That play is the Sox night so far. Angels are just finding the holes.

Well, it's important in terms of its outcome, but to me it's not something that players really control. Anyway, interesting to see other people's perspective on things.

 

How do they not control it?

Leury providing his always stellar D....not. He's been such a disappointment defensively.

 

I mean that was a tough play, he had to go a long way....

Angels want to play the Sox 162 games a year.

Hawk sounds like he wants to jump out of the booth. Hang in there, Grampa.

Good grief, Viciedo showing no fundamentals at all out there.

Doesn't the Sox have any coaches to work on that with DV? Most high school kids know better than that.

Viciedo now gunshy about throwing the ball.

 

That's where you absolutel gun the ball to 3B, trying to get Trout. He had a decent shot at him.

 

Something's going on where Viciedo's making mistake after mistake in his decision-making process. Coaching failure...

He needs to be a DH. It doesn't matter how well you throw if you can't catch or get into proper throwing position.

Score 2 runs to tie or 3 to win or it's time.

The exasperating thing is he really did it well in 2012.

 

I hope it's not the case where he loses focus/concentration (like Rios or DeAza) when the team's not in first place and kind of just coasting along and playing out the string.

How do they not control it?

They obviously control each at-bat, but the extent to which pretty much every player's stats with RISP and non-RISP vary each year indicates that players don't really hit better or worse in general with RISP, and that any disparity is just statistical randomness. If you take general stats and break them down into chunks, you're going to get statistical oddities when comparing the chunks (hence my day/night example), particularly when the sample is so small. It doesn't mean it's a good indication going forward.

Get Abreu up this inning.

Full speed ahead to the 2015 draft

Oh well.

 

 

Garcia looked like a pitcher the last two ABs.

 

What a terrible sports day.

This inning's evaporating quickly.

 

Well, now it's officially time to start looking forward to 2015.

 

White Sox just got outplayed/outmanaged and the tail end of the rotation was outpitched, not surprisingly.

 

 

Angels going for the SEASON sweep tomorrow. Or do they have another series with them? Hope not.

Noesi/Carroll= Angels have to be laughing how easy it was today.

Oh well.

 

To me, it's becoming obvious the core going forward is:

 

- Sale

- Quintana

- Danks

- Petricka

- Abreu

- Eaton

- Avi Garcia

- Gillaspie

 

Outside of those 8, there are a lot of roster spots to be filled or earned by the likes of Micah Johnson, Davidson, Semien

Who would have picked Petricka over Webb coming into this season?

 

He was kind of forgotten/overlooked since he became a reliever, like Saladino, as a former Top 10 prospect who had faded.

Holy s***, knew Leury was bad but just looked up his stats, didn't realise he was *that* bad. Yikes.

He should be passed up by Semien next season as the utility man.

Viciedo is a bone head. Saw that one coming when Pujols hit it.

If you add up our corner OF IQs, you MIGHT get to triple digits....

 

I had hope for Viciedo coming into the season, but those idiots have no f***in chance. They gone.
