whitesoxfan101 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Pods takes a hanging breaking ball for strike 3. In other news, the sun rose this morning and people in the middle east are mad at each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Why does our leadoff hitter constantly take strike 3. His entire job is to get on base, walking back to the dugout without putting the ball even in play is not how you can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 They might just let fat man finish this game. All he should do is keep throwing changeups until we ground out, pop up, or whiff. Pretty easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought speed/slap hitters were supposed to make a lot of contact. I'll probably get ridiculed for saying this, but I'd rather have Pierre than Pods.

It would be useful if he learned to protect the plate, and fight off borderline pitches. He can't keep being such an easy out once there's 2 strikes on him.

whitesoxfan101 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 The Giordano's delivery of the game is the play at the plate that ended the 5th. Fitting since Cora may have delivered KC a victory with that call to send the runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been an embarrassing game for the Sox. Dropped flyball, ground rule double due to fan getting involved, and windmill Cora in full effect.

Tying run up now after Thome walks. Come on PK, please. EDIT: Here comes Burgos. Would be fitting if he picks up the 4 out save easily.

I really fail to see how Cora sends him with a $12 million a year hitter coming to the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
