WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Seattle playing Balentien in center when they have Suzuki and Reed is comical. And for the OC haters, don't worry you only have to put up with him for another two months or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox1844 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 QUOTE (sox1844 @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 06:26 PM) Who knows? Seems like there was more to that than we saw. He's usually really aggressive. Anybody hear him taking it back? Hahahah, he gets everyone all fired up that it was OC's fault, then blames Lexi. WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 07:24 PM) Wrong guy?!?...you're friggin kidding right? He threw it right where he was supposed to...on a line right over the bag. No, not kidding. You actually don't throw it in a line over the bag, you throw to the guy covering the bag, to one side or the other as he's arriving. It's all about timing on a double play, as a result you are throwing to a guy, not just to a bag. Mark thought Alexei had the coverage, you can see it from his head and his throw. Somewhere the communication was messed, or the wrong guy covered, or Mark just drew a blank when he whirled. We're all lacking enough information to place exact blame, end of story.

kwolf68 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 This is pathetic. Buerhle is horrible tonight. Bunch of .220 hitters teeing off on him. Seattle is a bad baseball team folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisoxdavid Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 ^correct me if Im wrong but if its a dp ball and the hitter is righty, shouldnt the ball go the 2nd baseman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Got home in time to see a disappointing score. Our middle infield defense is very overrated. This is a must win game with the bad match-up tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You throw to the line. That's what you're taught from Little League on...it's the SS play and he was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 All I know is on the replay, OC is going to the base, Alexei is backing up, and Mark throws it to the bag, slightly to the first base line. If OC keeps going, he has the DP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't you taught from Little League on up to always check with the 2b/SS to see who's covering? If Buehrle didn't do that, then shame on him.

If OC keeps going, he has the DP. Mark was throwing towards Alexei, there's no such thing as throwing to the bag on a double play. Cabrera wasn't even there in time to get the throw, if it was to Cabrera, Mark would have had to have waited a touch longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) Washburn really is the perfect hitter for Brian Anderson's swing. It's too bad he didn't get the start.
