Cabrera continues to make way too many soft outs on first pitches. In an ideal offense, he'd be the #9 hitter. Plain and simple, this offense isn't good enough to compete this season, especially with Ozzie calling the shots.

 

But, they are convinced he is the perfect #2 guy

If only everyone could hit like Toby Hall. 9 more outs to score some runs. If they lose this one I won't be too positive about the 2nd game. That said, how about another 1-2-3 for Danks. :gosox1:

 

Trachsel's one of the worst pitchers in baseball. If we struggle against him, the team should just quit.

Who else thinks nothing will change until Kenny, Ozzie, and/or Walk are gone? I don't see why I should expect anything different.

 

Hope for the best, but if they struggle this year, there's going to be a lot of changes.

The offense has been sliding the last couple years. We can hit the bomb, but not for average. Hall might now be over the Mendoza line, as least for one more at bat, but we have several under the line and some other closing down fast

So we had the bad second half of 06 when the offense shut down, then the complete collapse in 07, and now the worst BA in the American league. Maybe we can have some more great pieces in the Suntimes from the director of Whitesox marketing "Joe Cowley" about how Greg is the best hitting coach in baseball.

I can only hope so. All we gained from the 2005 season could be gone with another ~70 win season.

todays offense sucks.... what a waist of a solid start by Danks. Anytime we have Ramirez and Hall in there to go along with Uribe, you knows its going to be a long day.

 

I was thinking that before...I almost feel bad for Ozzie having to write those 3 names down in succession. However, it's his fault for those roster decisions he's made.

The Rob Deer philosophy to offensive baseball.

Judging by attendance, any benefits of that WS are gone. It's time to get that excitement surrounding the organization back. Thankfully, they can't take away the WS banner or my DVDs.

Walker should be fired just on the simple fact that we see this every f***ing time a soft tossing left hander is on the mound and we constantly get owned by them. You would think management would get sick of seeing the same s*** every f***ing time.

This was going on with Gary Ward too, and if they did fire Walker all that they would do is promote the AAA hitting coach

Oioles played situational hitting there with Huff grounding to the right side to advance the runner. But, the runner is on a with a soft single to left. I sure am tired of these soft hit or just wel placed hits from the opposition. Makes you wonder sometims if it's not defensive placement at fault?

If PK doesn't bobble that, it's a double play (I know Millar was running, but he's slow as hell). The opposition is getting well placed hits because they're using the whole field.

You're right, the Yanks were doing it and now it's the O's. It really is frustrating. I don't recall, was it happening in the previous series?
