Lefties hit Parker really well and Gimenez is on the bench?

Robin might use stats less than Ozzie based on some of his decision-making.

Nice AB by Conor right there. Come on Tank.

 

I will give Robin credit though for finally shaking things up.

With Konerko being out he kind of had to. Rios desperately needed a break

Yeah, I guess these changes are unlikely to last past today, but they're still refreshing nonetheless.

Tank battled but couldn't get it done. Oh well, now it's your turn to K Adam.

I know he struck out but that was a pretty good AB by Viciedo in the first inning. Made him throw a lot of pitches.

Agree 100%.

Total opposite with Dunn

Dunn you worthless pile of s***

Why does he keep swinging at the damn change up out of the zone?? How does he not know that is what they are going to pitch him?

There just stares at a fastball right down the middle. Holy s*** I am done with this guy.

LOL. Viciedo and Dunn both take meatball pitches for strike 3.

This is like 2 years ago. Anybody who pays to go to a Sox game this season is an idiot. You have to watch Dunn and spending one penny to watch Dunn is too much money.

 

Hope all of you who live in Chicago are ONLY going to games when you can grab a free ticket from family or buddies this year.

I wouldnt be surprised even if it doesnt help if Manto is fired soon. If the struggles keep continuing that is.

I literally hate Adam f***ing Dunn more than any player in White Sox history. More than Jaime Navarro, Wil Cordero, Scott Linebrink, Darin Erstad, & Todd Ritchie.

How could he take that last pitch? It just proves how he's finished. He'll run into a home run ball or two during the rare stretches his brain has him simply make contact and elevate but most of the time he does s*** like that last at bat. What a stiff.

He's most definitely a stiff, that's for sure.

 

I wish I had more opportunities to see him play when he was one of the most consistent players in the game just to understand what he's doing differently up there.

Some of those HR he hit in his Cincinnati days were just incredible.

Well looks like more at bats for Flowers have been really paying off

Flowers is just so good

During that little stretch where he hit a batch of home runs this season he was just making contact and steering it right over the fence, going the other way. I guess he's just incapable of making contact except for a couple weeks total every season. He really looked like he had it figured out. I guess in retrospect he was making contact and elevating the other way against truly horrible pitchers. Any pitcher with a functioning brain strikes him out effortlessly.

Hahn talked about holding some players accountable for lack of effort on the radio today -- related?

 

Can't wait until the FO comes around for holding players accountable for lack of results.

What do you do with a guy like Konerko or Dunn? You can't send them to the minors, you can only bench so many of them, and "Cutting them" = paying the rest of their salary, which isn't exactly a major punishment.

I think he means a guy like Flowers and Jones.

 

I would cut Dunn, at least it spares is from seeing this. I don't care if we lose if the players show effort, rather have guys maybe not completely ready but giving 110% and caring than this malarkey. Rather see guys learning on the job than these bums.

Flowers earned a shot to work through struggles for more than 2 months. That's the rule for a guy who works his way up through the minors and has success. He gets until about the trade deadline, IMO. That's what you do when you want to "Rebuild", you take guys who have struggeld and you try to turn them into something.

 

Jones...what does his year last year earn him? And what if the pitching coach says he can get it together and his peripherals are pretty good (which is the case)?

 

The guy on this team who I'd be more than content with benching for a few games as an actual "Get your head in the game" punishment is De Aza.

 

Rios and Ramirez...they could use some rest at least.
