ecoyne Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 11:09 PM) The Sox already faced BJ Ryan, who is every bit as good as Papelbon and they got a run off him, so yeah, they have. Right. But here is the thing with that game. Jon Gibbons (BJ manager) pannicked and put Ryan out there in the 8th. Ryan ended up working 2 full innings. Ryan mowed down 4 guys, I remember seeing the look on AJ's face after he K'd, he said he just didn't know how to hit the guy. With Ryan's style of pitching, he eventually is going to tire, especially for two innings of work. I was not surprised when the White Sox tied the game. It was obvious Ryan was really tired. But, if you are down by 2 runs in the top of the 9th against Ryan who is fresh coming out of the bullpen - do you feel that confident? Same argument applies to Papelbon, I will be really surprised this evening if he gives up a run. But to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitoMB345 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Nice first swing out there Uribe. God, even when you're "hot" you lack plate discipline. Fine him. You NEED to take pitches this late in the game. For the love of god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jphat007 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 08:18 PM) He's been rolling over a lot of pitches. I think the ASB will do him well, as hopefully he'll get some bat speed back. He has over a 1.000 OPS in his last like 20 games. Why would time off do him well?

Capn12 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 1 more ER for Buehrle, and we'll be sporting a starting rotation that has 80% of its members with an ERA over 4.00....pitching is CLEARLY our strength this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
