These aren't numbers, it's based on having seen the majority of his big league starts with my own eyes. He's an amazing young talent and there's a reason why the Braves had him as an untouchable when the Tex deal was being negotiated.

And he's also capable of being shellacked by a team with some good f***ing mojo going right now...

Damn, nice play by Heyward.

Damn, that's vintage Beckham, but hangs up for Heyward.

Well, it's good to see Gordon hit the ball hard to the right side.

Damn, nice try by Beckham and Quentin that inning. He has NOTHING on the mound.

Hey CW, what's Omar's OPS when batting second now?

Is it bad that I sometimes forget that Andruw Jones is on this time? I'm not complaining about his playing time, he sucks, but wow he's done a disappearing act.

Nyger Morgan ran one of his shots down the other day just a little less shallow than the one Dayan hit.

Mark Kotsay is the worst base runner in Sox history.

 

Podsednik made outs on the basepaths something like 12% of the time he reached base last year.

I think we all remember Hawk's "Chip Caray" moment

Mets up 4-0, after a rain delay in the bottom third, Verlander out of the game, pitcher Sborz on the mound.

You're awesome

Keep chunkin it Johnny

Especially when he's thrown 17 breaking balls in 58 pitches, completely out of the ordinary for him.

I heard the other day that scouts thought he had the best slider in baseball

Mets are hot in interleague play as are the Sox and the Braves.

The White Sox have raised Tommy Hanson's ERA by a full half run tonight. It's like the difference between pitching in the NL and the AL!

 

He is also at 59 pitches after 3.

Danks got it going now.

Now this is White Sox baseball!

 

I feel like it's 2006 again!

Colby Rasmus has such a pretty swing.

Yes sir, I'm cheering for Mets as they play Tigers and Twins next.

 

 

Man, Atlanta has some guys that take some ferocious swings on the ball.

 

Hopefully this lead lets Danks settle in and get comfortable.

Danks is at 53 after 4

Fun fact: Danks has a 2.6 ERA if you erase his one bad start where he gave up 8 runs

 

Braves are on a 34-14 stretch of play

 

White Sox are known around the league as an "middle of the plate in, mistake hitting" team...fwiw, that's why hitters like Pierre, AJ, Vizquel, Beckham and Viciedo are needed, because their natural strokes are to the opposite field or RCF. Even Quentin, when he's going good, can rip it to RCF. Rios is a spray hitter.

 

Maybe all that will start to influence Alexei a bit, seems like he's getting locked in more and more.

 

Nice bonehead running Kotsay, didn't look for Cox, ended up getting thrown out by 15 feet.

It's right up there, he typically throws it about 30% of the time. It's definitely his go to pitch.
