Bighurt52235 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Our pitchers have allowed a grand total of FOUR homeruns this year. The next lowest total in the AL is 9, while in the NL the Braves have allowed just 7. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 keeping the ball down is a very good thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Yeah, that has been a very bright point from our pitching thus far....although we are giving up WAY to many walks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in the middle of the pack right now on walks given up. 8/14 in the AL, 16/30 in MLB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoMB345 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 So, I was watching some ESPN baseball highlights tonight and I was trying to remember how many homeruns the White Sox pitches have given up, and I really couldn't think of a single one. So I hopped online to check, and it turns out the White Sox have only given up 4 homeruns so far this year, 3 less than Braves who are in 2nd, and 19 less than the Reds who are last in the league. Most teams are between 11 and 14, with the average being 12.7. What do you guys attribute this too, considering we've played half our games at home which is a good hitters park? Bad weather? Good pitching? Mix of both? But I was shocked when I found that out. As a side note, Vazquez is 2nd in the league in K's, keep it up!

RockRaines Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Danks not giving up frequent homers helps. He's been keeping the ball down nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanOfCorn Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Buehrle usually keeps the ball down, even though he leads the team with 2 (!) HRs against. Danks has learned from Buehrle to keep the ball down. Floyd's head is slowly emerging from his arse. Vazquez is blowing people away. Contreras has just been lucky. Wait til the weather warms up though and we'll see if they can keep that statistic up. Hopefully the phrase Coop'll fix 'em has worked again!

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Herb Schneider probably let them know that getting whiplash from turning around so suddenly to see how far it goes wasn't doing them any favors in terms of career longetivity.
