Yeah, Hawk. The walk is why we're facing Cabrera with bags loaded. Not Alexei's error.

Errors are going to happen. Walks with the frequency the White Sox pitchers are handing them out, should not.

I just don't get it. If you want to gamble on Cleto's stuff and have him work on it, then you should be hiding him at the back of the bullpen. We won a game by 14 runs the other day and he wasn't put in. Yet he's continuously getting put in in high-leverage situations when the only good stat he has this year is a fluky ERA. (Granted he's been a touch unlucky today but he's been very lucky other days)

Cleto a tad wild but he's one of the last bullpen guys I'd hate on right now.

My thoughts exactly!

Come on Webb

Well, go f***ing figure.

bummer. guy's a stud, though.

I called that............................3rd out today not in the cards.

f***.

2 seeing eye RBI singles for Miquel.

Good call soxfest. Time to go eat.

When you allow Bryan Holiday, Danny Worth, and Rajai Davis to reach in one inning, you deserve to get scored on.

This defensive shift stuff makes no sense to me. Why do it some at bats but not others?

Every run with 2 outs and we can't buy a 2 out hit. That'll make a difference. Very disheartening

I thought they played Miguel up the middle. What's up with that defensive alignment.

Yep, story of the game. With that said, hopefully we never have to see Danks leading off again.

Are you the guy from Ireland who doesn't know anything about baseball?

Very hittable high 95 MPH fastball.

 

SIGH.

 

Webb's got to be throwing harder than that to be a closer. Even if the gun is off 2 MPH, he's going to get killed at 97 MPH in that location with an 0-1 count.

 

Of course, Ventura's continued issues with bullpen management, hard to blame anyone for coming into that situation and failing to come through.

I guess the most crucial at bat we don't want to shift.. You either do it every time or don't do it at all. Doesn't make sense

That has been the case in many games so far in 2014.

Cleto might throw 97 mph, but his 8/4 BB/K ratio is horrible. He's one of many on this team that probably belongs in AAA right now.

Yeah it's Robin's fault Cleto walks everybody and Webb gives up a hit. What role did your boy Coop play?

Everyone's closer in waiting Webb was in not a layup.

He's thrown harder than that at pts this year too but ya those numbers aren't very good.

 

Thumbs up to Joba for using Edge's theme music!
