The summer of 2009 is going to be the worst thing that ever happened to the white sox.

Really? 1919? 88 years without a world series? The game where they wore shorts? Disco Demolition night? 2007? David Wells? GM Harrelson?

I think Peavy let that last call to Overbay affect him there.

 

Stop making excuses for him like people made for Javy. These guys are getting paid a ton of money, and simply aren't performing so far.

Yeah, he should be throwing a shutout every game.

David Wells was at least a one year disaster. If he's referring to the contracts of Rios and Peavy, those are going to hurt the Sox a lot more than Wells.

ok so im kind of confused by peavys velocity. -i thought he always threw hard, like 95. since hes been with the sox ive only seen him at about 90-92. so has he always been at about 92 with his fastball or whats going on?

 

That's how fast he's been throwing for a while now.

 

He's averaging 91-92 on his fastball. It was the case last year and in 08.

thank you. walking overbay was stupid.

Peavy will be fine, he's just not used to pitching in the cold.

I dont understand the booing of Rios, its lot like he left for more money or something, he got traded.

How is this even remotely the same thing?

 

I thought Peavy looked pissed at that last call to Overbay, maybe he was still pissed and had a mental lapse. Who knows?

 

That's not an excuse, that's simply a thought about why that pitch was so poorly located.

LOL.

No joke. OMG IT HAS BEEN ONE START PLUS TWO INNINGS HE SUX!!!

Peavy will be fine, he's just not used to pitching in the cold.

Or he will be fine because he's one of the best pitchers in major league baseball. But, lets ignore actual reality for a second.....

Well, worse than David Wells and 2007 for sure. We've got 22+ million dollars locked up for several years that could be used for other, really good players.

Canadians.

hmm..maybe because the injuries. well i hope peavy is ok, there was a lot of talk about his stuff in spring training

Everytime Sox get the lead the next half inning they cannot wait to give it up so far in 2010!

lol @ all the peavy nonsense, I think some of us here may have thought he would post a sub 3.00 ERA, he's not that kind of pitcher in AL. I expect 3.85 ERA ish.

Alrighty Juan.

put the H&R on ozzie, Tallet has nothing right now

so thus far out of peavy...hes been throwing low 90s, not mid 90s, and he's not getting the movement on it like we saw last year....not good

His movement looked pretty damn good against Cleveland.

Pierre with a base hit, wow.

They're booing him because of this

I'm really not sold on that. The scouts were just bashing his stuff this Spring (not just what we heard in the press). It wasn't his fastball they were worried about, but rather his slider was being thrown at a different plane. I really do hope it works out for him in Chicago though, so by no means am I giving up on him yet.

He's making too much money to be a 3.85 ERA guy.

Go JP!
