southsideirish71 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Situational hitting at the end of the game was great. Line drives, not doing too much. turning on it when its in. It was a good job hitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 To Pat Boyle. Why the f*** would the Sox pull Rob Mackowiak in the 7th inning for defensive purposes when he's one of the better outfield defenders on the team and it's only the seventh god damn inning? Seriously pull your head out of your ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankensteiner Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I really don't see why this team won't win the division. Our pitching is terrfic and while I expect Vazquez and Danks to give up more runs later in the year, I also see our hitting doing better to make up for the difference. I like our pitching matchups this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed in '05 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Alright. Javy once again with a good performance. Offense is slowly getting better and the pitching needs to keep doing a good job. PK is in one hell of a rut. Go get em tomorrow Danks.

Kalapse Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I'd like to commend Ozzie on his use of Javy Vazquez thus far this season, he's done a fantastic job of getting him out of there just before things get away from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 freaking a... come on PK! Stop sucking! Dont repeat 03 please... Vazquez also with another solid outing, but I would like to see him be able to go 7-8 innings. He starts out great, but just looks "okay" during the 5th and 6th innings. Not as bad as last year, but I'd like to see more improvement. Okay, lets go out, beat up some tigs, and get Danks his first MLB victory tomorrow... he should have at least 1.

danman31 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 09:59 PM) Offense still isn't clicking, but we scored late runs to win this game. The 8 hits isn't thrilling, but the team had 10 walks! 10 walks!! I'll take 18 baserunners in 8 innings thank you very much. 2-8 with RISP tonight isn't that bad, not to mention the 4 walks (including 1 IBB) in other plate appearances with RISP. Konerko was 0-2 with a walk with RISP. I'd say the offense is fine other than him right now. Since the 11th (the game in Oakland where Dye hit his 1st HR) he is 8-26 (.308). Everybody other than Konerko and Uribe had a hit tonight (I won't include Thome because he didn't even get an AB tonight ). I don't know what you call clicking, but tonight was damn good offensively. As for the win itself, very good win because the Sox needed this series with their April schedule. This series and the 2 game series @ KC are the only breaks in the early schedule. If the Sox finish April above .500 I'll be very happy and I said that before the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Good all round performance tonight. Offense got their hits when they had to, the bullpen did their part, and Javy gave us 6 solid innings. Let's take this momentum to Comerica and get on the Tigers like we did last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonik22 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I wish Vaz could have got the win, but it's a win none the less! I'm liking this whole pitching and hitting thing though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been much better this year. Generally when i scream at the TV, "Get him the F out of there Ozzie!", Ozzie listens now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Konerko is having a flashback to 03, look for him to keep up the trend. Ozzie has made GREAT decisions on when to go to the pen with Vaz this year, I want him to keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Very excited to see the pitching look so good. Also very excited to see the hitting start to show up. I'm hoping that Paulie comes around soon. He's struggling, but hopefully he can use the success he had after his 2003 struggles to get through it.

Dick Allen Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I still think Jenks is a problem. He does have 4 saves, but I think in at least 3 of them he came in with 3 run leads. Vazquez was good, thankfully they pulled him before damage instead of 2006 after damage. I'm not a big OG lover, but I do think he learns from his mistakes. It just takes him a while. I think the offense will get better. Danks won't be up against an ace tonight, and it will be a little warmer, so it should be a game where you can get a better idea of exactly where he and the White Sox offense are really at. It would be nice to beat the Tigers and go on a big roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 The most important thing I saw last night with the game was MacDougal coming in to minimize the the damage, and then in the next inning the Sox responding by putting up 3. There are going to be many games where the opposition ties it up or takes the lead, but if the Sox can stay resiliant and have many of the comebacks we saw yesterday, this team has a great shot at winning the Central.

Meh, he was hitting .223 going into June come 2005, I'm not worried at all. Given, he had 13 homers and an OPS around .800, but we're also two weeks into the season, and he's started cold before. He's a good enough hitter with enough protection in the lineup that I think he'll come out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCSox Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 07:15 AM) I thought he looked solid last night. The one guy who reached base looked at strike 3 but the ump called ball 4 for some reason. Agreed about the ump squeezing him, but I don't think that he looked solid at all. He has no command of his breaking ball right now. That's the pitch that made him a stud last year. Even with "only" a 95 mph fastball, Bobby can be an elite closer if he can locate that hook. If he can't locate a good offspeed pitch, he'll be above average at best... even at 98-100 mph. It's nice to see the Sox scoring runs again, although they're living and dying with the long ball and are still leaving too many runners in scoring position stranded.
