whitesoxfan101 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Argh, our luck against Liriano (other than the BA at bat) runs out. 1-2-3 double play, and that one really hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Liriano works out of it, we get 1 but blow a chance for a couple more. Still a 5 run lead heading to the 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 08:37 PM) Ha....Anderson owns "stuff" pitchers. Does this mean he shouldn't even bother against J. Moyer? Pretty much. Right now, he's getting himself out between the ears. He's actually trying to be too patient. He wouldn't be striking out as much if he was more aggressive. His contact skills aren't as bad as what he's shown, but he's running deep counts and trying to fight pitches off. Once he reaches a healthy balance of swinging early when he likes his pitches, and taking when he's comfortable against a pitcher, we'll see a different hitter at the plate.

fathom Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 No problem with Cintron batting there. He just seemed a little eager at the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I would like to say that I hate having Brandon in right now. I don't like the fact that he's working in 2 innings every darn game he's in. Let Thornton pitch, it's been a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's so in-between at the plate. I'd rather just see him swing hard, and try to hit the ball in the gaps or over the fence. Honestly, he looks like a pitcher at the plate right now. He's not coming close to getting his arms extended on his swings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather see if McCarthy can get us to the 9th inning with a big lead, and then bring in Thornton. If you're going to bring McCarthy in, might as well take advantage of it.

Brian needs to realize we have a pretty patient team as it is and he doesn't need to work too hard for walks. When there is a chance for one, go for it, but at the same time be more aggressive and don't pass on pitches to hit in order to try and get a walk. And once again, B-Mac with stellar work out of the pen. Thatta boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to bring McCarthy in, might as well take advantage of it. It's more the fact that I don't like him pitching 2 innings every time he's out there. I know he's got the stamina to do it but he's in a new situation this year and we don't need him getting worn down, down the stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the fact that he's working in 2 innings every darn game he's in. Let Thornton pitch, it's been a while. He hasn't been getting a whole ton of work recently, and he also didn't throw that many pitches tonight. I agree with the premise that he shouldn't have to throw 2 innings an outing, but I can see the thought process here tonight, especially with how our pitching has been playing with fire this evening and is VERY fortunate to have only given up 2 runs.
