pathetic AB by Ramirez

Where was this Gavin Floyd all season long?

 

He's pitching at a noticeably faster pace than usual. Just getting the ball and throwing it back to the catcher.

 

And his curveball has been impressive in nullifying the bats of a mostly FB hitting team.

 

Hard to snap a curveball when your elbow hurts.

Great ab so far

At least it took 8 pitches for Johnson to K. Progress?

It would be interesting to see if the Tigers start Max over Verlander in game 1 of the playoffs if they make it. He's clearly the better pitcher right now.

Come on Pepsi Presents New Zanzibar...

Luckily I have a class and won't need to sit through 6 more innings of Sox bad at-bats.

 

Because the most interesting time of this game will be the last 2-3 innings, as usual.

 

46 pitches for Scherzer, 41 for Floyd.

 

 

Johnson and Hudson completely blown away by Scherzer's stuff.

That's what happens when you come off the bench and try to hit a guy like that...almost impossible to keep up your timing with just regular BP.

 

We saw what happened when Tyler got more repetitions, his swing tightened up just enough to start experiencing some success.

To set Verlander up for a game 5 if necessary?

Does anyone else follow that WhiteSoxDiaries chick on twitter?

Ugh I keep waiting for one of their fatf***s to go mo vaughn and eat himself out of baseball, and for one of their starters to reach back for a bit too much and pull a tony Saunders. Neither ever happens

I agree except for the pat on the ass

 

Last night I wanted to kick him in the nuts.

 

Trolllin, trolllin, trollin...

 

Don't you ever get sick of sucking off the opponent?

 

At some point, this team needs to win games.

Johnson and Hudson had good ABs. Make Scherzer work.

Yep, much more likely to get the run home by stealing 2nd and then Konerko singles to right.

 

Konerko doesn't appear to be doing well with RISP.

I get more sick of people who only show up and complain when things are going badly.

That was classic Peavy(the one we have seen in the last few games).

Scherzer looks just like the dude from Fargo...

Angels beat him by going oppo. Good plan against a tough hurler. Our guys are yanking.

LOL! He does!

I'm here all the time.

 

It's 0-0. Are things going badly?

And complaining... like usual.

after winning gm1 in convincing fashion, the crazy optimist in me started thinking the worst we could do was lose 2/3 and exit up two games.

 

should have known better, can already feel the tie for 1st by close of business tomorrow, regardless of how good Gavin looks tonight; our two hit games aren't going to get 'er done.

 

up three with three to play could have put these guys in a giant hole after this series.....

 

 

Sit down, rummy.

Got Cabrera to expand his strike zone and swing at a ball there.

Haven't seen 95 MPH out of Floyd in quite some time.
