Worst call of the week!!

 

INSTANT REPLAY WOULD HAVE SAVED US!!!!

I'd rather have him take the walk. Even in a good year, the odds of him hitting a HR on 1 swing are only a couple percent.

 

But what's the chances of 3 consecutive two-out singles?

OK, have we seen enough now to start an offical "Blow it all up and Firesale" thread??

That's Gary Bettman for ya.

 

NBA didn't need to have 2 nights off in between games 1 and 2

But what's the chances of 3 consecutive two-out singles?

Or a 2-out double, or a 2 out HR, or an error on a throw, lots of things that can happen.

He still may take the walk. When guys hit 3-0, they are sitting on a pitch in a certain location. Its not like a green light means automatic swing. What are the odds of the Sox getting 4 guys on consecutively?

But with Konerko at 1st, would he even score on a double?

If Pena's wrist winds up bruised, then maybe we'll finally have a reason to call up Torres and have a long man in the pen.

But with Konerko at 1st, would he even score on a double?

Depends on who's throwing and where the double is hit. He'd be off with the pitch. Worst case scenario then you have 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs.

 

Either way, unless it's a 1 run game, swinging on 3-0 and trying to hit a HR isn't a good formula for most guys. I could see it working for Jones, who swings for the fences anyway.

Choo would look good in a White Sox uniform.

Tony Pena has really been a godsend this season.

If you went to my original post, it was about Hawk being upset Ozzie doesn't give a 3-0 green light.

No, I saw it...but you guys kept going with the exact script...I was just letting you know I saw the movie too...

Exactly. It's not like he HAS to swing. It's just that he should be READY to crush a get-me-over pitch right down the heart of the plate.. I trust Konerko enough to know when to swing and when to take.

Or a Korean army outfit.

10-12 more years...

10-12 more years...

 

haha, we should play a game of who will be on the Sox bench over the next few years. I'd say Eckstein is a definite, and no way we don't acquire T. Hunter in a few seasons. Who else am I missing? Miguel Cabrera in 15 years maybe?

Alexei now pushing .260 after his horrible start.

Heck Cabrera might not even be alive in 10 to 15 years with the way he takes care of himself.

He's just trying to stay out of a military uniform...but I dunno which is worse...

10-12 more years...

Its a lock isn't it? Belle, Thome, Colon, both Alomars, Vizquel, all there good players eventually become White Sox. Grady Sizemore will be in CF at USCF after knee replacement surgery.

I get way too excited for a single by Beckham, but I'll take it!

And as our offense starts turning it around, our pitching staff falls harder. Story of the Sox. The only time we've ever had both phases of the game clicking at the same time was '05.. and that was just magical.

Gordo with the nice look up the middle...

I hope he can figure out whatever makes him start slow, because Alexei is pretty much worthless to us if he has a .650 OPS into June every year.

Pierre needed to get that one further towards the line... Oh well.
