So much for that... Rondell Friggin White ties it with a solo shot...

What happened in the top of the 2nd where Crede was forced at second yet Pods makes it there safe?

Crede in rundown, Pods took 2nd.

Ground ball to the pitcher ... Crede caught in a pickle ... kept it going long enough for Pods to get to 2nd.

Tied 1-1 after two innings complete

Thanks!

crede was caught in a pickle between 2nd and 3rd, and while the tigers were chasing him down, podsednik made it to 2nd

Looks like Det. is giving Buehrle a little ride on those deep fly balls...

Bonderman with 46 pitches after 2 innings. Mark with 22.

That's good, but it's time we turn them into hits.

In addition, I don't think "Ozzie is too stupid to change the lineup" as qwerty so delicately put it.  I think Ozzie is trying to keep some stability and consistency in the lineup while getting his bench some playing and keeping his starters rested.

 

I think about more than just the current game when I'm evaluating Ozzie's decisions.  That's beyond some people.

 

I am sorry but it makes no sense to just plop in whoever you are replacing in the field in the same exact spot in the line-up. I have no problems with him giving guys days off. But timo batting lead-off? Batting fifth? Can't wait until he learns to play first and he bats clean up for us.

if he turns it around, we're gonna regret that 1st inning.

I already do.

This should strike fear in the rest of the ALC. This team has only begun to fight!

 

RISP ALC:

MIN: .224OBPA .377SLGA .221BAA 15RA (unbelievable!)

WSX: .327OBPA .319SLGA .222BAA 32RA (distorted by two gms)

DET: .362OBPA .487SLGA .286BAA 33RA (much improved)

CLE: .363OBPA .451SLGA .294BAA 31RA (unexpectantly poor)

KAN: .378OBPA .471SLGA .304BAA 52RA (really bad)

 

MIN: .309BA .400OBP .547SLG 61R (very good w RISP)

DET: .333BA .373OBP .500SLG 71R (surprisingly good)

CLE: .226BA .336OBP .304SLG 41R (surprisingly weak)

KAN: .233BA .271OBP .353SLG 39R (expectantly weak)

WSX: .202BA .234OBP .292SLG 39R (shockingly worst in the ALC)

 

And yet we lead MIN by 2gms, & DET, CLE by 5 gms. Does anybody really think the WSX will remain dead last w RISP in the ALC this year? I sure don't. Especially when Thomas returns.

 

For the naysayers, it's inevitable the offense will start firing on all cylinders. But there's no reason to think the defense will tail off. We are living on the DP right now & a team only gets better with practice & more experience in that dept. Not worse. I'm not shy in saying that we may have the best IF in all of the AL right now. That greatly helps any pitching staff.

 

We have KW to thank for that. He got us Uribe, & Guch. Two guys none of us thought or even dreamed of being White Sos before KW brought them here.

 

SOX 1, DET 1 RON 1,2 1 out, B3rd

As I said, sometimes you have to think about more than today's game. Keeping consistency with your line up is important too. We don't want to go back to the tinkering days of Jerry Manuel.

2-1 tigs

Pudge with a bloop shot. 2-1 tigers.

The one thing for sure, the home plate umpire sucks today....That pitch to Rowand in the 1st wasn't a strike, same to Dye in the 3rd :puke

End of the 3rd. Sox trailing 2-1

Awesome DP! Mark gets out of a serious jam. SOX 1, DET 2 T4th

Hawk called that double play. Mark not looking great but holds it to a 2-1 ballgame.

1-6-3 dp, thatta boy Mark.

Quick 1-2-3 inning
