Riske needs to limit this to 1 run

Pods continues his clinic on how not to play LF

 

Is Pods trying to give us reasons not to like him?

Man, someone got to you today. I know it's ironic to hear this from me, but calm down.

 

What are you talking about?

He's prophesizing doom over the rotation.

All I'm saying is, if he feels the need to blow the team up and trash the pitching and talk about how poor our rotation is, he can feel free to hop off that bridge but I'm not joining him there.

We're digging our own grave.

And thats why when you have the #9 hitter down 0-2, you don't f***ing WALK him.

 

:headshake

weve given up 6 runs, i rather it had been with all hr's by ortiz and manny then by the likes of cora and s***. ugghhhghghgghg

aj cant throw for s*** either

Sure doesn't help when they get Lance Johnson jumps everytime.

you don't deserve to win when you walk the 9spot on on 0-2 count......

Not true.

 

Umm....yes it is

our pitching is a joke...

Here comes the Big Papi homer...a la Hafner off of Cotts.

Is this why Riske got zero holds last year? Is this normal for him?

wow, melodramatic. all hes saying is that the starting pitching has not been impressive thus far this year outside contreras. i think many will agree.

Then walk a guy with 2 outs and put Pig Sloppy up to bat.

With the way its gone with the defense, Pods lollypoping the ball home on a play where he had no chance, thus allowing a runner into second, most likely will cost the White Sox another run.

Fine, go jump off the bridge because of the rotation.

 

Nobody is jumping off a bridge. But I'm not being a blind homer, either. How can one not be concerned with Freddy Garcia right now? Now, I agree that saying s*** like "he sucks" or "trade him for a bag of popcorn" is going overboard.

sloppy baseball

AJs arm isnt really that bad, but when your pitchers dont hold anyone on base where they are, its kinda hard to throw anyone out. Our starters dont do AJ any favors whatsoever concerning baserunners.

once hes a fa, its time to part ways

Telling anyone to hop off a bridge, even when kidding around, is just stupid. I'm sure he doesn't give a flying f*** what you think about the rotation. No one in this thread has said to blow the team up, besides your misguided attempt at humor.

Yes. He has a reputation for being a little tight in close games.

I wonder if he knows you're usually one of the more optimistic posters.

It's going to be 9-5 soon.

Im curious, is a hold just not giving up any runs/walks/hits in a close game? Holding the save for the closer? What is the exact criteria for a hold?

 

Homer swing.

Glad to see we can all keep the peace when the sox go down a run.

Ahhh....what the hell.

 

Rally Crede seems to like Saturdays.

 

 

A little help for Cotts?

 

 

JON?
