LosMediasBlancas Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I've missed most of the last few games but I've noticed this lately, if Thome has 2 strikes on him and you throw him high, inside heat, he's DONE. Is he also taking a lot of strikes and falling behind in the count a lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 27, 2006 -> 11:12 PM) I've missed most of the last few games but I've noticed this lately, if Thome has 2 strikes on him and you throw him high, inside heat, he's DONE. Is he also taking a lot of strikes and falling behind in the count a lot? He's really not taking many pitches, all of a sudden he can't touch the low breaking ball, so pitchers are starting him off with it and he's getting down in the count early.

That's the book on Thome. Ice cold, then red hot, then ice cold, then red hot. Give him a few days and he'll be mashing again. You take the good with the bad sometimes if you want a force like JT in your lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 (edited) I think it's pretty obvious why we lost the first two games of the Blue Jays series, Ozzie is just a terrible 3b coach. Edited May 29, 2006 by Rowand44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tell you what, Cora's the best 3B coach in the league. I don't know about the National League, but he's by far the best 3B coach in the American League.

Balta1701 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 (edited) The Tribune is suggesting someone's about to be on the move. Taking a peek The Sox could add another pitcher by the end of the week as they gear up for a homestand against Texas, Detroit and Cleveland. Jeff Farnsworth, who was signed out of a tryout camp in early March, has a 1.48 earned-run average and nine saves for Triple-A Charlotte. Agustin Montero, who was sent down last Monday to make room for Jeff Nelson, has a 1.93 ERA with 27 strikeouts in 28 innings for the Knights. Left-hander Boone Logan, who was optioned on May 21, has allowed three runs in 22/3 innings but pitched a scoreless inning Saturday for Charlotte.

Dick Allen Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 This isn't 2006 White Sox, but White Sox related. I saw a little bit of the 5 reasons you can't blame someone show on ESPN and they had it about Babe Ruth being sold to the Yankees. What they said was Ruth wasn't going to play for Boston anymore and the Red Sox had 2 choices, either sell Ruth to the Yankees, or the other deal on the table was to trade him to the White Sox for Shoeless Joe Jackson. This was months before there was any knowledge of any Jackson involvement with the Black Sox scandal. How different White Sox history would have been. I wonder what number Harold Baines would have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 (edited) I didn't realize this until now, but wow, Paulie is really having a great season. I knew he was doing well just from watching the games, but I guess I overlooked him with how Thome is doing. Right now in the American League, Paulie is t-2nd in HR, 6th in RBI, and 9th in OPS Edited May 30, 2006 by Felix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
