whitesoxfan101 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Bullpen squirts itself for the 3rd day in a row, but the Thome affect makes it not matter. Masset beating Zambrano is always clever to look back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Good to see the offense wake up a bit and salvage a win. Hopefully Thome's arrival can get our offense going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Also, that last play was awesome to watch, but how did Soriano not beat that easily with his speed? That took a long time to develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 (edited) We have now beaten Carlos Zambrano twice (4-2 against us career). Once it was Felix Diaz for his first MLB win, now it's Nick Masset for his 2nd. I guess next time we face Zambrano, we should start a young guy with 2 career wins. Either way, I love that stat.

YASNY Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 We gave them game 1, but we shoulda took 2 outta 3. Well, considering we gave them game 1 we shoulda swept the damn series. I'm glad we salvaged this one, because Masset v. Zambrano did not bode well for us. Great job by Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Masset's start should change some minds concerning his immediate future. Not necessarily in 2007, but over the next several seasons. His fastball this afternoon was consistently 92-94 mph with movement coupled with a tight breaking ball. Considering how this was his first start major league start, sustaining good velocity through 5+ innings is rather impressive. Out of the bullpen -- where one would assume Masset might 'air out' and throw harder -- he's shown no difference in velocity from this afternoon. He's more valuable to this organization as a starter if today is any indication. The remainder of this season will determine his future. I'm sure he'll find several more spot-starts before 2007 concludes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he'll find several more spot-starts before 2007 concludes. This is what I was saying about Massett last night. He might not be a tick below Jenks in the upper 90s category, but he has a good fastball, a nice two seamer, and a good curve. If he can throw more strikes and get aggressive we may have something there. Danks and Massett for Bmac. That is a nice trade so far.

That took a long time to develop. Soriano's hamstring has been bothering him a lot lately. When he was coming around 3rd base earlier today he didnt look near to full speed. I think he is gonna see the 15 day DL in the next month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Just for the record, I called he'd have a good game considering him instead of Broadway, Haegar, Floyd and whoever else said someone from AAA should come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigHurt Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Masset has impressed me since day one, and this helped. He's one of very few guys in the pen that don't make me curse when I see him at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Glad to get one win. Shoulda gotten at least two this series. I'm worried about our bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Nick Massett was great to watch today. He was pitching to all parts of the plate, and wasn't afraid to get the big out. The kid has a future here as a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Of Masset's first 12 outs, only three were in the air, with three via the k and 6 on the ground. As he tired a bit, he gave up 3 flyouts out of his last 5 outs as the ball stayed up a bit more, but early on when he was fresh, he was a ground ball machine. And also, after the 1st, he didn't have a single walk until the not so stupid move to walk Aramis in the 6th to get to Daryle Ward in the 6th (not his fault our manager took him out, begging the Cubs to PH Lee for Ward in a huge spot AGAIN).
