ILMOU Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 QUOTE (DanksFan @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 05:06 PM) there is no such thing as momentum for our sox Sure seems that way. Detroit really sucks, but they ARE lucky. The ESPN radio announcer said that both Thames and Granderson broke their bats on their hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 12:07 AM) f*** you Jenks. I'd boo him if I were at the game. Make sure you're there for the 7th inning instead of the 9th. No way he can stay in the closer role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa1334 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 QUOTE (CQMVP @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 06:07 PM) Does Jenks even have any value in a trade at this point? I can't see many teams wanting a closer that gives up base runners every time he's in to close. He walks guys. He gives up runs. Let's just face the facts. Jenks is NOT a good closer in this league anymore. He was fine when he could reach back and throw 99-100 every time he came out. Now, he's lucky to tap 95 most of the time, his hook isn't nearly as nasty as it used to be... What does he have that makes him better than, say, Thornton, as a closer? its a confidence/mental thing with him right now. he touched 97 today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeCredeYes Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 06:06 PM) Terrible 0-2 pitch call by AJ. I almost lost my mind, I never been more pissed at AJ in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Jenks was bringing it a 97 on Granderson.. just was a bad pitch. I can understand AJ's thinking though. I'm sure he thought Granderson was looking for a curveball so he tried to fool him. He guessed wrong. I don't think Coop shoulda got Bobby thinking like a true pitcher personally. I've said that for two years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I blame Jenks for not shaking off AJ who was scared to call the curve with a man on third in the 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I thought Bobby looked good, I just really dont understand how he threw basically all fastballs. I didnt see him shake off Aj either... I think that inning was because of how the game was called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 This in unacceptable. I don’t care how hard these balls were hit; it’s a closers job not to give up any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (ChiSox420* @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 06:09 PM) This was NOT on Jenks!!! A good LF makes the first catch... he gets a shattered bat single... and then makes one bad pitch on a bad pitch selection. Lets get um in the 10th and put Jenks back in for the save! I agree. Jenks threw very well today. Had some ball luck and a borderline bad pitch selection. I don't think he should be left off the hook now as he did blow a save, and that fastball shoulda been high on Granderson since Curtis likes the high fastballs.

Wise Master Buehrle Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 And we will probably load the bases with nobody out and fail to score. This series has been too reminiscent of earlier in the season. Plus a bad bullpen now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa1334 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 06:09 PM) Sorry, but this wasn't a meltdown. f***ing Podsednik was playing in Ontario, Thames broke his bat in two, Granderson hit a ball hard but in the infield. On the other hand, Jenks's stuff actually looked good. Maybe he just needs 4 days between appearances. Oh, if Paul Konerko or Carlos Quentin would like to arrive in Detroit at some point, I'm all for it. Especially Quentin. yup. i understand u should win these games, etc but since the break (not including the 1st game) were averaging 3 runs a game. sorry, but thats not guna cut it. not in this league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky Mark Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 The control he has over where a bloop goes is the same control as to how an infielder fields a ball. All the can do is keep a batter from 1) making contact, 2) making solid contact and 3) hitting a fly ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
