    Why so much animosity against White?

    in Pale Hose Talk

    Posted

    For God's sake, Manuel used Gordon and Marte even when we were blowing KC away in game 1 against the Royals.

    Thats cuz he pitched Rick White first... ;)

    Yeah but you can bring in Wunsch or Ginter or Koch then right with a 3 run lead? Why use Marte and Gordon every game?

     

    I know these are big games but when you are leading by 3, it is not needed immediately

    IMHO, I think he genuinely wants this team to win the whole thing. So he pointed out something we Sox fans have been saying for years.

     

    Manuel does tend to burn through his bullpen and is very wierd in the way he handles bull pens throughout his tenure here with the Sox.

     

    He does the same thing with the batting line ups too, which is why we all call him tinkeroo.

     

    Now, I know White has not been stellar for us, but if you look at the last month or so, he has been excellent except for one outing (the one against the riyals in game 1). Everyone is due a bad game here and there, and I think he is key to our success down the stretch.

     

    I actually agree with White's assessment of Manuel's bullpen handling. Case in point, last night why would you not let Ginter finish it up. Why waste Koch last night. Agreed Koch has had his problems, but there was no need to use him yesterday in a blowout.

     

    Secondly, in a 19 day stretch, when we were losing a lot of games, Glover was never used.

     

    Believe me, Marte and Gordon might lose an arm one of these days. For God's sake, Manuel used Gordon and Marte even when we were blowing KC away in game 1 against the Royals.

     

    He needs to learn to rest some of the bullpen folks when a game is one-sided either way.

     

    I just do not get the animosity towards White just because he is being honest. I rather have players being honest than giving me BS cliches all the time.

     

    He cares, so he speaks up .....and he gets ripped by everyone.....in favor of a manager who it seems until recently did not care for anything in all of your opinions. At least White cares......hasn't the argument against Manuelk always been he does not care neither do any of these White Sox players (during the corpse stretch early int he season?)

    Good job Jon....if we can get 3 more innings, we will be fine

     

    Hopefully, we add some more runs to let him attack while pitching

    "so it shall be said, so it shall be done" again,.....MAGGS DOES YARD WORK

     

    Now, can I become a millionaire? ...maybe that will come true too :D

    Hopefully, the Sox do not start any premature celebrations just yet...the next inning is the key...Jon needs to get out of the inning unscathed quickly

    Twinkies schedule

    ....if they ever decide to pull their heads out of the their collective asses

     

    From CNNSI:

     

    BQ Who has the most to gain in the next two months?

    If the Twins are ever going to make their move, it's going to be now. Sitting 6 1/2 games behind Kansas City for the AL Central lead -- and 3 1/2 in back of second-place Chicago -- Minnesota has a very favorable schedule to close the season. No more Yankees. No more Red Sox. No more A's. No more Mariners. The Twins' hard work outside of the division is finished.

    While the Royals and White Sox still must play each other 12 more times -- not to mention series with the Yankees -- the Twins can make up some serious ground. And fast. Consider the rest of their schedule: 13 with the Tigers, 12 with the Indians, six with the Orioles, Angels and Rangers ... and seven each with the two teams they're chasing, the Royals and White Sox.

     

    The Royals and White Sox are the only teams remaining on the Twins' schedule that are above .500. In fact, the average winning percentage of Minnesota's final 57 opponents is .425. For Chicago, it's .512; for Kansas City, it's .450).

     

    But to win the Central, the Twins still will have to figure out a way to beat the Royals and White Sox consistently. This season, Minnesota is 4-8 vs. Kansas City, 5-7 vs. Chicago. But the rest of the schedule certainly plays into the Twins' hands.

    Sox turned down Ponson for Crede

    Sidney Ponson - S - Baltimore Orioles Jul 30

     

    With contract talks going nowhere, Sidney Ponson is very much available going into the trade deadline.

     

    The Orioles want to make sure they'll get enough in return for Ponson to make it worth giving up the extra draft picks should he leave as a free agent. The White Sox reportedly turned down a deal that centered around Joe Crede. The Braves appear to be the favorites to land Ponson, but the Orioles aren't as interested in Wilson Betemit as they should be and may continue to insist on Johnny Estrada. Source: Baltimore Sun

    If it s an odd day, take the express purple line to downtown and then change to green line (total will not take more than 45-50 mins)

     

    If it is a weekend, the express does not work so it takes much more time (~1.5 hrs given you have to change)
