June 24, 200421 yr Bottom of 6th: Konerko- Solo HR to LF Valentin- Pop up to Blake in foul territory Crede- walk Burke- Fly out to CF Crede advances to 2B on wild pitch Alomar- ground out to SS 5-3 bad guys going into top of 7th
June 24, 200421 yr I think first and foremost the staff isn't as good as they performe early on. Secondly, as Jester and I have said the roof is playing a factor, lot of balls are sailing out that last year weren't. With that being said the pitchers still need to do a better job and try to keep the ball down in the zone. They are inconsistent for sure. But, Showtime, the Sox management claims that roof doesn't affect the ball. You obviously disgree.
June 24, 200421 yr I like Jamie Burke... everytime he is in the line up he seems to do some pretty good things offensively.
June 24, 200421 yr They are inconsistent for sure. But, Showtime, the Sox management claims that roof doesn't affect the ball. You obviously disgree. Well thats the only explanation I can see for all these fly balls just floating out of here. I mean how many times have we seen mutli homer games from both teams and it leaves you shaking your head?
June 24, 200421 yr Top of 7th: Belliard- ground out to 3B Vizquel- Fly out to RF Lawton- ground out to Pitcher 5-3 bad guys going into bottom of 7th
June 24, 200421 yr They are inconsistent for sure. But, Showtime, the Sox management claims that roof doesn't affect the ball. You obviously disgree. Well, they've said they we're told by the firm doing the work that it wouldn't have an effect. I'm not an expert, but lowering the roof has a big effect on the wind and how it helps or hurts the ball. Either way the staff needs to get it in gear.
June 24, 200421 yr Sox could be in some deep s*** if they keep losing to the Indians and then face the Cubs and if they can't beat the Cubs. The Sox will be looking at the Twins and Indians up above them.
June 24, 200421 yr Well thats the only explanation I can see for all these fly balls just floating out of here. I mean how many times have we seen mutli homer games from both teams and it leaves you shaking your head? I am not disagreeing with you at all. I have to wonder too. It is a bit ridiculous when you hear the stat that the Sox hurlers are second in most homers allowed.
June 24, 200421 yr I just kind of wonder if they put wind deflectors of some sort on the roof if that would help a little?
June 24, 200421 yr THOMAS!!!! RUN YOU PANSY!!!!! My god did he launch that ball. How did that not go out? Still, Thomas should of ran it out for the Triple.
June 24, 200421 yr that seems to be our style this season Who cares.......??? Lee needs to pick him up right here.
June 24, 200421 yr Bottom of 7th: Rafael Betancourt replaces Cliff Lee Rowand- ground out to 3B Uribe- strikeout (called) Thomas- reaches 2B on error by Lawton Lee- single to LF Thomas scores, Lee out trying to advance to 2B 5-4 bad guys going into the top of 8th
