I don't understand why Gillaspie isn't our #2 hitter. What about him says he isn't a solid fit for the #2 hole, besides lack of good speed? Lefty, handles the bat well, doesn't strike out a ton, leads the team in OBP, has gap power, I just think he is such a natural fit for that 2-hole.

 

What am I forgetting?

There's a lefty hitting #1 right now, that could play into it.

Is this the first time Dunn isn't in the lineup?

 

 

Since when? No DH in the national league park so Konerko and Dunn seem to be switching on and off playing 1B in interleague play

Is that homer only going to encourage DeAza to continue his 30% strikeout, "going for the downs" approach at the plate?

 

Does he think hitting more dingers will earn him a higher salary next year?

 

 

Valdespin? Sounds like Voldemort's sidekick from Harry Potter series, lol.

3 lefties in the lineup against a pitcher who has gigantic splits....ridiculous

 

Well, when the only other choices are Dunn, Danks, Keppinger and Gimenez....

 

Time for another Hawkism, every time the White Sox score....82.3% of the time the opponent responds with a run or runs of their own in the next half-inning (since mid-August, 2012).

7 homers in 33 innings for Peavy now

 

 

Increasing his trade value, apparently.

 

Well, some team that plays in a bigger stadium won't be as concerned. But that's what happens when you throw high fastballs that don't have the movement or zip on them that they used to.

 

He's still programmed to think like a dominant power pitcher. Sometimes he forgets who he is and reverts to the old muscle memory.

 

 

Well, one way not to lose MORE ground to the Tigers is for them never to play again, lol.
