longshot7 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Look at this - from the Trib: "The Sox entered the game against the Kansas City Royals hitting .256 and a league-worst .219 with runners in scoring position. The Sox ranked second in the majors last season with a .291 average with runners in scoring position, trailing only World Series champ Boston." Wow. But then again, what does Hawk say? It's not what you hit, it's when you hit 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the offense does come around, and I believe it will, this team is gonna be scary good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing, I don't believe the pitching is a fluke. This staff is as good as any in baseball. I totally expect for us to finish no worse than top 3 in era.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Seeing the topic title "hitless wonders" made me think of sumthing that I might not have thought of unless I was living in Cali for the past 25 yrs. "Hitless Wonders" and Go-Go Sox" are the two most recognizable nicknames for Sox teams that reached a World Series and now we are playing the same type of ball. Maybe its just White Sox karma that we always need to play this type of baseball to be successful. But if I go back to my Chicago roots I'd say it's only becuz wih our histroy of cheap owners with those types of teams we can only lay out the dough for 1/2 a team . Can't pay for pitching and hitting now can we ? Peace, out dudes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retro1983hat Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 The pitching will not be this dominant but the hitting should also not be this bad. So instead of winning 2-1, we should (hopefully) start winning some games 6-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valid question. When you have 5 guys who are solid, the beauty is odds are they won't all slump at once. You shouldn't have those long losing streaks. Once the hitting comes around and if the pitching slumps, as someone else said, you might just see higher scores. Remember, Ozzie told us to expect the 3-2 and 4-3 wins. He has a lot of confidence in those 5 arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 every pitcher gets rocked... im waiting for one of are starters to have a bad outting ... thats gonna suck alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 27 games into the season and we havent seen many bad outings, I think if our staff was just a fluke they would have given it up 2-3 weeks into the season.. I dont see why we couldnt keep up the solid pitching.. Its the hitting that worries me more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
