June 28, 200817 yr Matt Thornton was just awesome. The bullpen was great, but he was really great. Edited June 28, 200817 yr by GoSox05
June 28, 200817 yr Now that's the kind of game you'd like to win. Carlos Quentin flexes his muscles. Get this man to the all-star game already. Same with Dye. Only bad part of today's game...Javier Vazquez and his inability to control his pitches.

June 28, 200817 yr I'm still all tingly....think I'll crack a celebratory brewski (another one anyway). GREAT FRIGGIN GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 28, 200817 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 06:00 PM) Payback is a real b****. Save that for tomorrow night. Lou is pissed, but giving kudos to White Sox team during press conference.
June 28, 200817 yr Great performance and way for the O and the 'pen to pick up Javy. A sweep would be a nice response, but even 2/3 is a nice response to last weekend's embarrassment.

June 28, 200817 yr Javy was makin me angry because he was pitching scared all game. Then Ozzie comes out to talk to him and he serves a meatball to Dlee. Alexei had a friggen awesome game today.
June 28, 200817 yr Javy seemed to straighten out until that bad hop single by DLee past OC...that seemed to scramble his brains a tad...
June 29, 200817 yr Thorny threw nothing but 96 mph smoke and the Cubs hitters had NO chance. Beeeeeeautiful. Whats the Sox bullpen ERA right now?

I really think he is tipping his pitches. If you notice, most of the damage done against him is from the stretch, just like the one writer/scout for Pittsburgh noticed. Once DLee got that lucky single, he started getting hit again from the stretch. He needs to find what exactly he is doing to tip his pitches, and then to make sure opposing players will stop looking for any "tips", he should make off as if he is going to throw a breaking ball but then fire a fastball underneath their chin.

I don't think it's that he's tipping his pitches, it's just that he isn't as good out of the stretch. It's pretty common. Floyd has had that problem too. He can't get the same release point and the same push off the rubber like he has out of the wind-up.
