i like the way this sets up.......

7th. Dougy

8th Thorns

9th Jenks

Nasty pitch by MacDougal there to Shealy to get him. Impressive.

MacDougal's slider reminds me of Politte's fastball....except MacDougal's pitch moves.

 

Its started off like Buerhle was going to get hammered again tonight, but he really picked it up. Another start like tonight and he may be back to normal.

 

His next start is against the Yankees.

A lot.

I'd say that this was just against the Royals, but his bad pitches got hit, he just made a lot more good pitches and had good sequences than he's had recently.

A lot.

 

Oh ya...I was just laughing that his slider is the same speed as Politte's fastball.

come on mike

Yeah, it was very nice start. It's hard to get excited though given who we're playing.

You can't walk him in that situation there. He's definitely going to be stealing here.

MacDougal still has the photoshopped Sox cap in gameday.

german to 2nd

Why not try a pitch out there? They had to know he was going first pitch. Oh well...get the batter.

Memo to White Sox pitching, Esteban German is not Babe Ruth. There's no reason for him to get walked once, much less twice, in a game.

Mac might want to throw a strike.

whoooooo

phew

Man does Eminem have some great stuff.....please stay freaking healthy somehow. Scoreless inning there for him, 3-2 lead heading to the 8th.

Ok...good job! MacDougal seems to induce a ton of grounders.

But, the Royals have had the second best offense (behind us) since like the middle of June.

MacDougal is like a shiny new toy. Fun to watch pitch, for the time being anyway.

I love the MacDougal pickup.

 

We now have 3 guys at the end of a game that can all close, all have 98+ capabilities. Are all strikeout guys, and have completely different looks. No pen can really say that.

But, the Royals have had the second best offense (behind us) since like the middle of June.

 

Another reason why I am happy about what I see. I hope he can have more like this one.

Considering we were playing the leagues leading offense since late June.....i'll be pretty happy with it.
