Rios looked like Pierre with that swing.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 01:56 AM) Hopefully the power follows shortly. His slugging doesn't cut it for any position other than pitcher. Once morel can get past juan pierre's career slugging mark... or starts taking walks at a respectable rate i will start getting a tad more excited. I'm not even greedy asking for both to click at once... but until then he is worthless offensively. For whatever it is worth, i have less faith in him growing into some solid power than i do him learning how to take a walk. I can't see him even sniffing crede's numbers, and if he does, it will likely be years down the road. I'll take a .329 avg. Hits mean rbi's and runs scored and to win you need to outscore the other team. He executed a perfect hit and run a few days ago. Right now he is very valuable to the club with just getting hits and his defense. Kind of old fashioned I know to appreciate the little things not just slugging and OPS but Morel is a damn good ball player and I like those. If he keeps this up his WAR should be OK.

Just keep winning, just keep winning winning winning .

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 06:08 PM) That throw actually seemed pretty damn close to me. But missed the cutoff man allowing the guy on 1st to get into scoring position and with a 4 run lead that's a no no.

Nice team victory. Kong Homer. Beckham great AB on his RBI single . Morel good D. Lillibridge 3 BB's and sweet catch. Danks, Crain and Santos combining to to get JD his 1st win. Quentin 2 more doubles for his league leading 20th. AJ 2 knocks and a ribbie but no rhubarb

great effort by lillibridge . off his glove ?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 11:55 AM) It was a smart call there, as you have to assume Juan can steal that base against that combination. Penny does throw a lot of ground balls, so Alexei was a 5-4-3 candidate. Smart call does not equal smart results if your jump is worthless.

I don't understand running there with a man on 3rd and 1 out. Well I understand Ozzie's thinking there. Alexei has hit into a a lot of DP's. You have a pitcher and catcher who don't exactly strike fear into a base runners heart. But terrible jump/read by Pierre .

Geez is getting your eyes checked every year part of being a baseball player ?

Let's go Adam !!!

We'll take that !

Captain Clutch we missed you.

Welcome back PK. Fully expected to see Teahen batting in the heart of the order.

TCQ at the top of the list for extra base hits.

Don't forget Dunn legging out an infield hit against a lefty .

It's the dreaded vote of confidence !

We have the Danks Theory so here's the Dunn Theory... http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/a...n-dh-white-sox/

If there's a calm before the storm then Adam is due to break out soon. 6 for last 56.

Dunn 3 HR day

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 31, 2011 -> 06:36 PM) He's got a good curve. But his stuff is hardly plus at this point. He's on a hot streak. That's how I see it. I'm not looking at him as a future staple because he's pitched well for a couple months. but wouldn't it be nice ? cue the Beach Boys.

If someone would have told me the Sox would pick up a mystery pitcher who pitches like a Cy young candidate I would have thought we'd be way ahead in the division.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 31, 2011 -> 03:42 AM) Why bunt when you high a potent, high average, offense? We're f***ed either way. I understand what you mean but Lester was on the ropes. It was the 4th inning against a hot hitting team. Lester walks 2 guys and Morel is in a hitters count and has shown some signs of life in May. Lester is LH Morel is right handed. I know Ozzie wanted to try to avoid the DP and Pierre has been hitting around .340 in his last 12 games but would have needed a hit to score a run there since it's unlikely he hits a sac fly. Peavy and the extra runs we got later made the call for the bunt there not look as bad as it was at the time. If it's the 8th or 9th I'm not as upset as I was at the time.

Woo hoo 3 pitchers and one DFA guy brought up before Tank.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ May 30, 2011 -> 07:05 PM) I agree with Ozzie a lot more than most on this board....but I'm really perplexed why Dunn wasn't sent up to bat for Q that inning. Thats too big of a bat to leave on the bench for the entire game. PH for Q ? really ? and with Dunn ?
