Nice AB for Dunn resulting in a walk

Come one Paulie, you're due.

You think he deserves another start?

 

Eh, I'm not sure if we could expect more than this kind of outing from Axelrod. He probably gets another. Still on the chopping block if we ever see a healthy Danks

I'm glad Robin didn't overreact. With a fresh bullpen I would have pulled him, but with the state of the pen you had to at least try to get more out of him -- it worked

 

State of the pen is pretty damn fresh

He shouldnt get another. But I have a feeling he will. At this point I rather see Axelrod.

That 2 seamer had some wicked bite

Shack's not going to like that swing

Why is God Bless America being sung here?

You have to realize that Humber is extremely valuable to the White Sox if he can command his pitches at all. Humber has NOTHING has an outing like this where Axelrod will have everything working and have similar stat lines. Phil had a great year last year and had mystified many by not succeeding sooner. While we John is still hurt and there are no actual prospects in waiting to replace him I don't mind trying one more start to catch lightning in a bottle. It took some real mettle to settle down after that third inning.

Humber had a great 1st half of the year last year. An ERA over 5 after the ASB raised some red flags.

He hasnt been able to do that for some time now.

Hopefully Santiago still has it despite sitting on the bench

Was hoping we'd see Jones start this inning.

 

Nice sharp roller to Beckham, 4-6-3, would be nice.

Excellent pitch by Hector there.

I'm all for benching him, but there's no replacement. He lucked out by having Robin trust him and show he could come back and hold them down a couple of innings tonight. He's even luckier that a guy like Axelrod is his only competition at the moment (this is due to Stewart and Santiago being in the bullpen, they were by far our best rotation depth last season). When the competition becomes Quintana, we've got something cooking. It's not for right now. Cooper is going to have to do a little coaching with these right handers and hopefully both can turn it around...but we may only need one to do so. Floyd certainly gets the nod if they keep having similar outings

White Sox currently leading the AL with 10 blown saves.

 

Let's NOT make it 11.

I think its only a matter of time now before Kenny goes and gets someone.

Nasty Nate

Amazing pitch that was

Bring in Ohman and put Nate in LF for a batter

No damage

I think its only a matter of time now before Kenny goes and gets someone.

 

My question is, of course, how does he do that? It will not reflect well upon KW if he trades away one/some of our few promising young players to get a shot at winning a division that will likely require 90 wins or less to make the playoffs. Mortgaging the future is no longer an option, we're not trying to buy into a 1-3 year window anymore.

 

 

Nate Jones is a monster
