LOL. Great play Aaron. Great great backup.

i've never seen something like that before.

that's called chemistry folks

WOW!!!!!!!!!

 

Aaron Rowand, YES!!

i've never seen something like that before.

Backing up a player when they cannot see a ball? If you say so...

Hasn't Contreras owned the Indians in his career?  I wouldn't say he's a good starter by a start against a team he hasn't ever had a problem with.

 

How many times are we (or more importantly Contreras) facing the Indians in the second half? Probably a few. Maybe Burnett will always pitch horrible against them or other AL Central teams.

Rowand backs up Pods.

Still a good play by Rowand. I bet a lot of CFs never get over there.

That's called lack of concentration by the LF, and the CF doing his job. That is also the reason the White Sox are lucky Aaron wants every flyball hit to the outfield.

Exactly. Chemistry has nothing to do with it.

 

 

Contreras walks martinez with two outs. Just get through the damn inning please.

most centerfielders would not make that play.

they know each other so well, he was able to cover.

oh well

Why is he afraid of Martinez?

LOL. How is that lack of concentration? He lost it in the freaking lights.

 

That's meant to be sarcasm right?

Did you see how far he ran? You never see a CF'er run into LF to back up the LFer. Left-center is one thing, but that ball was in straight-away left...

They worked the rotation so Contreras and Duque would face the Central far less than the other three.

let's all give it up for jose

So how is that chemistry?

Didn't say it was, did I?

 

But you don't see a CF'er ever back-up the LF'er in straight-away left field...

I'll definitely give him his due. That was great, but he better not be out there for the 7th. I doubt he will, just saying.

lets score at least one more run damn it!

Great heads up play by Aaron there. Although this team has great chemistry, I don't think it applied to this situation right here.

LOL. How is that lack of concentration? He lost it in the freaking lights.

He didn't lose it in the lights. It was hit too high. He lost it in the sky. Podsednik is probably picking the ball up off the bat. With all the trouble he has had this year losing balls in the sky, he has to concentrate on the ball out of Contreras' hand. I know it doesn't seem like it makes a difference, but it really does.

Didn't say it was, did I?

No but the response of mine you quoted was asking soxnbears how that play anything to do with chemistry. No chemistry was involved... it was just a smart heads up play by one of the best ''fielding'' center fielders in the game.

With the way Cotts pitched right before the break, I'm a little wary of bringing him into a 1-run game.
