Well, Jones looked fantastic. If he's healthy, an 8th-9th inning of him and Robertson is nasty.

 

Yep, at this point, don't abuse him and get him comfortable in the set-up role going into next year. I actually do trust the Sox to handle him well.

His delivery reminded me of McCarthy. It's really quick and he flies through it. Didn't make me think of Danks. He's not as lanky so it's like he just starts and explodes forwards.

 

Fulmer does everything quickly. He has an incredible pickoff move for a RHP

I can't see him changing his mechanics much, so I'm sure they'll keep him as a starter and just hope for the best.

 

Oh I agree they want and badly need him to be a starter and a successful one.

Some bad body language there

 

haha, "Bad Body Language" has been practically the White Sox motto since the Franco-Prussian War.

 

to those who follow this sorry team, just based on numbers and optics, how on earth has Todd Steverson and Robin not get fired like in May or early June.

 

Talk about textbook definition of "unprepared + deer in headlights" collective look

 

Mercy!

Goodness, he destroyed that!

The Rock finally teed off on one.

LaRoche did something!

KC fans I've seen on twitter this year hate that their 3rd best reliever is their closer.

Really? Even I'd PH for Flowers here.

He's looked good tonight. I'm fine with him hitting, even though he looks lost here.

Really? Even I'd PH for Flowers here.

 

Nah

Really? Even I'd PH for Flowers here.

 

I will say that having Bonifacio and Beckham on the bench to go with Leury is a complete joke. The reluctance of the Sox to cut ties with Bonifacio at this point of the season is crazy to me.

Bonifacio is on the DL still right?

The little things...perfect game to illustrate why they're in first, and the Sox aren't a .500 team.

Shuck is

Bonifacio is on the DL still right?

yes

Shuck is

Shuck going on the DL brought up doubleT, Bonifacio going on the DL brought up Leury.

Our bench is currently Beckham, Soto, L. Garcia, and Thompson.

Mercy!

 

This is the truth... I've never seen a team that played so scared and without confidence.

 

Robin is a laid back dude... but his teams do NOT play laid back.

 

It's a joke.

Very, very encouraging work from Nate Jones tonight.

Shuck going on the DL brought up doubleT, Bonifacio going on the DL brought up Leury.

 

Wow, that's completely my fault and explains why he hasn't been DFA'd

No lefties on the bench was what I was thinking when I saw Flowers hitting but hell rather see Soto up there to PH.

Game was lost in the 8th. Saladino missed 2 hangers one he didn't swimg at, Abreu didn't swing at one and struck out on a pitch a foot outside.

Danks did well but he was getting his pitches up and was laboring. Robin should've pulled him after the 1st 2 Royals got on base. Just say job well done and hope the BP does its job instead of insisting he go 6 innings.

Really? Even I'd PH for Flowers here.

 

LOL, I'd PH for Tyler Flowers for the rest of his natural life.

 

I mean how can someone who looks

 

a. so clueless (for a catcher especially since they R supposed to have high IQ and pitch recognition by virtue of their position)

b. so defeated

c. so slow in his reaction time and batspeed

d. so stiff in his stance

e. so uncoordinated in his swing

f. so uncharacteristically pull-happy

 

wasn't Tyler Flowers K-Dub's crown jewel in the Javy Vazquez trade IIRC? Didn't he have an unusual natural power to opposite field, advance ability to draw walks and just general confident attitude? What the hell happened? RWS Roid withdrawal Syndrome doesn't explain for how pathetic he looks now. Part is definately the usual Sox coaching voodoo doing a number on his swing.
