Just pissing away runs right now. Viciedo again can't deliver against the RHP. Free Dan Johnson!

 

 

You know what Hawk's position on that would be...don't want to destroy Viciedo's confidence, etc.

 

Hawks almost always is going to defend the starters, unless it's Brent Morel this season.

Hey, look, another mistake from AJ. Run out of the box, jackass.

 

I have no idea why he even considered running to 2nd on that one.

Santiago not even close in that AB. Always a bad idea to walk the #9 hitter.

Swinging at the fist piece of s*** they see, AJ bonehead play at least keep running to 2nd, neverknow of a wide throw or something.

So far we've got:

 

1) Alexei not showing up on time for the game

2) Olmedo not being able to execute a bunt

3) DeAza not taking out the catcher blocking the plate

4) No hitting with RISP

5) AJ calling a homer out of the box and not running all out after contact and getting picked off between 1st and 2nd

 

 

Looks like it will be Yankees, Orioles 1 GB and Rays 2 GB...down to the wire in the AL East.

AJ should have known from watching Rios' fly ball that the ball isn't carrying today.

Robin could have moved him to the 9th spot. Instead he leaves him there, which means more ABs for probably the worst hitter on the team.

You can't lose the LH hitter and take on Butler over and over again and get away with it.

Correction, worst hitter for Charlotte this year.

I'm sure someone will say Parent or Cooper is responsible for the lineup

Wasn't Santiago one of those guys with better numbers against righties than lefties?

Who's pitching right now? I can't even tell because of these damn uniforms with no names on the back

 

f***ing red/green uniforms, collect them all and toss them in a bonfire

Yes, which is probably because of the screwball which he doesn't throw to RH batters.

 

Good job, Hector!

Nicely done!

Didn't he throw Butler at least one screwball there?

Hector Santiago.

Righties, only .204 but 792 OPS and 9 homers

 

Lefties, .229, but a MUCH lower 631 OPS and only 1 homer

Jose Lopez looks like an automatic 5-3 at the plate. What an awful approach he currently has.

Screwball to butler was nice, butler just got a piece

Ugh, way too easy for Guthrie (who has nothing compared to his previous 2 starts vs the Sox).

Rios, DeAza twice and AJ all hitting the ball pretty darned hard to the OF.

 

But too many White Sox brain cramps to take advantage and jump out to the early advantage.

 

For a team that takes the least walks in the league, our pitchers are sure throwing a LOT of pitches against the Royals.

Is there any reason this game is not on tv in KC today and I still can't get it on mlb.com? Blackout?
