Some team won on a walk off balk a couple of nights ago.

DJ Carrasco was the balker.

What's everyone's feeling on Beckham? I don't see a Major League caliber hitter.

BUST.

Fox announcer said " White Sox cannot get the big hit today." That is the theme of the year.

I would bench him if I felt we had a replacement, but we really don't. I guess Teahen can play there, Omar looks old as nails. Kuhn is not ready.

 

You're right, he isn't close to hitting well, but at least he plays D well. It's kinda a tallest midget-type thing.

Just another guy who plays 2nd base to me nothing special.

I'm surprised he hasn't snapped out of it, but he will. I still believe he will be the best player on the White Sox eventually.

Remember when his outs where line drives? Man, he was so good then. Now...

He has just got to go to AAA.

HE GAWN!

5 K's for JFP

He has just got to go to AAA.

Maybe, but he reminds me of Brian Anderson. A lot of bad ABs where he either easily falls behind 0-2 or makes crappy contact early in the AB for an out.

Collmenter has a better ERA than Verlander

 

the philosophy of the White Sox is the issue not the execution..see Lillibridge, Brent, inning ten, last night

That's because pitchers aren't afraid of him hitting a solid fastball, so they go right after him.

 

The problem really is/was mechanical for both of them. And both of them had stretches where they got their mechanics right but then lost them.

I am forced to follow the game by mlb gameday, but it looks like the Jakemeister is really bringing it today!

.209 BABIP against him.

I think it goes to show you how even a small thing can throw the hiter out of whack.

And that the "the pitcher isn't scared" feedback is really important.

 

If a pitcher starts nibbling, then the pitcher falls behind and the hitter can be aggressive. If the pitcher goes right after the hitter, the hitter has to be ready to swing defensively.

I hate that stat. I know it means something but good hitters will have a high BABIP and bad hitters will have a low one and vice versa on the pitching side.

Yeah, there's a range, but when numbers are way outside of that range, it's seems to consistently work.

Peavy has indeed been great - lots of movement on the ball, and he's mixing up his pitches very well.

 

Problem today is offense...

112 pitches today for Gorzelanny.

 

We've gotten what, 1 run in 14 innings off Nationals Starting Pitching?

a LHP that does not hit 90 simply baffles this team beyond belief

Just checked in on this game...Dunn 0-3, 3Ks, we need to start a campaign to get this guy sent down...I mean bring Karkovice out of retirement or Dan Pasqua would be better alternatives...

14-107 a .131 batting average with 51 strikeouts at home for Dunn. Even his biggest detractors would have a hard time believing those numbers.

 

The second strike of his last at bat, on a fast ball down and in ..... I don't ever remember seeing a major league hitter take a full cut at a pitch and miss it by so much.
