Oh boy....looks like a possible DL stint for Uribe if he pulled a hammy/quad.

 

Getz

It only figures that Garland is doing well against OC finally.

I'm rooting more than anyone for OCab to get it going with the bat, but he has such a long, loopy swing.

 

I think a bigger problem is that the ball doesn't jump off of his bat, so even when he hits it well, it's just a 300 foot fly/line out.

Alexei in.

Ramirez in for Juan.

Alexei takes over at 2nd for Juan. Hopefully it's precautionary.

Uribe has been pretty good since changing his stance. He's walking more this season and has been hitting pretty well the past 2 weeks or so. Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's just his performance compared to the rest of the offense sans JD and CQ.

 

I think part of the difference with standing up straighter like he is...you just plain see the ball better. When your all crouched over you tend to look too much out of the side of your eye instead of "facing" the pitcher more. That's one thing I always try to teach the young kids is face the release point. Just my 2¢...

Thanks blue!

He called that pitch on Cabrera, so you have to give it to Javy there too.

Yep, and on a 3-2 pitch leading off the inning, it's nice to see that consistency.

Might be time to get someone up in the pen....Javy doesn't have anything on his offspeed pitches (curse of the 6th inning?).

i missed it...what happened to juan

PLAY SHALLOW OUTFIELD!

Some type of leg injury. He looked a little banged up after sliding in the 2nd inning, and then pulled up running to first base in the 6th inning. Either a hamstring or quad.

He was busting his butt running to 1st on a grounder and came up a bit gimpy.

HE GAWN!

That a boy Javy!

K, give it to the pen.

I bet Ramirez is leading off all weekend.

 

If anyone thinks that Konerko or Thome are bringing more value to this team than Anderson could is not paying attention. His defense alone is valuable and the fact that he plays once every ten days is as good an excuse as any as to why his average is what it is.

 

DL Konerko if he can not swing, jesus

Scoscia just sacrificed to put a runner in scoring position with an .091 hitter coming up, and didn't pinch hit. Thank you, Mike.

I think he was bunting for a hit.

He was bunting for a hit...Aybar does that rather often.

Quentin grounds to 3rd. He's 4-22 against lefties this season, interesting.

 

JD singles to left.

I'm guessing K or DP for Thme.

A walk for Thome. Gotta start somewhere?
