Balta1701 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 07:28 PM) Right and if Rios can hit mistakes hell be hitting over 250. He just hasnt been hitting anything. The phrase by Hawk was "He's been trying to pull everything" and Pavano gave him a pitch that was pullable. That same pitch was a popup if Pavano could throw 92.

Soxbadger Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 He got a favorable count and hit the ball hard. What else is he supposed to do?He could have easily popped up as hes done on the same slow pitch what seems like hundreds of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I don't care how much Quentin has struggled against Pavano. After yesterday's game, he has got to be in the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Got a "slow" slider or slurve at 74 MPH there. Settling in at 92-93 MPH with the fastball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) Not bad so far. Definitely no Jeff Marquez, at least. Looks like worst-case scenario he'll be a decent 5th starter under team control cheaply for 6 years. That's not a bad payoff for Edwin Jackson at all. Pierre and Gordon have almost the same exact OPS. I don't think that's a good thing. At least they're both way above Dunn, Morel and Rios. White Sox 0 for their last 12 with RISP. 1st and 2nd now, 2 ours. C'mon Konerko. 2 hits for Ramirez in his familiar two hole in the line-up. Make that 0 for 13 with RISP in this series so far.

Balta1701 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 At least the Sox bats are back to their usual struggles against Pavano. When Hawk told me he had an ERA of over 9 since the AS break coming in I was worried we might actually hit him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) Konerko with "only" an 800 ops in July. That's his worst month of the season. Pretty amazing how consistent he's been all year long. Stewart working pretty quickly. Only 31 pitches coming into the Mauer at-bat. 3 scoreless innings, five pitches total. Couldn't ask for anything more out of him so far. Keep it up, longhair. Edited August 6, 2011 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 3 pitches, 2 outs to start the 2nd. Good number of groundballs so far. Loved how awkward Span looked on that swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 QUOTE (South Paw @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 07:53 PM) how does stewart look so far? Solid. Good sinking, working well/quickly, only one or two hitters have gotten him squarely, pitches aren't straight. Nothing that you've looked at and said "That pitch was mind blowing" but effective.

southsideirish71 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 QUOTE (South Paw @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 06:53 PM) how does stewart look so far? He looks good so far. Ball is definitely moving. The offense however will fail him as we are making Pavano look like Cy Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Since the AS break, Pavano's ERA before this game was 9.41. Batters had hit .359/.950 off of him. I guess he was due for a good start and you just gotta tip your cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Adam Dunn has only gone 2 consecutive starts without a strikeout twice this season. He didn't fan at all yesterday so he's due for at least a hat trick tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one on the planet can hit one of these pitches. In early days pitchers were put to death for witchcraft for throwing these magical pitches.
