justBLAZE Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Second game in a row we aren't hitting anything till late innings. Thome with a monster 3-RBI opposite field double, inches away from being a homer. Podsednik goes 2-4, scores the winning run on a triple by Chris Getz. Last but not least, don't look now but were 12-10 sole possession of AL Central's first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

103 mph screwball Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Pods gets the infield single, draws the balk, which takes the pitcher's mind of Getz, who gets the job done. Pods has a crappy career slugging percentage though and speed is overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) Buehrle with a quality start and win, Podsednik with 2 hits (including an infield hit and helping to force a balk) and the game winning run, White Sox in 1st place. Just like the good old days. Edited May 2, 2009 by whitesoxfan101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Great job by both Mark and the pen in locking in down to a very dangerous offensive team. It was also really nice to see a win without hitting a homer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the good old days. To be fair, he didn't force a balk. That guy just has a bad move. Meanwhile, I was surprised how much more attention Pods got when he reached base than any other guy on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) Really love winning whenever it's 4 to 3. Means excitement, but also your pitching was good enough against a challenge...and your hitting probably didnt face a total dud up there but was good enough at some point when it mattered.

BearSox Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) I think we all owe Ron Washington a big thank you for last night. Talk about a boneheaded move by taking out Feldman. Maybe the results would have been the same if Feldman stayed in, but taking him out right there was retarded. I know for a fact if I was Feldman, I wouldn't have given Washington the ball. f*** that, I'm having a great game, and as soon as I give up a couple of hits, you take me out? That's complete BS. I wonder what Nolan Ryan thought about that move last night from Washington... I am 99% sure Ryan didn't like that move one bit. However, as a White Sox fan, I'll take it!

This was only his second start of the season and was on a pitch count (per the Texas broadcast). Plus, Thome can't normally hit lefties. I don't think it was that bad of a move.

Yea but if it was almost anyone else on our team, they wouldn't have even bothered with a pickoff move. Even if it's more mystique from his former years than it is reality now, pitchers still think of him as annoying/dangerous when hes on base -- and that's advantage us.

It wasn't the pitch count that led to Washington taking him out, it was over managing. Feldman also had Thome's number on that night as well.

You seem to be ignoring the fact that Feldman was starting to come apart. It doesn't really matter how well he was doing before that inning. We've all seen that act before... cough, cough, Javy Vazquez, cough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't really matter how well he was doing before that inning. We've all seen that act before... cough, cough, Javy Vazquez, cough. I'd hardly say he was falling apart. He got two outs, gave up a dorksnort single to Getz, Fields had a solid hit, and than he walked Quentin. And he handled Thome pretty damn easily in his first two AB's. All pitchers usually run into some trouble, but that is quite the stretch to say he's falling apart. Who knows, he may have very well given up a grand slam to Thome. But it was his game and I'm inclined to believe that the outcome might have been different. It's BS when managers take out starting pitchers when it's their game to win.

bobryansson Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I was listening on XM to Rangers radio announcers and they said it looked to them as if he was "coming apart" for the first time in his brief stint there. Just FWIW... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
