just lame as hell.

Seriously, he just kills rallies that way. Pisses me off. He's had such a good offensive season otherwise, with some big time clutch hits, but the pickoffs... dammit.

thats the fustrating part. awesome offensivley this year, but the pick offs and defense is atrocious. i wanted pods back for next but forget it.

I'd like to see some sweet Rios D. Catching balls between his legs and hat catches and s***.

nasty pitch. He gawn.

nasty pitch. He gawn.

double for AJ with 2 outs. Hope we can pick em up with Alesay.

alexei walks.

Truly anemic swing by Nix.

i love candy wweeeh we weh

Funny enough Pods was on the radio a few days ago talking about how he has to balance being aggressive with being reckless. Yet once again he kills a rally by pulling a boner. Getting picked off at 2nd when you are looking at the 2nd baseman creeping is beyond stupid. We need to keep from wasting opportunities.

 

Also Dye needs to be removed from the 3 hole. Ozzie waited to pull Everett from the 3 hole in 05. Time to move Quentin in there and move Dye down.

wellp, after beckham I'm headed out. Night fellas.

awesome. f*** me.

Attention White Sox, Jeremy Guthrie is a crappy pitcher who throws a lot of fastballs. You should pound him all over the place. Please act like you want to win.

We can't get Getz back fast enough IMO.

He has been respectable offensively, and certainly better than I expected but he has been far from awesome. He is a below average for a leadoff man, and a below league average hitter overall. He is certainly better than Wise and Anderson though. Unfortunately he is quite possibly the worst base runner in baseball.

Seems to? Are you actually using statistics or basing it off 5 ABs you've seen?

i thought i had some bad base runners on my slow pitch softball team but pods makes em look good

This is just about the dullest game ever. Beckham really struggling with RISP, as he's 1 for his last 12.

WOW the gamethread is pretty quiet tonight.

 

So we had runners on the corners and Beckham GIDP'ed.

Sometimes you just gotta tip your cap to a pitcher like Guthrie.

At least Floyd is on a roll, but this seems like one of those games we lose 2-1 after Gavin gives up another homer...

 

Beckham really struggling now (well, he's human) and Pods and Ramirez are fighting an ongoing battle for worst mental preparation or careless mistakes on a day-to-day basis.

 

Have a feeling the Orioles will come back to score at least one here after the GIDP.

How many times this season has Hawk said: "Man on first and third, can't do anything with it."

About 4 times per week.
