QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 21, 2014 -> 10:53 PM) To learn if he had the resiliency and command/control to throw three consecutive games? He had good velocity even tonight, that wasn't the problem. We needed a pitcher who could force Butler to hit the ball on the ground, and that was probably Putnam...who Robin probably doesn't feel should be used up in tie game at this point. There is only one guy in the bullpen who should be used in a tie game, unfortunately. Have to go with whoever has the best chance to get what you are looking for. Petricka was the only one up at the beginning of the inning which was a mistake by Robin/Coop.. I said Putnam should have been used also, he gets the most ground balls and probably wouldn't of gave something to Butler to drive in to the outfield.. Petricka pitched the last two nights in high leverage situations, I understand he has been pretty good so far but still.. If anything he should have been put in after the bunt single by Aoki..

Not Francisco, he was gre.... Oh nevermind..

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 21, 2014 -> 10:38 PM) NONE Exactly. He has had an almost 2 month slump. I don't even think you can call that a slump, it is just a player that can't hit the damn ball consistently anymore

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 21, 2014 -> 10:12 PM) Some good news with Sale back. Frank Francisco DFA after game. also more bad news De Aza 2 for last 28 Besides the first couple games has he had a good streak of games yet? I mean he is batting .180

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 21, 2014 -> 09:56 PM) Well, a bunt with a 1-2 count ... what are you going to do? How many times have you ever seen the White Sox pull that off successfully? Japanese players know how to play the game properly better than anyone in the world, at least in terms of fundamentals. With a runner on 1st on a flukey play and one out, it's not like Quintana was getting ripped all around the park. I understand. I have already said my point twice in the last few pages so I won't repeat myself.

Can't believe we had 3 hits off of Guthrie.. Yost took him out at the right time. Robin did not take out Q at the right time

Wow, Alexei

Alright, need a clutch hit here 10

Come on Dunn, hit another jack

With that delivery I am not sure how Holland throws strikes

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 21, 2014 -> 09:38 PM) No reason he should have been taken out. I have no idea why Daniel Webb wasn't put in the game instead of Petricka. He is the only reliever besides Guerra who hasn't thrown in KC. I find it hard that he wasn't told he was hot before the game. Q has not pitched well when going through the line up a 3rd or 4th time plus he as at 100 pitches.. After that bunt he should have defiantly been taken out for a right hander (I would have put in Putnam or Webb)

Who ever controls the pitching changes and who comes in needs to hand over his duties

Isn't it 3-1?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 21, 2014 -> 09:31 PM) Good point but the bunt was one of those things. Then Escobar slugged his fastball for a 2B and just like that game ova (with Holland) Yeah I know, nothing he can do about the bunt.. I think he should have been taken out right there though

Don't understand why Petricka is pitching for the 3rd game in a row.. We needed a ground ball, Putnam should have been in

Damn it

Reason I didn't want to see Q come back out: He hasn't had much success going through line ups 2, 3, or 4th times.. I had a feeling something was going to happen.. Too bad he didn't throw an off speed pitch on Aoki's bunt

awesome... Really didn't want to see Quintana come back out for the 8th

Nobody seems interested in hitting the ball

Great outing by Quintana. Can we get this guy a win please?

3 hits......

That looked a little intentional but I am sure it wasnt

It is simply pathetic we can't hit Guthrie, and of course they don't hit when I can watch the game

Anybody watching on MLBTV?? Keeps going to commercial in the middle of the game

For Quintana, he has a low pitch count. He is usually much higher.
