I don't know about you guys but i've had it with Alexei's brain farts. Dumbass just gave them a run. And why can't Quintana just pitch with confidence like in his last start? Instead of being afraid and cautious with every pitch to this crumby chubs lineup? WHYYYY

 

I wouldn't blame Q at all for Lexi's total screw up. That was such an easy DP to end the inning.

Alexei sucks. He's overrated. Anyone disagree?

In today's game of baseball, Alexei Ramirez doesn't suck. I disagree wholeheartedly. He might be a dumb baseball player, but he does NOT suck.

Stone says Rizzo will kill fastballs outside. Most of the pitches to him were fastballs outside - fortunately they were balls. Soriano loves low and inside. They pitched him low and inside and he kills it. Who calls these pitches?

And yet trading or benching Ramirez isn't going to work either...

 

Catch-22.

 

Remember the Olmedo disaster last year when Alexei was late and benched?

 

Honestly, you can't play a shortstop every single inning of every single game for 2 months and not expect them to wear down or make some mental mistakes.

 

Part of that's on Hahn for not providing another option besides Keppinger (yeah, Sanchez was DL'ed and Beckham hurt) and Tyler Greene that Ventura would feel comfortable with playing there.

That I agree and what I've always said. Bunch of talent 2 cent brain

If Alexei had a bigger brain and more muscle he would be the greatest player ever.

Which means...the manager needs to go into spring training knowing he needs to drill every single basic move into Lexi's head over and over.

 

I think that happened last year. I think he got the Ozzie "he's a veteran and he knows how to get himself ready" treatment this year.

Quintana settling down.

 

The main question is whether our offense will show up tonight.

 

If they can't get motivated playing in front of their 2nd biggest crowd of the season and for the first time back at .500 for weeks, don't know what to say.

 

Tip your cap?

My favorite way to describe Alexei is the attention span of a Hummingbird with ADHD.

Almost had that one

LOL

The nicest thing you could say about the White Sox is that they were "complacent" in spring training this year.

 

Which really isn't understandable with how last season ended...with a very bitter taste in their mouths, with the 3-9 mark against the Royals in August/Sept, etc.

 

 

Viciedo can't load his hands up as much there against guys throwing 96. Needs to be short and quick/er.

Did you spend the spring at Camelback or just making things up?

I assume Dick Allen loves Keppinger thanks to the Rush at bat music.

Kepp....thanks for that terrible at bat.

Everything that has been written, inferred/implied....going from the best defense in the AL to the worst with almost the exact same line-up except for AJ/Flowers and Beckham's injury.

 

Many, many more fundamentals errors, missed cutoff men, base-running....it has been endemic, and a good explanation has never been provided, beyond the carryover effect from the last 6 weeks of 2012.

 

How else can you explain it?

 

 

 

Farmer saying more Cubs fans there than Sox fans by the sounds coming from the crowd on the DP. From the noise, you would have thought the throw got away or went into the stands, but it was Cubs' fans cheering....

Flowers should sswing hard in case he hits it

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 27, 2013 -> 05:53 PM)
Nice single by Conor, quickly erased.

 

 

He has the title now of "shortest/quickest" swing against a FB...passed down from Paulie, finally.

It would be nice to see Connor batting 2nd with that line drive bat he has.
