Carlos is pulling his head out.

Did he not know it was 3-2?

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 07:55 PM) Just wondering, how many consecutive no-hit innings has Buehrle pitched now? 9 last thursday and so far 3 today,... any before he was taken out of the game before his perfect game? No, he pitched 1/3 of an inning against BAL and gave up a hit before getting Markakis on a fly. So it's currently 12 straight innings.

37 straight for Mark.

Hawk, everyone in the MLB knows how to get him out judging by his .299 OBP.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 07:49 PM) Pods really has to stop with that slap crap with 2 strikes. He's been struggling with that. Also, think Alexei will ever realize THE MLB is going to throw him first pitch offspeed for every AB? Fixed.

Our offense is in a coma right now.

QUOTE (3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 07:46 PM) In Buehrle's start before TB against Baltimore, he didn't go 9, but got an out before he was pulled, so I guess you'd add 1 to the 27 and whatever happens tonight Yes, I have. He's currently at 34.

QUOTE (3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 07:43 PM) What's the record for a starter? Jenks' 41 was tied with the SP Jim Barr, so I'd guess 41?

34 straight for Mark.

Damn, good pitch to hit 3-2, just didn't do anything with it.

I couldn't even tell Beckham shaved.

I can see how Baker's fastball can sneak up on guys. Carlos' timing is off, that's basically it.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 07:27 PM) has hawk and stoney even mentioned the mark kotsay trade on tv since the game has started? i want to hear their opinion of it Yes. Hawk said he liked it for BA, wishes him well. Stoney likes the Pinch Hitter in Kotsay.

Buehrle's consecutive out streak is at 31. Before the perfecto, he got Markakis to fly out against Baltimore for his last batter.

It'd REALLY be nice if Alexei didn't roll over on every outside pitch.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 06:45 PM) If it's Fields and Hudson for Sherrill, that would be an awful trade!! Agreed.

MDGonzales: Williams said he spoke to Josh Fields and his agent about Fields' future. Sounds like Fields could be next to go

For minor snippets... Mike Gonzales' Twitter: MDGonzalesSox GM Williams said he was on the phone from 8:30 a.m. till 30 minutes ago, says some dialogue is more like Sr. Prom than 8th grade dance Cowley: cst_sox Fields could be the odd-man out after the game.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 04:15 PM) Sarcasm equates to insults? There was no sarcasm in your insults in this very thread. They were very frank and straight forward. I am not talking about what you said to myself i am talking about this thread with wcsox (who i do not particularly agree with) and yesterday in the game thread. While it is true you never asked myself or anyone else to respond, it's only logical why you or anyone makes a a post... it's because they want some sort of feedback on their thoughts. If that was not the case we would all be writing down our white sox and baseball thoughts down in a journal. Just seems to me a global moderator SHOULD NOT BE POSTING IN ALL CAPS!!! simply because they are frustrated someone does not agree with them, talk very snippy to others because they are pessimistic (game thread) then later go on to throw a temper tantrum later in that very thread... and of course insult. I found it amusing you threatened to ban people in the game thread while not possessing such power in the first place. Great scare tactic. You can go ahead and run to the secret board board once you see this to complain, but honestly i could care less, as yourself, not myself, is the one in the wrong. Sorry sir.

It just boggles my mind that you WOULDN'T want more runners on base in front of the heart of your order.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 03:34 PM) You have been very childish recently, if you have not noticed. Surprised anyone is even bothering to respond at this point. I'm a sarcastic asshole, I never asked you or anyone else to respond.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 03:34 PM) The Reds currently have ONE player with an OPS of .800 or higher in their lineup (Votto). For comparison's sake, the Sox have four. Because of this, the Sox don't need to rush a raw rookie into the top of the lineup. I wasn't talking about this season. I was talking about last season. LAST season, when Bruce was batting higher in the order, they had 3 players with an OPS over .800.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 03:28 PM) Optimizing your lineup. Please. OBP is not needed in the 2-hole. A .330 OBP is way better in front of the heart of your lineup than a .371 OBP.
