Cowch Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 The pitcher we're facing tonight has TERRIBLE numbers. If we can't win, I will be very upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 05:56 PM) Maybe you can say something of substance... Boston, LAA, Milwaukee, Tampa, Toronto, Oakland, Cubs, Arizona all have better starting staffs IMO. I'd have to look a little bit more to see if I could find more teams. I'm a guy who takes quality over quantity. So I look at a team like Milwaukee with two #1 starters and I'm pretty sure I'd rather have their rotation. And Bush, Suppan, and Parra have pitched about as well as Contreras and Vazquez. Maybe the the Sox have the best #4 and #5 starters (Vazquez and Count) in the league but come playoff time that doesn't really matter much. I suppose stats don't mean much to you. But ok.

whitesoxfan101 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Floyd better not hang that curveball tonight, or else it's going to be a big problem. That is the key for him, his fastball usually is pretty good, as long as the curveball is there to help he should be ok. Gotta score some runs though, I'd say half a dozen a game if you want to win against that team at that park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Anybody know anything about Mendoza? Looking at his game log, he really struggled in his previous start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Jorge De La Rosa ring a bell to you? The White Sox can hit anybody if they feature a fastball and a bad/no change up. However, we can't hit anybody with a good straight change or an effective off-speed pitch. Edited July 11, 2008 by chw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The De LaRosa game was the most frustrating game of the season for me thus far.... ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) Sweet, 2 men on for Hamilton. A big series, and he can have 100 RBI at the ASB. Edit: Gavin's curveball is just brutal so far. He's thrown 8 of them, 7 for balls, and the other was a hit. Edited July 12, 2008 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Mendoza's worse than his numbers show. He has 11 unearned runs allowed this season. When he's been on the mound, he's given up 30 runs in 22 innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
