Not sure if those teams are scary good or scary bad. It's 11-9, Top 8th. 2 out.

This Detroit defense is on full display here in the 8th inning. Yeesh

I can see why the Rangers offense has to be so good...because apparently their pitching is that bad

Their starting pitching is really falling apart, and Oswalt in that park isn't screaming ace either.

Sale vs Oswalt on Tuesday in Soxpark.....should be a good one,but I like the Sox chances.

Roy Oswalt vs AL, regular season, career

 

31 GS, 206 IP, 3.63 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, .281/.326/.440/.765, 2.27 BB/9 7,3 K/9, 0.87 HR/9

 

Roy Oswalt, regular season, career totals

 

341 G (327 GS), 2160.2 IP, 3.21 ERA, 1.195 WHIP, .254/.301/.386/.687, 2.01 BB/9, 7.4 K/9, 0.76 HR/9

 

And, if you wanted to do a little bit of arithmetic, you could quickly deduce how much more of his success has come from pitching in the NL compared to the AL.

 

 

He's going to be, at the very, very best, a #2 for them, and more likely a #3-4 guy who eats inning and gives a pretty consistent performance. Expecting him to keep his ERA below 3.75 at this point is asking too much, and in that park, below 4 will be a minor miracle.

It is summer in Arlington. That is what usually happens.

Adding a #2-#3 starter midseason isn't a good thing?

Aaron Rowand will fill in for Darrin Jackson Saturday & Sunday on @670TheScore and the #WhiteSox radio network.

thats just grindy

Does that automatically account for two wins?

Cue recollections about that series he had in NY way back when...

two wins and one awesome crash into the fence at full speed

Hopefully Rowand does well. Listening to DJ on the radio makes me want to swerve and hit a post.

Never said it wasn't. Just said that he's not going to be an ace, and that his expectations for him should be tempered.

Jesse Crain felt pregame tightness in his shoulder so he went to local Dr. he knows. Was sent back with clean bill of health.

It almost looked like he flipped a switch. He went from swinging and missing (at a lot of bad pitches) to driving the ball the other way on Wednesday.

I think the tweet was from yesterday but just got posted today.

Ahh okay that makes sense. He is available tonight then?

Now they are saying he won't be available until Sunday the earliest, he hopes to avoid DL.
