Frank with an infield single. Figgins made a great stop along the third base line but the throw was a bit off at third.

 

Willie moves into third, Carlos up.

Way to go Elcaballo!  

Nice 15 game hit streak with the 2b!

 

Anyone want to continue to hate on Carlos?

Carlos can get me off his back with a hit here.

Carlos has a terrible plate approach with RISP.

 

Not sure of his numbers, but he CONSISTENTLY swings at the first pitch; usually grounding/popping out.

first pitch ground outs don't help his cause any.

Carlos Lee grounds out to first baseman Casey Kotchman.

 

To the 4th the Sox go.

Kansas City is leading the Twins: 1-0

2 damn innings in a row with a leadoff double and they don't score.

Yeah, Cora has used some good judgement.

 

Real bad play by Olivo.

That's right Cora needs to make him put on the breaks. That is what that little guy is there for. We could be tied by now

Coming into today Carlos was batting a team worst .115 w/RISP and 2 outs.

He just dropped that average to .111 :puke

1, 2, 3 goes Anaheim.

you can also look at Crede first pitch swinging last inning. Why does it seem that Carlos, Maggs, Crede and Koney ALWAYS swing at the first pitch (and often hit it weakly) when there are RISP

Cheat, what site do you use for collecting stats?

 

I browsed through whitesox.com, but they show Carlos' numbers from RISP and 2 outs as seperate items.

3 groundouts, nice quick inning, let's put some runs on the board!!!!

This year pauly has been great w/ RISP -- .409AVG 1.099OPS -- I don't think he should be included in that group.

ESPN has tons of sortable stats

Paul Konerko called out on strikes.

 

Come on Sox! You need to get some runs.

We have a runner in scoring position (second) and Crede has to get him home.

Jose takes out Ekstein's feet at 2nd, so Rowand is safe on a would-be DP. Inning alive.

 

Rowand then swipes 2nd. 2 outs. That's where good teams make them pay.

Glad to see Rowand run last inning. Small ball might be the only way we win this game.

 

Escobar is at 75 pitches through 4 innings. If their lead stays on course we're going to have to battle back against a very tough bullpen.

Bats have gone cold. Quite frankly it should be 1-1 but olivio ran us out of that. We need to manufacture a run or two tonight. The big bats are silent. Damn, hate to lose this with rauch pitching tommorrow.

Good teams don't trot out a corner infileder who's flirting with the mendoza line.

I don't know what's wrong with Joe, but it looks like he's not even trying. No wonder his batting average is so low.

 

Meanwhile, the Twins and Royals are tied: 1-1

and Crede flies out to end another inning with a runner in scoring position..... :banghead

First of all i love Joe, but i cant take it anymore. He has a very sick glove maybe one of the best in the Americna League, but he cant hit. I cant remeber the last time joe came up with a big hit, and its killing us. Sorry joe but we need some hits or your toast

so many blown opportunities. Even in games where we win it seems as if we flat out suck w/RISP 2-outs, i could be wrong, havent looked up the stat, it just seems that way. *sigh*

 

Still a lotta time left
