QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 06:27 PM) Um hello umpires.... Sox player got hit after warning.... Was it completely obviously a mistake?

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 06:25 PM) i wouldn't JC the way he is going. i might even let him go 9. there really isn't any stress on his arm tonight. he hasn't used the fastball that much. In a 1-0 game against the Yankees, with (hopefully) the heart of their order coming up in the 9th? If anyone but Dustin pitches that inning... :puke

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 06:24 PM) If we can put 1-3 runs on the board this inning, there will probably be more of a willingness to let him continue. How about 9...against this bullpen...you think we can pull off 9?

By the way...7 shutout innings against this Yankee Lineup, on 96 pitches, with only 2 walks, 1 HBP, and 2 hits? That is freaking incredible Jose.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 06:20 PM) That should be it for the Count. He's going to face these guys again next week and will have a lot of confidence with the way he pitched tonight. I see no reason to not at least let him pitch to Womack...and maybe Jeter if Womack doesn't get on. He's only thrown 96 pitches. I'll bet you we see Marte come in against Cano.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 05:47 PM) Buehrle could have pitched a whole game during these last 2 ab's. That's why it's so important to get Pods on the basepaths...even when we're not driving him in, things like this happen.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 05:46 PM) Just imagine what that OPS would be if he didn't have that bad May. He's in danger of repeating it this month.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 05:46 PM) Time for a 320 ft homer by AJP. Iguchi gave him a chance to look at a lot of pitches...

If you count the throws over to 1b, that was a 16 "throw" at bat.

10th pitch this at bat...11th coming up...

I feel like it's time to try a hit & run.

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 05:41 PM) I wonder how many pitches Chacon has thrown to Tino tonight. 5 this at bat thus far...I've always wondered why they don't compile those numbers with the pitch counts...1b is the same distance from the mound as home plate.

Scottie gets back in gear and suddenly people will have a lot less to complain about with the offense.

Uribe now hitting a monstrous .158 in August.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 05:34 PM) Anyone wanna compliment Jose on his stellar pitching thus far? 5 shutout innings against the Yankees? Yeah, that ain't too bad. Do we have a smiley with a Cuban flag?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 05:33 PM) I think it was the former. However, who gives a s***....it was an out Can we please put together some good ABs? You'd think that at least Chacon would have to tire out at some point...

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 05:32 PM) He's thrown 69 pitches through 4.2 innings...at that rate he should be able to get through 7, or at least through part of the 7th. Check that, 71 through 5. That's an average of 14.2 pitches per inning. So at this pace, he finishes up 7 innings with 99 pitches.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 05:30 PM) The Count has been sharp, but if I were Ozzie, I'd be really happy with 6 good innings tonight. He's thrown 69 pitches through 4.2 innings...at that rate he should be able to get through 7, or at least through part of the 7th.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 04:52 PM) There is a guy on the AOL board that says Crede is one of the best all around players in baseball. He has played some excellent defense this year, you've got to give him that.

Chacon has faced the minimum through 3.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 04:49 PM) Crede pops up. The Corpseball POPUP O MATIC has been loaded and is in full effect. Down to a smooth .125 batting average this month for Crede now.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 04:48 PM) We have a pitcher who walks a lot of guys with a bunch of hitters who dont have good OBP because they swing at pitch one or pitch two. Chacon's thrown 40 pitches and 22 strikes. That's a horrible ratio. No one should be swinging before he throws at least a 1st strike.

Tony Womack does his best Timo Perez impression.

Tino walks.

Posada goes 3-2 and then strikes out swinging.
