12 for last 98 with RISP

So many games this team is just awful with RISP. Why do they keep acting like a fastball is coming?

So far I've seen Abreu and Avi let a 3-1 fastball down the plate go by then get out on the 3-2

LOL. I'm sure you will dredge them up.

 

See, even when a fan tries to be optimistic, it will be used against him later. So wouldn't it be easier if, like some here, I just came out against EVERY single move, and then claimed credit later when it didn't work out?

 

You're arguing against yourself...that I can't say anything positive or at least try to understand what the GM is attempting to do.

 

All that said, nobody here is paid to be GM of the White Sox. We can afford to be wrong in our evaluations, and it doesn't matter in real life.

 

 

Actually, go ahead. I would be interested in seeing what was written. I wasn't head over heels about Duke, he was a one year wonder concern from the very beginning. I don't remember being particularly excited about Samardzija. I was elated to get anything back for Jake Peavy, because I was never in favor of the extension in the first place.

It doesn't matter that is the point. Yet you ways try to give the illusion that you knew the correct moves all along. If RH and RV know as little about baseball as you claim, none of us no anything. That included you.

@whitesoxdom After tonight, Jose Quintana will be 120th out of 122 MLB starting pitchers (60+ IP) in run support per game (2.65 runs per game).

 

Sigh. Quintana has been one of my favorites on this team since he came up a few years ago. Painful to see the run support he gets.

LOL at Erik Johnson's 8.56 ERA going up against that Orioles line-up right now...

Great, now Melky is hurt.

Although I have reservations about this front office it would be fun to think about the returns of our veterans and core guys like Sale and Quintana.

Absolutely awful to see their game plan tonight

Terrible. We should know his only out pitch is a change and you can see it in his hand

#hahn is the #2 national trend on twitter right now. The people really want him fired.

Steverson's got an "out" here.

 

Current White Sox hitters have a career .470 OPS against Kyle Gibson.

 

Over 125 career at-bats. In some ways, this game was over before it even started.

Banking on them getting value is a fools errand. I'd rather keep them

Ya well we suck so I'm gona go rebuild on MLB the show lol.

What happened? Out of the game? Precautionary?

 

 

We've also now somehow given up 14 1/2 games in the standings to CLE since May 6th.

 

The 2005 Indians at their hottest made up 12 1/2 games on the White Sox from late July through the last 10 days of that season.

He's really done nothing to deserve his job right now and if they don't reach over 80 wins that'll really look bad for Hahn.

Please White Sox, do the right thing and trade Quintana. It's just obscene how the team can't hit for him. Just trade him ASAP for mercy''s sake.

And for gosh sake we don't need Morneau unless he's integral for next season. Just let Saladino DH. Time to blow it up.

Hahn isn't going anywhere. This is year 2 of some sort of 3 year plan. A 500 finish this year will be an improvement over last year and a success in the eyes of Sox ownership.

Probably better.

He needs to fire Robin first.

Hurt his wrist on a swing back in like the 5th or so. Stayed in for a little longer then was just taken out.

Hurt his wrist on a swing. They said he's day to day.

There's no reason to subject him or the fans to this any longer. Trade him for 4 prospects NOW. If we need a replacement pay Buehrle the minimum. right now you'd have to be an idiot to pay good money to go to a home game in which Quintana pitches. You are guaranteed to be bored senseless.

I don't think Hahn has the power to fire anyone. Maybe his secretary but that is most likely it.

Maybe they need a different approach when facing Kyle Gibson.....pathetic

Every single big out has been on a change. You'd think we'd scout that

 

I think you are over simplifying things. He has used the slider against Avi, Abreu and Anderson and uses the sinker effectively also to get outs . Problem is most of them aren't in the zone.

Eaton struck out by swinging on 2 pitches that were out of the strike zone. Can't win by being overly aggressive.
