joejoesox Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 this ball-game is ovah what a crock of s***, alexei's at-bat has me furious, what a stupid swing why the f*** would you swing at something above your god damn head, it's obviously not a f***ing strike, get a clue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenryan Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 and in typical White Sox fashion, we build something exciting only to see it end in a very anti-climatic way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 07:18 PM) Fields needs to shorten up here and drive this ball to the right side and get that tying run in. he tried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cochise Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 We won a game we should have lost and lost a game we should have won. Lets take the next two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 So, we lost by one in a game that CB literally gave Pena a second chance and he hit a homer. Also, whoever is in charge of defensive position really f'd up on Burrell's AB in the 6th. With Colon throwing everything on the outer half to righties, you can't have Getz playing up the middle.

Sox It To Em Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Well, we had no business winning yesterday, so I guess tonight's loss was just karmic retribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cochise Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I think people are bailing on Alexei a bit soon. Yeah he looks lost, maybe he needs to sit a few games and maybe Betemit should get a few more starts here and there. But if I recall, didn't he look lost last April?

I am getting sick of people jumping ship and saying he was a fluke. Give him a chance, yeah he's been awful, but we're only 10 games into the season. If he throws up a week like you know he can his numbers will come back to the norm. Give it some more time before calling for his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slumping is one thing but Alexei is well beyond slumping. He def. needs some extra BP and video work, if nothing else. it's time for some days off. You don't trade for Betemit to not use him tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks awful and needs a few days to get his head together. Take some BP, look at video. Realize that they are going to throw him a steady diet of breaking balls and offspeed stuff, especially early on in the count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cochise Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 The problem with this board is that when we lose everything is put under a microscope and blown out of proportion. First off, Matt Thornton and the Ump's crappy zone lost us that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
