QUOTE (earthshiner @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 06:24 PM) ok this is so weird, there is audio but no broadcasters from the toronto feed on mlb.tv yeah, very weird indeed, though i'd rather hear nothing than hear hawk. he's been brutal to start the year

Watching the Twins game, that ballpark is going to eat our right-handed hitters alive. Ball flies out of right field with little to no effort. Kubel just hit a flyball out of the park over the RF wall, and the ball looked like it could've just kept going if it weren't for the 300 foot stadium seats We neeeeeeed AGon

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 04:44 PM) Today would have been a great day to give Nix some ABs. Tallet isn't the greatest left hander in baseball or anything... didn't he 2-hit us last year?

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 07:58 PM) Can Jones' body hold up if he plays outfield everyday? It's a long season and I think everybody will be needed to contribute all year long. Has he been injury prone in the past? And if so, was it due to him being out of shape? I don't know the answer to those questions, maybe somebody else here does..

1. Pierre (DH) 2. Pierzynski © 3. Beckham (2B) 4. Konerko (1B) 5. Quentin (RF) 6. Rios (CF) 7. Teahen (3B) 8. Jones (LF) 9. Ramirez (SS) L, L, R, R, R, R, L, R, R 4 Righties in a row, but the lineup turns over to L, R, R, L, L AJ is a good contact hitter, and has proven he can hit #2 adequately, which moves Beckham down to where he should be: an RBI position Gives us an even better defensive outfield, as I think Jones could easily patrol LF on a daily basis and give us better defensive numbers than what Pierre could put up, and puts Kotsay on the bench, giving Quentin & Konerko days off Pierre shouldn't be in LF, I mean really... he shouldn't. It's sad that our DH would be a slap-hitting speedster who (lately) struggles to even get on base, but Ozzie's going to put him in the lineup 150+ games this year, so if he's going to be playing that frequently, DH him.. don't let his defensive inadequacies hurt the team when you have a steller OF rotting on the bench in Jones. Oh, and he's looked pretty good with the bat this year in the small sample size he's been given I'm sure you guys could tinker with that lineup and probably find better spots to put guys, but those are who I (personally, feel free to speak your mind please!) feel should be in the lineup on a daily basis until it's proven that it isn't working. Because right now, the lineup we have obviously isn't really doing much of anything I wanted to post this on a day where we won, and not on a day we lost because it would look like I was speaking out because of a loss. But this is a lineup I would've preferred on opening day. Seriously, I think Jones should be playing everyday.. Just my two cents!

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 02:20 PM) at least he walks well. we'll see how long that lasts, he doesn't take walks if you look at his career numbers. once he starts hitting even a little bit we'll start seeing the average rise and the OBP start taking a dip due to the increased strikeouts

Teahen now hitting .096 with ~.360 OBP

Teahen .096 with a .333OBP @_@

Scott "El Duque" Linebrink

QUOTE (joeynach @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 02:09 PM) Scott Linebrink and Randy Williams are essentially our verson of the Clown Car, they are mop up duty only and should never be counted on to get outs in close games. What is Ozzie doing, everyone knows those guys are the pen scrubs...why are they allowed to pitch in tight game situations. The problem is our starting pitching is going to make 80% of the games we play close games, you'll see very few blowouts where situations for Linebrink and Williams will present themselves, hence the frustration

Juan Podsednik

Just handing the game over on a silver platter at this point, Williams has nothing. Was there ever a doubt? What do you think will happen when Linebrink comes in? It'll be the same s*** from the other side of the mound

Randy "The BP Machine" Williams "Daddy, how did you get that nickname?"

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 02:00 PM) That AJ and Flowers are terrible hitters? Whats tough to comprehend abou that? the comment isn't tough to comprehend. the fact that there's a real person walking around and breathing, and believes that to be true is what's hard to comprehend.

the worst swings i've seen in my life from a professional baseball team, on anything that isn't a fastball inside i want new hitters! the scouting report on the white sox is in the smithsonian collecting dust and cobwebs

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 01:49 PM) \Both are awful hitters. That doesnt help anything Your posts are unreadable man, where do you get off saying some of this crap?

Ballgame

Sweaty Freddy Garcia.

I sense a runner at 3rd with 1 out at the bare minimum here, stupid stupid stupid leadoff walks

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 01:29 PM) If we're relying on Grodon to be a big time run producer this year we're screwed. it's the 5th game of the YEAR WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE, HAVE YOU NEVER WATCHED BASEBALL BEFORE?? i can't believe some of the things i'm reading here, my god

unreal, beckham has no clue right now

Baker has absolutely nothing today, if you're watching this game you can clearly see that His offspeed stuff is in the dirt, and breaking stuff is flat as well as his fastball has very little movement on it Lets get some more runs while we still can

Wooooooooooooooooo

Leadoff double, here's where the next hitter gets all tight-ass and f***s something up, or AJ gets picked off or forgets how many outs there are
