poreda losing home plate a bit out of the stretch

Needs another pickoff.

3 walks in a row, yeesh.

Sizemore smacks a hanger.

yeah poreda isnt good enough to not locate his fastball....that looked like a boone logan hanging slider right there

That's why they need to keep him in AAA, his fastball is definitely major league ready, but he just needs to get that slider up to par.

Hence why he needs to go down and work on other pitches and refining his control.

And Wise f*cks it up.

And Wise f*cks it up.

 

The fact that people think that a guy who was a butcher in LF is going to become a passable CF is crazy.

 

 

 

 

 

Travis Hafner came out of nowhere and grew quickly and then became an injury machine now he has shrunken. The doubts of PED's to Hafner are probably as comparable as wheather Sosa did them.

 

Holy crap. This is the first I have seen Hafner and he is Ivan Rodriguez skinny now.

Wow. Hafner living up to his name.... he's half as big as he used to be.

 

 

4th walk of the inning by Aaron.

Hafner = Roider. No doubt in my mind.

while poreda has been walking guys...he hasnt been all over the place...getting squeezed and just missing

Nice play there by Josh.

Hafner's swing is sooooo slow compared to where it once was.

JOE CRE-

 

what?

 

oh...

 

i mean, JOSH f***IN' FIELDS!

Hafner hasn't been the same since Buehrle put one in his grill.

Poreda sometimes is crisp with that slider and other times he kind of just "flips" it up there...Ozzie isn't going to have much patience with 4 walks in one inning, especially when two of them were the bottom hitters in the line-up.

 

Poreda isn't going to have the luxury to work on that slider in pressure situations in the big leagues...needs more seasoning.

 

Looks like Russell and MacDougal are still under consideration for that final spot in the bullpen.

 

And it sucks, but Wise and Owens bringing nothing to the table defensively almost forces the hand of the White Sox to stick BA out there....Wise playing 60-75% of the time in CF just has disaster written all over it. To beat a dead argument into the ground, I would have much preferred Willy Taveras to the mess we're looking at.

 

I'm almost to the point where I'd be open to seeing more of Lillibridge out there, but we haven't seen much of that, at least yet.

Lillibridge makes Wise/Owens and Anderson look like Barry Bonds. Putting him out there is pointless right now. You must might as well have Anderson out there catching everything, over the rest of the no hit crew.

 

 

 

wise takes a terrible angle to a liner and makes the catch

hmmm hawk isn't right with that stat about dimaggio....dimaggio actually struck out 8 more times than he had HR...either way thats crazy

Just saw this note from Mark Gonzalez on the Trib site...

 

Colon to pitch Wednesday vs. Oakland for White Sox

 

PHOENIX -- The White Sox switched plans and will now start Bartolo Colon on Wednesday against Oakland instead of in a minor league game.

 

"Now it's time to go to the next step with him and get the adrenaline going," pitching coach Don Cooper said.

 

Jose Contreras will follow Colon.

Nice catch.

 

And how horrible is it to see an outfield of Owens, Wise, and Anderson? I don't think a ball has left the infield yet. How terrible would it be if Quentin and Dye get hurt at the same time.

 

Oh boy...

Good piece of hitting by Lillibridge to drive in Betemit.
