The Mighty Mite

Lately Ant, Meidroth are the only guys that go the other way on a consistent basis, sometimes Grichuk, Beni and Peters, Mune was earlier in the season.

I hope Getz sees everything that we see with Venable and his staff.

He’s not helping himself by not trying something different, after awhile you think he would get it unless he’s being told to keep swinging away by the hitting coach.

I always liked Pham but he’s probably not going help.

They just don’t get it and I blame the hitting coach.

Have to get that run but we don’t.

Hoyt Wilhelm was a standout reliever too but you are talking about 50-60 years ago with Wilhelm, Wood and Fisher Knuckleball pitchers. Gossage and Forster were fast ball pitchers with not much spin but I seem to remember Chuck Tanner using Gossage and Forster mainly in the 9th inning. When Gossage was traded and wound up with the Yankees he was strictly a 9th inning closer and one of the best ever. I do remember some guys in the 1960s and 1970s closing out games pitching 3 innings and regardless of the score constituting a save.

We need to win the series 3-1, a sweep would be more than great but first let’s win today’s game in Cleveland.

Stat from the game, White Sox with 12 Ks…… Guards with 2 Ks How on earth does Mune still have an OPS of .802?

Venable has to decide who the main closer is and whoever he decides on has to be out there for only the 9th inning, I never liked the closer out there for 2 innings.

We can’t have Mune or Colson at cleanup anymore, they are killing us, bat them 7th, 8th or 9th

Win the series tomorrow.

Now a DP.

I don’t think it would help.

I don’t think there’s any hope for Mune and Kolson.

Went from Sheets to Clemente.

Went from Sheets to Clemente.

I didn’t realize that, that’s unheard of in the modern game.

How about nervous.

Insurance runs time.

He refuses to just try to make contact with 2 strikes, Ant and Meidroth should teach him how to hit to the opposite field.

Yikes

Kolson…..210

Good eye by Teel, he’s so much more relaxed.

.211 BA .647 OPS
