Don't See a Game Thread So Here Goes..........

Saladino is a good ball player

White Sox up 3-0.

Then why isn't he a starter?

 

More proof of Ventura's unfitness as manager?

I think he could be a capable every day middle infielder on a team with a really good offense. Not this current team though.

Lawrie is better, and younger.

They are pretty much the same age, however, Saladino has shown steady improvement in his first two seasons in this league (this being his second year). That said, he obviously has the benefit of playing a platoon role which may help inflate his standalone cause. Defensively Tyler is the superior player and offensively, Tyler has shown some positive trends. Lawrie definitely has the more proven track record and slightly higher OPS from the offensive perspective. Tyler is also under team control for a while and while both have the benefit of being able to play multiple positions, Tyler can play 3B / SS / 2B and play them well. Basically put, I see more upside giving Tyler more playing time then Lawrie, given overall control (might as well see what we have, is it a darn good back-up or do we have a good serviceable starter).

Anderson hitless with bases loaded this year. 0-9 I believe

Amazing they kept him in for the 6th after hitting the wall in the 5th. Seen that before with Ranaudo

Amazing we have 55 appearances with a reliever with a 5.66 era

 

Great game by ranaudo

And Albers does what Albers does

Should have been DFA months ago. Never seen someone have so much damage done with 2 strikes.

And Albers does what Albers does

 

Probably not a bad pitch but then Albers then loses the strike zone. He needs to go

Albers is comically bad....Ventura can't be gone soon enough

Is it just me or are the White Sox trying to throw this game?

Albers is comically bad....Ventura can't be gone soon enough

 

 

Actually, its Hahn who needs to go the most since he's the reason why Albers is still on the team.

6.19 ERA now for Albers. Inexcusable he's lasted so long on the roster. This isn't the steroid era.

From Bad Albers to Worse Turner............

When the pen sucks your manager still has to be alert.

 

Why does Coop still have a job?

 

Great bullpen. You bring in a guy with an ERA touching 5 3/4 and then a guy with an ERA over 8 1/2 and in its way up

Albers should be gone Wednesday with some September call ups coming.

Why does Ventura give up so easily?

Anderson hits into an insane number of double plays

September is going to be a looking month of baseball for the Sox. They are going to get pounded by the division.

Sox are now 21-43 at Comerica since the start of the 2010 season. Ventura is 14-32. And I understand the Sox don't have a lot of choices but you look at the ERA's of the pitchers they used tonight...Ranaudo 8.7; Albers 6.1; Turner 7.7

 

YIKES!
