Adam LaRoche is 27th in baseball in pitches per AB, yet most here think he is useless. I couldn't care less about pitches per AB. I would like to see a stat where they are swinging at good pitches to hit. Konerko's grand slam in the WS was on the first pitch. Some of it is just what kind of hitter you happen to be. Taking pitches can work against you if they are in the zone.

Letting every meatball fastball down the middle go by and swing at every breaking ball out of the zone not working either.

Bautista was really, really angry about that popup.

can i get a quick score update?

Sox 2-0

Thanks!

Samardjiza has gone through the heart of the order twice with Reyes on base, stranding him both times.

Too bad. His shank doubles were making me angry last night.

Beckham's average is down to .230

I like him in doses not every day.

Who woulda thunk it?

 

Seriously though. This team is hard to get excited for. Baserunning mistakes, defensive mistakes. 8 pitch innings. I can't just keep telling myself it'll get better because it's going to get warm soon .......... Let's threaten to move the Sox to Florida again then if this team is only good in the heat.

Thats what he was, is and always will be.

Who is in the booth with Stone?

Coleman is in charge of making sure players don't get attacked by the tarp rollers. If you think about it, he's done a stellar job so far.

 

OSHA outlawed them in 1993 don't tell the White Sox though

 

Chuck Zwerski (sp) is in the booth......without Stacy King he sounds very dull i guess he could grow on you though.

Chuck Swirsky is the radio guy, Stacey King is a TV guy. They don't announce together.

The Swirsk never works with Stacey King, and is awesome. I don't know about his baseball knowledge, but he knows a lot about basketball and is a really good guy.

Chuck said last night Toronto is 4-22 when scoring 4 runs or less. Hold them to 4, should be OK.

Thanks, missed it because he had quoted somebody else.

I will say this much, he has been an intelligent as an announcer. Instead of trying to show off, or act like knows more then he actually knows, he sets up his color guy with lots of good questions based on the situation going on in the game at the time. Typically a PBP guy would kind of start the conversation, or the color guy would jump in when he had a chance. Stone doesn't say much unless set up. Chuck is doing a good job of drawing him out. While he is rough around the edges, he has done a good job of understanding his limitations and trying not to do too much.

Chicago Sting reference now all I need to hear is the name Karl-Heinz Granitza.

RBI hit by Shuck, thrown out at 2nd

Base running so bad.

Karl Heinz will never be in Chicago again. He owes a lot of people a lot of money.
