Sox It To Em Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 AJ grounds into a DP to end the inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 That's about as bad a 3-1 swing as you're going to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, this is a good test for the Tigers' pen to see if they can shut down the White Sox...Leyland needs to know what he'll get out them in the late innings. Its cold, wet, and they have a warm plane taking them to a warm place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ is becoming my least favorite white sox...its like he predetermines whether he is gonna swing or not...youd typically think catchers might have a better knowledge of teh strike zone, but i guess not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course I'm wrong, in which case we'll finish no higher than 3rd place. Yep, there's no point in getting worried about it right now. I wasn't expecting a 95 win team this year, as it was obvious there were some holes that might not have been filled. I will say that this team would get better if KW decides to stick Alexei in CF and call up Beckham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room service DP ball...typical of how this game isn't going. 90% of the time when you miss those two early scoring opportunities against a good pitcher, you can put a fork in that game. Plus our defense is one of the worst in the major leagues...in terms of errors AND range (yes, you JD and Fields) I think we should all blame the game on BA. Anyone else out in CF today batting ninth and the White Sox probably win this one going away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 good god...im honestly blown away at how good macdougals stuff looks....its really a damn shame he can't locate 95 with tons of life, 92 on a cutter/slider....85 on a hard breaking slider....its really a shame he has no idea where the ball is going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that this team would get better if KW decides to stick Alexei in CF and call up Beckham. That's what I would do if I ran the show. I think Alexei's best defensive position at the end of the day might be CF too, although that's obviously based on limited knowledge. And yeah, the one positive I know I've seen is I thought the only chance the Sox had to win the division was if the division was bad, and I think that just might be the case.

daa84 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 make a f***ing effort to block the ball at least AJ....hawk blow it out your ass and call it like it is....AJ didnt even try on that pitch to block it....even if macdougal is hard to catch...you cant just try to backhand the ball the dirt with a man on base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else out in CF today batting ninth and the White Sox probably win this one going away. If BA (or Lillibridge, or Quentin/Thome) managed to bring in those two runs early, then they had at least a 50/50 chance to win this game. BA is even more important, because they can pitch around him to get to Lillibridge...so he HAS to make contact in that situation. Well, JD just saved one run there with his height, unfortunately it's too late to matter except for the highlight shows.

whitesoxfan101 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Baseball is really priviledged to have two of the best right handed hitters of all time in their prime with Pujols and Cabrera, and even Manny Ramirez is close to being in his prime despite his age.

Even with his horrid motion he used to be able to locate well enough to be elite in stretches. He's afraid of the bat IMO. He abandons his fastball and throws only sliders or he will start aiming and his fastball will lose all of its effectiveness. I don't think there is anyone who can fix him. You just have to hope he finds some sort of comfort zone for a while and ride it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year of his expensive contract, and he does have dominant stuff when he can locate it. We all wondered which MMac we'd get this season - the one from 2006 when he was good, or the one from 2007 and 2008 when he wasn't. Spring Training, he looked 2006. Now, he looks 2007. Again. I'd rather have Egbert or Wassermann up here, as I've said all along, but we'll see. It is still early, maybe MMac figures it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillibridge honestly looks like a pitcher at the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
