ENOUGH WITH THE GODDAMN DOUBLE PLAYS ALREADY

Sigh.

 

What's that, 7 GIDP in 2 games?

Pathetic

Beckham is not a very good baseball player

The approach at the plate is just atrocious.

Wow. Just wow.

I've officially given up on GB ever becoming a star. I'll take league average 2B at this point. And that might be a stretch. Even when we get a top 10 pick we botch that.

To quote a Chuck Garfien tweet from last night: If GIDP were an art, the Sox would be Michelangelo.

Oh GMAB there was nothing wrong with that pick.

That was one of the worst at bats I have ever seen a professional baseball player have.

Thank you for the rain out Tuesday or it would definitely be a 3 game sweep.

I am no batting expert but I was watching some games where a hitch in his swing is mentioned and then shown. I know it's hard to change your approach over nigbht, but if it is shown by broadcasters on TV do you think GB also sees it later?

Recipe to beat the White Sox.

 

1) Don't respect them at all

2) Run at will on everyone but Buehrle

3) Simply throw a sinker over the plate and induce a double play to clear the bases

4) Pick off Pierre if he's ever on base, run for the extra base if you hit the ball in his direction

5) Erase from your memory that Dunn, Rios and Beckham were once all-star caliber players when facing them

6) No matter how many errors you make, they won't capitalize, so just relax if you're playing defense

7) Very few Sox runners can score from 2nd on a base hit or 3rd from a sac fly...so make their hitters put 3 hits together in an inning

The shame of it is that Buehrle really is pitching a hell of a game.

The Sox have fumbled every first round pick since 2000 (the jury is still out on Sale).

Well, the new "spin" on Beckham is that Farmer and DJ keep claiming he's he best defensive 2B in the American League, so an OPS 200+ points lower than we expected out of him is now acceptable.

 

 

When I said bench Rios I said that with the idea of Viciedo in LF

200? Fangraphs is your friend. These are absolutely 10 of the worst 30 players in baseball.

How much do those advertisements/banners flown by airplanes cost?

 

If I get this job I interviewed for I am going to buy one that says FIRE OZZIE GUILLEN and have it fly over US Cellular Field.
