20 consecutive retired, 88 pitches through 8 for JFP.

Give Jake the ninth?

Peavy will be back on the mound for sure.

I think you go with Thornton...helps stop the run game if Morgan/Guzman reach. 4th time against the lineup, maybe Nats have an idea of his pitch sequence?

Ozzie will give it to Jake, you'd think.

Not a chance you take Jake out after 88 pitches. Not a chance in Hell. He's in until the bases are loaded or we lose the game.

Gonna be Peavy, but I would have Thornton ready to face Dunn.

I'll never understand why Alexei fakes the bunt so often? On the 2-0 pitch, he should be swinging out of his ass.

Wow Gordon...terrible. I hate his current stance with his arms so far away from him.

Peavy stays.

Peavy's average sucks.

So glad we f***ed up another prospect. This kid hit everywhere he went. Comes to our f***ups and get f***ed up. Enough with this, its only mental bulls***, If the current group cant work with the kids then find someone that they can bring in to consult.

gotta love Kotsay joining in on ribbing Peavy's swing. . . dude you suck.

Rios to CF, Jones to RF?

Completely agree...he sucks, and what's very discouraging is that the few times he does put good swings on the ball, he has no power at all. If we could do it all over again, I'd take Smoak over him I truly believe.

The Guillen family holds Jones defense in a higher regard than Rios. The Guillens really must live in a time machine, because they have visions of players in their prime versus what they are today.

 

 

How exactly did the White Sox f*** up Beckham?

 

In this pic Jake looks like one of the possessed people from the last season of Trueblood.

Rios to CF, Jones to RF?

Bah, if we're insisting on going with the "2 guys with an OPS of .700" lineup to rest Rios, we may as well finish resting him.

Smoak would be just as f***ed up. We suck with development of the kids. We have no concept on how to teach fundamentals and to assist players through mechanical issues. The only one that seems to have a basic grasp of that is Coop.

 

How exactly did the White Sox f*** up Beckham?

 

He's the first player in MLB history to struggle in his 2nd year in the majors.

Wow, PULL HIM! Not even close, and you could see it happening last inning against Willie.

I hope Guzman is bunting here

Putz is warming up....where the hell is Thornton to face Dunn?

How exactly did the White Sox f*** up Beckham?

You can come up with lots of possible things they could have done wrong, but I'm not sure what they should have done different. Walker doing too much to alter his swing, Walker doing too little to correct the flaws in his swing as they were creeping in earlier this year, the Sox moving him to 3b last year then moving him to 2b this year, the Sox bringing him up last year before he'd been in AAA for more than 2 weeks, etc.

 

Still, I can't point to anything I'd have done differently except sending him down now.
