Nate Jones is on my mental midget list.

Jones .192 vs. LHB, .328 against RHB.

 

VENTURA IS AN IDIOT.

 

These are always not absolutely accurate because there are only certain kinds of opposite handed hitters they see and only certain times they see them -- not to mention sample size issues

That would be Ventura. All he has to do is look at the stats.

He's been very good this year, all things considered. Garcia wasn't touching an offspeed pitch from him.

He might as well have brought in Matt Thornton to face Garcia.

 

Stupid, stupid managing.

 

Once again, it doesn't matter, since we can't hit Scherzer or manage a single hit with RISP against this team, in this stadium.

 

Wise has been great for us, but we need a healthy DeAza back tmrw in the worst way.

He's faced 141 righties on the year. That's a pretty big sample size.

Yep. Kids get too confident in their 99mph fastball and forget major leaguers can hit those.

I get that...but this has been an ongoing trend all season long.

 

It hasn't reversed.

 

It's not like where Santiago was getting every RHB out at the beginning of the season but struggling with LHers.

Or the catcher/coaching staff has no faith in being able to block a pitch in the dirt with a man on 3rd

A gift there

Now we will proceed to strand him right there.

Nice start to the inning. I want to hear "It's All Good"

If Youk gets on, AJ gonna test Miggy with bunt for a hit.

I would very much like to hear that this evening

Good point. I believe that was a reason why Jenks was using his curve less and less. AJ couldn't catch it.

Aj gonna be first pitch swinging?

Haa haaaaa perfect.

Of course...goodness, these veterans are killing this team right now

There's nothing to do but laugh anymore.

 

Why get upset or frustrated? Pointless.

 

 

Bad at bat after bad at bad... Game only 3-0 seems like 15-0

Of course...goodness, these veterans are killing this team right now

If I know this, do you think the other team does?

Paulie hasnt had a clue since May

Konerko seems like he's already given up by his body language....sad to see out of a team on top of the world a week ago.

 

Here's YET another chance NOT to get a hit with RISP.

 

 

Why did dunn not start over konerko tonight? Just curious.

Completely agree, this team controls their own destiny, but if they can't beat their main competition, then I guess we're rooting against the Tigers in the postseason.
