awesome win after an ugly start

 

i was there in rf seeing beckhams hr come right at me, that was sweet to see.

 

awesome bullpen all around

 

alexie is amazing right now, hopefully this is what we'll see for the next 3 years and this isnt just an extended hot streak

Who was that dressed in the #45 uniform tonight? Heath Bell?

This game was better for the Sox than the 11-0 win. Awesome comeback by the offense, and a spectacular job by the bullpen. Bobby pitched like it was 2005. Was he really throwing his fastball at 99 again?

Alexei... man he's been beasting.

 

Yeah he's pretty much been the best all around SS in the AL lately

 

If he still has the 97-100 mph fastball in him Oz and Ken need to go to him and say "throw the f***ing ball as hard as you possibly can and still throw strikes"

This was vintage 2005 Bobby Jenks tonight.

It seems on Sox message boards this is how Bobby is viewed=> Bobby gives up a run= Bobby you fat f***!

Bobby strikes out the side in 1-2-3 fashion=WOOOO! BIG BAD BOBBY JENKS!!! STOP-HAMMER TIME! U CAN'T TOUCH THIS

 

Not really. It's more or less been calling a spade a spade. People criticize when he looks like s*** and explain why, and when he looks good they say so. Despite some people's best efforts to make it so, it isn't personal.

10 in a row and 17 out of 18 at home.

Too bad Thornton helped screw up the World Series for us with his poor ASG outing.

Soxnet.net game wrapup.

Jenks pitching like 2005 version. Heavy fastball and an overpowering hook. Nice to see he still has it when he wants to.

 

If he sticks with that, he won't have a problem. We just don't know that he will.

This Bobby Jenks stays around the rest of the season, and we win the division and probably make a playoff push. Every team we'll be playing will have 6 innings to beat us.

Exactly, but we can't be sure that he'll stay with it. Who knows why, but my guess is that he's afraid of getting hurt by dialing the fastball up there and/or throwing that hook. It's basically a catch-22 for him. He needs to do those things to be successful and sign a big contract in the offseason, but doing it may cause him an injury which makes a big contract a pipe dream.

all Thornton did was give us a chance to win it at home

Complete 180 for me watching this team this season. In may in the same 5-1 situation i probably would have turned the game off knowing we werent even going to give it the ole college try. Today, I knew we would comeback and at least tie the game at some point.

 

Go Sox!

I hear ya. WHen Seattle went up 5-1, I was like, well I guess we'll just score 6 runs.

We always hear about how much Coop preaches movement over velocity. But maybe in the case of Jenks, we need to just say quit with the movement crap and throw your fastball and hook with as much violence as you can and try to blow people away. It certainly looked like that is what happened last night, and at any rate, hopefully Bobby keeps throwing like that. Because althought it was just the Mariners last night, I can't even remember the last time his stuff looked that overwhelming, and nobody would have hit him. If Jenks can pitch well, our bullpen is just epic stuff, so lets hope he found something last night.

One thing you're missing though...Bobby's fastball was moving like crazy last night, and he had control of it as well.

Oh I agree, and that's the point. Giving up velocity doesn't guarantee additional movement. It works that way for a large number of guys certainly, but not all of them.

Watch out Alex Rios, Alexei Ramirez is coming for your title of best position player WAR on the team.

Sept 2 2006 was the last time Jenks pitched a perfect save inning with 3 'K.

 

Sergio Santos recorded his sixth consecutive scoreless appearance, Matt Thornton made his 17th consecutive scoreless appearance and J.J. Putz extended his White Sox record to 27 scoreless appearances.

That is sick
