How? It was lefty vs lefty?

Not the best of games for the coaching staff

RV being JV again tonight.

Well, we needed this not-so-subtle reminder that this team is going nowhere with the likes of Surkamp and Webb in high-leverage situations.

 

So thanks, White Sox.

Why is Surkamp being used in hugh leverage situations?

Because he is the only lefty we got and we are playing the twins...

I just thought I'd get the ball rolling

More like why is he in the majors. There has to be some lefty reliever in the system that can get other lefties out.

Hawk is back.

 

Bullpen is back.

He sucks. I am just giving Feeky some crap. He is a Surkamp fan.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 04:07 AM)
This bullpen is absolutely awful. Surkamp isn't even close to throwing a strike with his offspeed pitch. He belongs in the Paulino group for absolutely ridiculous expectations on here coming into the season.

Embarrassing bullpen.

Good post. We do need that reminder from time to time.

That hook!

Some money on the bullpen players who wont be released before or during the season would be nice Hahn.

I think Guerra has fanned the last 5 he's faced.

He's a starter. He was doing well as a starter. We decided to make him a reliever. It was dumb and we're paying for it

He's probably not any good at the MLB level, but one thing he's not is a LOOGY, and he's being used as a strict one. He actually has better numbers against righties in the minors.

Hopefully he does better than he did this year, as Downs was a complete flop and Belisario has been awful also. The Sox did spend some money on their pen this year, sadly.

4.54 in AAA with a .302 batting average against isn't doing "well", in my opinion. They had to try and make him a LOOGY, as righties were destroying him.

He is like many non top prospect pitchers, minor league starters who have to spend some time in the bullpen. If he can't handle it, he can go sell cars.

Eaton is on fire

steal bunt sac

Should be using Dunn here for Beckham, as you're not going to use Dunn in the 9th against Perkins.

88 and 89 right down the middle, whiff

Shouldn't someone on the coaching staff be aware of this fact? Amateur hour, per usual.

 

Beckham making sure every bat counts as a way to screw us with his shoulda-been-out-the-door-already suckitude
