What happened?

 

Well, one thing is for certain. Danks is throwing way too much pitches and he's lacking that strikeout pitch at this point in the season. Seems he's getting a lot more contact this year and his FB isn't quite as lively as in 2008.

 

People don't miss high change-ups.

getz straight up drops the feed from beckham starting the double play, it rolls away from him, and getz just calmly trots after the ball, meanwhile Choo hustles his ass into 3rd. pathetic.

 

He didn't trot, he walked.

There is no way we come back. That HR took whatever momentum we had. The series doesn't look good either. There's so guy named David Huff pitching on Sunday. So looks for the same repeat performance.

 

BTW, we have not scored a run in the past 20 innings and only scored 1 in the past 23.

 

 

Didn't Harrison get 2 wins against us?

 

Jakabauskas, we beat him at least. The only one.

it was a trot. you don't walk with a 4 foot stride.

 

He trotted after it once Choo was halfway towards 3rd. Choo doesn't even attempt to go if Getz wasn't walking. To be honest, that was a hell of a hustle play by Choo.

regardless, it was a pathetic display by getz and he deserves not to play tomorrow.

What happened to the Chris Getz everyone was in love with the first couple of months?

 

Injury-prone? He was ALWAYS the player you could count on to hustle to first base and push it on the basepaths to take the extra bag.

 

If he's become lackadaisical as a rookie, then this franchise really needs to examine what we're teaching in the minor leagues. Ozzie can "go crazy" and rant/rave all he wants to, but the bottom line is a fundamental lack of talent.

 

Getz, on a really good team like the 2005 White Sox is a utility player and not a starter.

The FB isn't his problem today, as he hit 94 on the gun for the first time this season after consistently pitching at 92-94 last season. That alone is an encouraging sign. However, he is missing over the plate with his changeup, which is his out pitch. He has an awesome change, but if he keeps missing with it he's toast.
