Red Sox @ White Sox - July 8

Featured Replies

Freddy really needs his fastball back.

He's just not hitting his spots well enough to be a junkballer.

 

Aaaaaaaand, the stolen base parade continues against the longest stretch in the majors. Ugh ugh ugh.

What a shame that Freddy steps his game up today and the defense doesn't back him up.

 

Thanks, Mac.

I can't wait for one of our underachievers to be traded in the off season.

Garcia really gives himself no chance to win this year. He has no velocity and he allows every runner to reach base to easily steal on him.

This s*** would have happened regardless of Mackowiak. No way that 89 mph Garcia was going to keep hitting every corner imaginable with his pitches. If this is Garcia stepping up, then he sucks worse than I thought.

We shouldn't be waiting that long, unless we're not planning to win a championship this season.

3-1 now after the grounder.

It isn't happening....too many personalities involved to admit this isn't the world's greatest rotation. We're living or dying this year with the 5 starters we have.

theres no way we win a championship with this team-no way

I got rid of my sig for fear that it was jinxing the starters... come on, let's score some runs please.

Don't worry, Paulie and Dye are going back 2 back next inning :D

And there is no such thing as a single since everybody gets a free pass to second.

Great point

Man, our starters are NOT getting better. The only one doing so is Garland. Vazquez, Garcia, and Buehrle continue to get worse and worse.

 

Our rotation is so very overrated.

Then as I've said yesterday, Kenny is a horrible GM if he doesn't prioritize winning above all else. This staff isn't good enough to win a playoff series, and everybody can see that. We need another power arm in this rotation.

I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard that exact same statement made last year.

Here's what bugs me:

Is Coop and the rest of the coaching staff unable to adjust Freddy's delivery to hold runners on a little better, or is Freddy unable to make the adjustment himself?

He doesn't seem to ever change his approach with a runner on first - almost zero throws to first to hold the runner, and then it's one look over and the lonnnnnnnng leg-lift.

It's laughable to watch anyone and everyone run at will on him.

Its incredible to me how the ball always seems to find our poorer defenders.

Who said or thinks he doesn't?

 

PK with a leadoff single.

im so sick of everyone talking about how GREAT our starters are, how we have the best staff in baseball and how anyone would want that sox staff and wouldnt trade it for any other. everyone is judging our staff based on the numbers they put up last year. apparently they havent taken a look at there era's this year.

well, atleast ppl know freddy wants to win.
