Mike Trout's walk-up music is Started From The Bottom? Maybe that'd make sense if the song applied to him, but I'm pretty sure he was born in Vineland, NJ.

 

It doesn't apply to the guy who wrote the song either. Maybe that's the point?

Trout Walk

Good grief Conor, making Sale's pitch count even higher

In today's episode of "the white sox defense says f*** you"

And here comes the Sox defense...

This damn defense

Conor giveth, and taketh away.

 

Sigh.

 

Well, at least it's Sale on the mound and not Quintana in this situation. But all those extra pitches early aren't helpful.

Why is Freese cleaning up

Conor come on.

Started out from the bottom of the 1st round?

 

 

Thankfully Freese up there instead of Hamilton...who's been on a tear recently.

Because Josh Hamilton doesn't need any more demons in his life.

Did Alexei think it was 2 outs or what?

Good job of getting out of it, but 20 pitch 1st inning

Alexei sure took his sweet ass time there

Did Alexei think it was 2 outs or what?

think he just double-clutched

I'm glad he took his time and turned the DP instead of committing an error from rushing it.

I feel like this Sneakermaker or whatever gets a bigger zone

What is Dunn swinging at?

 

Btw, the person who started this thread failed to mention this game is on MLBN

Dunn K is normal, method of K was not. That may be the furthest pitch from the zone he's ever swung at.

Why do we want Dunn re-signed? The guy's still under .235, and all he's doing is blocking younger players from coming up. If his contract expired last year, it'd be cool to have a Semien/Gillaspie 3B/DH split (screw the "DHs must hit home runs" rule).

Didn't realize Viciedo got demoted to 7th. But no wonder, his average is way down from what it was

4 k's already

This hitting makes me want to throw things... Pathetic

He's hitting 30% better than league average.

 

That said, I don't want him resigned. We're gonna need that DH slot with the amount of brutal defenders we have.

I do not want him back will be nice to have base to base runners Dunn and PK gone.
