jphat007 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 It'll be interesting to see how he pitches when he isn't down 4 runs. Hopefully he'll continue to throw strikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 He threw strikes and thus got hitters out. Quite the concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFanForever Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Perhaps we can get Cliff a video of Tracey pitching for when he returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dixie Normus Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I hope this kid seals up the hole in the BP so we can fix SS or CF with the pending deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 At least Tracey looks like he can mop up. Politte couldn't even do that. Like someone said above, it will be interesting to see how he does in a situation not as comfortable as a 4 run deficit, but he definitely looked pretty good. He's been starting in Charlotte. Put him in Garland's spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 If he can throw strikes, and not walk guys, he'll be a nice addition to the pen. But control has always been the issue for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dam8610 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Anyone think Tracey has a real shot at earning and keeping a pen spot this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&T Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 This team will take anyone that can get the job done. If Tracey can do it, he'll be here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do, not only can he eat innings, but when hes on, he has an amazing GB/K rate(as seen by the two tailor made DP balls tonight) yum!, i was reading in the AAP that he can hit between 94-98 is that true? it was saying 89 on the tv screen. Can anyone who was at the park tell me what he was hitting? Also i read @ baseballanalysts.com that he features a power sinker / slider / 4 seam fastball and i too feel just like the Cheat said in his blog that being under Coop can only help him reach his full potential.

I saw 90 multiple times out of him tonight, but he threw his sinker a lot. I think he's a guy who can go mid 90s but doesn't use his fastball that much.

3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Let's take it easy now. Boone Logan once looked good as well. Obviously a different situation but can we see some more games and different situations before we annoint him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think we're desperate to have somebody, anybody step-up and do atleast a decent job in the 'pen. I've liked Tracey for a while. I think he has a chance to be a good one. I'm not about to get excited over one performance in which we were down 4 runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracey has good stuff and a werid delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comcast gun is slow, not as slow as the WCIU/WGN gun, but it's still a few ticks slow. He was probably 92-94 tonight, but that is also with just 2 days rest after starting and pitching 7 innings on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that they can get a true reading in the park, but they cannot on the TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Tracey looks to be really tough to pick up with that bounce in his delievery. He looks like he has good stuff, and the error behind him didn't seem to bother him at all, which is a big plus. The guy wasn't rattled in his ML debut, even wtih bad D behind him. Good signs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Between the delivery and raw stuff, Tracey has legit major league bullpen stuff, he has the ability to pitch and pitch very well out of the pen. The key is and will continue to be control, so let's hope he and Coop keep working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
