When Grandal goes bad he goes really bad; it's been the story of his career.

Low. Away.  Swinging Strike. 

I hate to say it but Grandal has looked horrible at the plate so far.

i would like to see the parrot please

So the Tribe #5 is unhittable. 

 

CY Plesac

I think Cleveland's advance scouts kill Sox hitters. 

Fact is, umpire has a big zone away and low. Plesac has lived there. Sox haven't laid off and have been forced to chase things slightly off. A recipe for good pitching performances... as we are seeing. 

I’ll be glad when Encarnacion shows up.

Technically, no.

Another cookie missed...need more time in the cage EE?

Hard hit ball.  Right at a defender. 

Sheesh are you sleeping are you sleeping ........

Grandal is Swisher 2.0 so far

While the Sox pitchers refuse to go there, not least not often.

Different players same team. This looks like the last 10 years

Grandal looks like he's joined the cast of the Walking Dead:  Mil-lee-wok-kay with Alice Cooper

The patented 2 minute, 32 second White Sox half inning of offense.

I'll be glad when anyone does this series. Hopefully Royals pitching cures these bad bats

LOL at career high.

This was Zack Plesac's 12th career start and Civales 22nd? I believe. 

And they both dominated us!  That’s the point, bad luck & sequencing doesn’t change the fact we’ve had horrible approaches these past few games.  There really isn’t a debate here.

Are you watching the same game I am? Pitching is dominating for both teams with a bigger zone.

Sox need to stop chasing balls - imagine a little bit of pressing. Someone needs to relieve the pressure from the balloon.

Oh man. Don’t go there.

He's a notoriously slow starter yet despite knowing that (or maybe you didn't) you were psyched when they signed him. Relax

Giolito's benefited from this expanded strike zone, too.   Unfortunately, the hitters haven't made the adjustments.

He was at 85 pitches.... why is he out?  We can't leave our #1 out there for more than 6 inning and less than 90 pitches?  Especially with a taxed bullpen after the last 3 games.  Wow.
