I think the Tigers will struggle on the road especially if Max cannot get out there. I keep waiting for the offense to do something but it is just not happening.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 10:26 PM) Made no sense at all..............I would of rather seen Axelrod. Cleveland struggles against left handed pitching...well until this series they did. Although it is the lack of any sort of hitting that is the issue.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 08:52 PM) bring in a more veteran manager. They won't If you are going to bunt for a run in the fourth how is Veal not in the game with the bases loaded in the 4th then bring him in for the 5th.......

QUOTE (Spod=Ratings @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 08:51 PM) The extreme b****ing on this board really needs to stop so does the inept baseball

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 08:49 PM) He'll probably say he wanted to avoid the double play since De Aza hit into that one yesterday. Sadly that could be the case.

This managing is unbearable. yes bunt to get to that situation in the f***ING fourth inning. The man is way over his head right now.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 08:40 PM) Its his first year managing, there are going to be growing pains. How many of you thought the Sox would be contending this year? People need perspective. In the grand scheme of things it has been a great season but the last month has been a clown car. Bunting for a run with the bullpen in the game a pitcher struggling and a team that can not get a hit with RISP. This is exactly the point. Lefties are hitting Masterson so we give one up to get to the rightie. f***ING STUPID!!!

The Indians suck Masterson can not throw a strike yet the White Sox will swing at the first thing that looks like it could be a strike. Here comes a 8 pitch inning.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 08:37 PM) Robin is in way over his head. This is terrible. It really is sad.

What and the f*** is going on here.

Anybody got a scouting report on Russ Canzler as he is about to break the game wide open

The defensive swings to stay alive are somethign the Sox really could work on as opposed to the lazy ground outs.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 08:31 PM) Kipnis literally has an OPS that's .200 points higher against righties. This franchise refuses to use any type of statistical analysis to help their cause and it starts with Cooper.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 08:30 PM) Nice one Robin. Absolutely inexcusable pitching move there. Ventura has choked more than anyone on this team down the stretch. Not only did he not play the match up, but he brought in maybe the worst righty in our pen. He is looking more clueless as the games go by.

Well that move did not work.

So the team that can not hit lefties is doing just fine this series Now Omorgosso is going to come in after the work he put in yesterday, seriously. This is not going to end well.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 08:21 PM) Why in the hell would you throw the screwball in that situation when you've had no command of it all season? Got to get someone up in the pen. Low baseball IQ thought the hitter would be over anxious which is the case with the White Sox. Omogrosso again......bring Liriano

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 08:11 PM) Hell, they should have played Johnson for PK and Olmedo for Alexei tonight. Ramirez and Wise had had terrible at bats this game and Santiago is not long for this game. I really wish the Sox would at least attempt to shorten up their stroke once in a while.

Sanchez cruising right along. We need a Liriano type implosion here although Chen is not long for this game.

I have a feeling the Tigers are going to win by at least ten tonight.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 03:47 PM) As much as I want the Sox to win...I have the exact same amount of confidence that they are actually going to pull it out. Cy Chen really needs to come through for us, but knowing him and the Royals they will totally f*** us over once again this season Cy Chen has an ERA of 5.22.

Seems that after the Royal game where the opportunities were pissed away this team has really tanked.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 03:10 PM) With normal defense, we are leading 2-1. Or you can just say the fourth would have ended 1-0 Same with Kansas City withe two balls hit to center that were not caught. Cannot just simply s*** the bed because a play is not made and that is what he does. This offense is the issue though not the pitching.

My hated from Liriano is almost uncontrollable at this point but this game still rests on the inept offense. As the pitchers pitch count is up there he is now breezing through the lineup once again. 8 in a row retired.

Watching the Indians hit makes me almost hate Liriano.
