. Also, seems like tonight would have been a great time to play Danks for Viciedo. Did any pitchers actually get called up?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 07:26 PM) I missed the AJ at bat. How far away was he from a homer? not as close as viciedo yesterday.

Man up, Liriano.

Well, I have a dvr'd top chef masters, gave blood 3 hours ago, and have beer. Goodnight everybody.

Yup.
