SoxFan562004 Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 This morning Mike and Mike (Greenberg and Golic) were doing a little baseball round-up type segment and they mentioned how well the White Sox have been playing so far. Basically praised how well the team is responding to Ozzie, and said it's their best start in 12 years (Have no idea if that's true, but that's what they said). Only negative thing they mentioned was questioning the bull-pen. I know Greenberg use to work in Chicago about 5-10 years ago, and he seems to support the White Sox often.

DBAHO Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Only negative thing they mentioned was questioning the bull-pen. No doubt Billy Botch and whether or not he can handle bein the closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 No doubt Billy Botch and whether or not he can handle bein the closer. Heck at this point the only "negative" I have seen in the pen is Koch. Takatsu looked light years better in his last outing. No one else really worries me at all.

DBAHO Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 No one else really worries me at all. No otha team in this division can say that about all members of their bullpen. It will be a big advantage for us, if they can keep performin throughout the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 SportsCenter showed the lack of closers in the AL Central. Minny is the only team better than .500 in closing situations. And Koch shouldn't be a surprise. Disappointment, but not a surprise. The 2003 edition is back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I think Takatsu has struggled abit due to having to get use to the American style of baseball. It does seem now he is adjusting and pitching better. Even Lou Pinella mentioned Takatsu when Hawk was interviewing him Sunday. Said "that little japanese kid pitched extremely well for the Sox" or something to that effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espesially the first times a hitter sees him, it will be a huge advantage to Shingo. I want to see him more, but I think that NY preformance was mostly nerves.

EvilJester99 Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Yeah I think the Sox really need to get Takatsu into more games. He has only had a few innings worth of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
