whitesoxfan101 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Ozzie made up for his horrible decision to pitch to Morneau in the 10th on Tuesday by leaving Count in today. Should have been a sweep, but can't argue with 2 of 3 at Minnesota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 (edited) From the Trib's postgame article: White Sox starters have lasted at least six innings in 16 straight starts -- the longest active streak in the majors.

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 They showed during the broadcast this is the longest streak of 6 inning stars we've had since like the late 70's or early 80's. Impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 So should we still trade Contreras for nothing? Not to be a Debbie Downer, but we really should've swept Minny and Detroit at their territories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullcollapse Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 how did sweeny look in center today?. if he can play a half way decent center field there is absolutely no reason for terrero to be on the 25 man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeney will not play everyday over Pods or Erstad with our manager, and we're not using him as a part time player and costing him at bats. He's going back to AAA when we are healthy, the sooner people deal with it (regardless of if you like it or not), the better.

Then this talk really is stupid, isn't it? Well didn't Ozzie mention that Sweeney would be sent down when Thome came back? “Is he ready to play?’’ Guillen said. “He’s a little behind. He’s a baby. But he gives me big hits and he’s playing outstanding outfield. He has a lot of pluses. Is he ready yet? No, not really at this time. Maybe later on in the year he is.’’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RME JICO Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 (edited) Sox starters have lasted at least 6 innings in 16 straight starts and have only had 7 starts less than 6 innings (with 2 of those being opening day and Buehrle's injury). Starts less than 6 innings Buehrle 1 Contreras 2 Danks 2 Garland 1 Vazquez 1 Edited May 10, 2007 by RME JICO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I think our Rotation has surpassed Minnesota as the best rotation in the Central so far in this early season. Before last nights game, the Sox were behind the Twins like 4-5 place with a difference of ERA at about .10, but after these past two games, I am fairly certain that they have pretty much switched places. If our pitching can keep this up, with our offense hopefully coming back to life (Konerko is starting to come around, and Dye a little), we can be a very dangerous team. I think when Thome and Hall come back which could be as early as sometime next week, our offense will come to life. If it was up to me, when Thome and Hall come back, Stavo and Terrero would go down. Also, I am still pissed about forgetting about this game, and not tivoing it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 (edited) QUOTE(witesoxfan @ May 10, 2007 -> 02:49 PM) And Erstad's growing on me. He'd be the perfect 4th OFer, and I still don't want him starting, but he's the team's best option right now, and he appears to be playing with a bit of a chip on his shoulder. Hopefully he keeps producing like he has been, and if he does, I hope he stays healthy. Hes one of the top producing leadoff hitters in the AL right now. Im not sure that says "4th OF'er" to anyone. Batting leadoff: .328 .375 5 BB 4k 67 at bats. Edited May 10, 2007 by RockRaines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretchstretch Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 QUOTE(danman31 @ May 10, 2007 -> 02:34 PM) Boom! Though I still don't understand why everyone is so obsessed with Sweeney's .259 average. it's when he gets the hits, not how many of them, the rest of the team has had an unbelievable knack this season for getting all their hits when no one is in scoring posistion. I don't care if he's batting .150 if all his hits result in at least one RBI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be a downer, but the team ERA after May last year was 4.06, and that's with Garland putting up an ERA of 6.25 before June. You including Jon pitching very well this year, and it's easy to see why the pitching staff has been good. I want to see if they keep it up through June, and if they do, they'll have my full confidence.

LVSoxFan Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I thought Sweeney looked great today. I LOL'd when he called Uribe off that pop fly (no I will NOT say "can of corn") and the look he gave him afterward. Also, anybody catch that AJ said something to him when they were shaking hands in line? I would love to hear what that was. Sweeney.... yes!

WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I think everyone on this board agrees with me that it would be an absolute travesty is Pods plays over Sweeney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pods is probably a better hitter, but not by much. Definitely he'll work more walks. And he's probably a bigger threat on the bases (if/when he's healthy). Other than that, I can see no reason why he should play before Sweeney. In the outfield it's no comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that .300+ batting average Podsednik had before getting hurt isn't good or anything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
