My Dixie Normus Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Nice hustle that inning. Even Sweeney poured it on down the line on the last out. That is the way I like to see this team work. Crede went to two on the fly out. Mack bustin ass and making a good slide. That is how you manufacture runs, boys. Well done. That fly ball was no deeper than the one AJ tagged on against the Cubs last year. Looks like Mack takes a little different approach than AJ.

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Uribe playing Jeter perfectly takes a potential single up the middle away, 2 outs. Here is A-Rod, first pitch is a groundout to Gooch. Well done David, inning over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, that guy in the front office did. It's no wonder Texas fans are thinking they got fleeced. He's the total package. He's got everything you look for in a big-league pitcher and he throws the ball with his left hand. This kid is looking more and more like Buehrle Deux to me every time I see him toe the rubber--but, I still bet Buehrle wish he had that kid's yakker.

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 (edited) I agree based on pure strategy with the move to take Danks out (and it worked out at least there), but also keep in mind that we have 6 games in 5 days. Danks only threw 88 pitches today, many of which were low stress. We could start him Sunday against the Cubs now maybe, and with the day off next Thursday, his next start would be on 5 days rest.

I was bragging about it on Christmas Day when my whole Cubs fan family was ripping the s*** out of me becuase BMac was supposed to be the next ace of our staff and Kenny got completely hosed. I was actually surprised that Texas didnt try him out for a start or tow last year, that concerned me that he might not yet be ready and maybe were rushing him. But clearly, Texas missed the ball on him. He could have really helped their club last year. I didnt expect this mound presence this quick though, love his short memory after a mistake.

sox-r-us Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 3 pitch inning by Aardsma.....SWEET I am hoping he goes at least one more inning since we have a double header coming up tonight.....need to keep the BP ready for the night game.....with these Yankees.....pitching is the key. So will it be Aardsma for 8 and Jenks for 9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes nasty. he was into the 90's today with his heater, two kinds of hammers and a plus change. Not much more you could ask for. If Mark teaches him a cutter, he will elevate his game to the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can cut that 90's fastball like Buehrle, you're looking at a perennial double-digit-game-winner. ...to have that kind of poise in his rookie year, a year he projected to spend in Charlotte, is just gravy. Ballplayer. He's going to be around for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 (edited) Righties hitting .111 against Myers this year in 12 innings, lefties hitting .333 against him in 6 innings. How strange. Anyways, a groundout by Erstad, Uribe k's looking, and AJ singles up the middle, and we have a new pitcher again.

AddisonStSox Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ May 16, 2007 -> 03:11 PM) Please have AJ DH in game two. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that doesn't happen...managers are very reluctant to put themselves in a situation without a viable backup catcher. If Pierzynski DH's, that puts Mackowiak in the emergency C role and, quite frankly, that just scares the hell out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
