caulfield12 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 07:45 PM) Funny, as that's my same attitude about Quentin. Call him up, and if the pain is too much, shut him down for the season. Then we bring in Juan Pierre when McCourt agrees to eat 80% of his contract as a favor to JR and Ozzie has his NL team with Juan, Scotty Pods, Getz, Beckham, Nix and Ramirez to utilize as he sees fit.

JohnCangelosi Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 07:36 PM) I'm calling bulls*** with the tentativeness thing. He got squeezed mightily against Span, and then he didn't give in to two of the best hitters in baseball on a 3-2 count. Kubel always destroys the Sox, so that's nothing new. I think it's pretty pathetic by Hawk to go nuts on Danks like this and call him out. I agree with this 100%. It's total bush league for Hawk to think he KNOWS what was going on in Dank's head. John has shown he's got balls time and time again during his time in a White Sox uniform and I don't think this game scares him. He wasn't in game 163 last year, so its doubtful he was here...BS by Hawk, who is being a baby with the bad first inning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scenario Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 07:42 PM) Crede with a bad decision there, as he would have easily got Thome out at home. Oh, and I just got a call that Colon's fastball was at 84 mph yesterday. Giving him the 'ol fathom discount are you? Link Bartolo Colon's five-inning outing Thursday night for Triple-A Charlotte was more encouraging than his April 23 outing against Baltimore, according to a major league source who witnessed both outings. "He definitely threw more breaking pitches and change-ups," the source told the Tribune Friday after Colon pitched five innings of one-run ball against Triple-A Norfolk. "You could notice he was throwing more sliders and wasn't afraid to throw them to left-handers as well as right-handers." The source was unaware that the Sox wanted Colon to throw more breaking pitches. Colon was tagged for five runs on eight hits and two walks without striking out a batter in a loss at Baltimore on April 23. "He was throwing in the 88-to-90 (mph) range," the source added. "It looked like when he wanted to throw harder, he did. He was throwing more four-seam fastballs. I could tell because he was trying to raise the hitters' eye level."

Dick Allen Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 By Mark Gonzales MINNEAPOLIS - Bartolo Colon's five-inning outing Thursday night for Triple-A Charlotte was more encouraging than his April 23 outing against Baltimore, according to a major league source who witnessed both outings. "He definitely threw more breaking pitches and change-ups," the source told the Tribune Friday after Colon pitched five innings of one-run ball against Triple-A Norfolk. "You could notice he was throwing more sliders and wasn't afraid to throw them to left-handers as well as right-handers." The source was unaware that the Sox wanted Colon to throw more breaking pitches. Colon was tagged for five runs on eight hits and two walks without striking out a batter in a loss at Baltimore on April 23. "He was throwing in the 88-to-90 (mph) range," the source added. "It looked like when he wanted to throw harder, he did. He was throwing more four-seam fastballs. I could tell because he was trying to raise the hitters' eye level." Colon threw 40 of 65 pitches for strikes. He is scheduled to pitch seven innings Tuesday night for Class-A Kannapolis at Savannah. He remains in contention to pitch July 24 against Detroit. The Sox haven't decided how they will align their rotation for the start of the second half, but Mark Buehrle and Jose Contreras remain contenders to start the first two games against Baltimore. The Sox also requested waivers on left-handed reliever Jimmy Gobble for the purpose of giving him his unconditional release. Considering the velocity difference most White Sox pitchers seem to have between what they are reportedly throwing in the minors and what the board at USCF says, 84 last night seems accurate. However, he hadn't pitched in a while and was throwing 88 before and would have been fine as a 5th starter if he mixed in a few breaking pitches.

Oh, and Redmond, Blanco, Matt LeCroy, Lew Ford, Jason Tyner, Jason Bartlett, Denny Hocking and any other unidentified Piranhas I left off the list. Don't hate Punto because he sucks so bad offensively I want to see his silly slides into 1B just to laugh at him. And hating how Nathan was automatic death for us when he came into a game.
