QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 09:57 PM) Please itemize what was gained for the Chicago White Sox in pitches 100-120. And yes, of course Sale CAN do it. But there is no point in doing it. And most DON"T do it every 5th or 6th day. We gained 3 innings of scoreless pitching with a pitcher who was clearly not tired, hurt or laboring. . He struck out like... 8 of the last 10 batters or something... Arbitrary pitch counts... are arbitrary

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 26, 2016 -> 09:40 PM) ONly 120 pitches for Sale in this critical August series. Is anyone in the dugout or front office on planet earth? I guess you missed the part where Sale was striking out every thing that moved in the last 3 innings.

Abreu just not doing much with the bases load this year.

Sale... was great in april and May Pretty non spectacular since then.

Jennings is doom with for any pitcher who left runners on base.

Frazier really really has trouble making contact with the baseball...

QUOTE (The Mighty Mite @ Aug 23, 2016 -> 09:04 PM) Good to see him coming around but where was he when we needed him? He really is so important to us winning and losing...

Abreu starts hitting.. we start winning Since he hit his first homerun in... forever on aug 4th Aug 4th -23 His batting avg has went from .269 to 285 .361 6 hr 11 RBI over that time with an OPS well over .1000 We actually have a winning record in that time span...

if somehow we could have a two man rotation with sale and Quintana...

QUOTE (chisoxt @ Aug 18, 2016 -> 09:35 PM) Most of the time, my eye test of a players performance jives with the advanced statistics of how well a player is actually doing. However in the case with Nate, it is not the case. The eye test says he's been bad but his advanced metrics say otherwise. Jones is decent... but should be our 7th inning guy. The bullpen is so thin and horrible right now... It's full of guys with either no control or stuff that has blinking lights on it for takeoff. Robin is hot garbage... but he really is throwing out nerf bullets. What a mess of a bullpen.

Robin leads the league in conceding losses the last 4 seasons. He does have a pile of dung to throw out there... but he doesn't help himself either.

I don't care if its tied... You put in Robertson there so you have some chance...

another brilliant move by Robin Putting in tuner was conceding the game.... God can't wait for both of them to go the eff away.

Sorry Hawk... Millers slider is better than Sale's

I love how Jose likes to take the first pitch right down the middle then flail at nearly every other pitch. It's a pretty genius process.

QUOTE (captain54 @ Aug 17, 2016 -> 08:07 PM) If this manager had any stones he'd pull Abreu off of first. Immediately Wonder if he has the authority.... I'm not even kidding.

Abreu no more 1b for you... This also has to be currently one of the worse bullpens I've seen in quite awhile.

it's kind of comical... I'd rather have shuck pitch then albers... Why do they keep sending him out there.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 16, 2016 -> 07:09 PM) We have left four runners in scoring position in three innings Hey lefties... that cutter on the inside corner is likely to move back towards the middle. Let's not stare at it again for another called out strike 3 please.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 15, 2016 -> 07:28 PM) It certainly appears that Ventura has the respect of coaches, players and the front office. I Luke Robin and his style. I have never been a fan of those temper tantrum type managers What do we see that shows the players respect him? They have never really said much about him one way or the other (which is fitting to me). I honestly don't care about a managers style as long as they know how to push the right buttons... temper tantrums or non really isn't even what matters. It may not be much of Robin's fault.. but they have changed through a lot of players and gotten the same results. It's time to try another voice.

lol...

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 14, 2016 -> 01:30 PM) Sale is such a headcase. Should have been covering home. Wow its time to grow up Chris.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 14, 2016 -> 01:28 PM) Maybe the most pathetic inning of Sale's career here. Oh where oh where did his fastball go His fastball has been hittable for while.. if his slider is working he is elite If his offspeed isn't that great he is average.

Ain't happening Robin... Now with the current injuries Robin doesn't have a whole lot of options... nor to I question Robins strategy (usually) But the way the team plays, their mental edge, looseness and confidence has been bad since they couldn't score a run, and slid at the end of 2012 - it's lacking. It's always been that way. We've gotten many different players...but all the same results. It's time to see if another manager can stir something up.

worst bases loaded offense to ever be assembled.
