Kyyle23 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 18, 2012 -> 09:21 AM) That's too bad. Usually pitchers who throw perfect games aren't the same after each start for a while. You know, in this case I am willing to accept that the Sox will not face King Felix.

greg775 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Somebody was saying Youk was hitting under .200 in the last 30 games?? Wonder where he'll be playing next year. Who's gonna pay the freight? It won't be the White Sox. We'll be back to Morel and pray for no back injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing he didn't do THAT. I maybe alone but jumping into a fountain, out of play, to retrieve a #400 HR ball does not equal running on the field.

Just the randomness of baseball? Some teams just seem to have your number or match up better? Just like some batters crush certain pitchers and can't hit others. I don't think it has anything to do with effort, I don't think the Sox are lacking for motivation this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Sox face Jason Vargas on Friday. He's riding a streak of 10 quality starts, with a 1.95 ERA. And Peavy gets to face him. Yay! Hopefully Felix doesn't get moved up to Sunday and we'll miss altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand the paltry record against Detroit, they are a good team. But letting the AL's third-worst team beat us silly like they do is unacceptable.

flavum Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I think it's also fair to say there are no truly awful American League teams this year. Even the Twins have had stretches of playing pretty good. The Mariners are gaining on .500. The Indians had a good first half. The Red Sox and Blue Jays are under .500, but have had injury problems. It's tough to beat anyone in the AL on any given day, so it's just a matter of playing good baseball day in and day out, and letting the talent win out in the end.

Balta1701 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Left is all right: Before losing Saturday to Bruce Chen, the Sox were 10-4 in games against left-handed starters since July 1. Some of their improvement has been credited to the hiring of left-handed batting practice pitcher Mike Kashirsky for home games to assist left-hander and bullpen coach Juan Nieves. "It's important to have left-handed BP pitchers, just to create that feel before you go into a game, so your vision is set," hitting coach Jeff Manto said. No one ever thought of that before?
