flavum Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 08:06 PM) At least Q dealt with the middle of their order, that's something. And if we lose, we lose quick...which is nice. Could be worse. We could be Twins fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 07:07 PM) Not living in Chicago makes it hard for you to sense just how little buzz there is about the Sox this year. The Nats announcers seemed pretty amazed that we led the division almost the entire season last year and our biggest off-season move was Jeff Keppinger.

Chicago White Sox Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 We really need Rios or Dunn to jack one. I don't have a lot of faith in our offense being able to string multiple hits together tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now 2 quality starts in his last 9, the other against DET on September 10th. Masterson coming out for the 9th with over 100 pitches. That's a bit of a shocker, in this weather. Hill will likely face Adam Dunn. Have to love Francona's confidence. 108 pitches. Ace vs. the other team's best power threat, RHP vs. lefty batter. Typical manager pulls Masterson and prevents the possibility of a win for his pitcher. Edited April 13, 2013 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) Keppinger has not hit anything hard this season. It will be interesting to see if Ventura has the guts to move him down in the order. Edited April 13, 2013 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Francona's gamble against Dunn pays off. The situation that always seems to come back and hurt us...relievers in tie games late, especially Addison Reed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you even bothering to count the starts at the end of last year. We all know he pitched a lot more innings in a season than he ever had before .

greg775 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 It would be nice to beat this lousy team, 1-0, in 10 innings. Sox look like a different team on the road. When you are built to hit home runs, though, this s*** will happen on the road a lot. We're going to have to eventually start whacking singles and doubles or we are going to lose a s*** ton of road games this year. Agreed? The long ball at home should help us win four of every six in the Cell, though, if we keep whacking homers at the rate of last homestand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Last year, for 4 1/2 months of the season, we led the AL, maybe all of MLB, hitting with RISP. How can we have gone from first to WORST in that time frame? I wonder if a team has ever gone from Top 5 with RISP to bottom 5 from year to year...?

We all know he pitched a lot more innings in a season than he ever had before . Because he looked horrible in his first start this year as well. You just hope it's not part of a general trend, versus simple "tiredness." We still don't know exactly what we have, because of the horrible weather tonight. One month in AA, never pitched in AAA...who knows what Quintana's final line will look like? Nobody could predict it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
