caulfield12 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) Monday John Danks versus Glen Perkins. The tale of two talented lefties coming off injury problems, Danks with the blister/circulatory issue and Perkins with more troubling shoulder tendinitis and a visit to Dr. Lewis Yocum. We all know about John's problems pitching in the Metrodome. Tuesday Buehrle versus Baker Baker beat the White Sox his last start against us, but he's got a career 6.88 ERA against the Sox. Coming off perfect game, what will happen? Wednesday Bartolo Colon versus Liriano Liriano 0-3 with an 8.00 ERA career against the White Sox, 4-10 with a 5.56 ERA on the season and struggling mightily. If the White Sox were to lose the first two, we should definitely go with Contreras in this game. I can't believe Colon is in the rotation over Torres and Richard...or maybe we will start Richard SAT at home agains the Yankees? Thankfully, we don't see Blackburn. Swarzak has taken the place of Slowey. Edited July 27, 2009 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Sox need to play this like the Rays' series. Exciting give it all baseball. Enough of this sloppy crap in the Metrodome. The Twins aren't that good. Can we win Game One and take some of the heat off immediately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 The goal versus Perkins and Lirano is to take pitches, they tend to pitch around the zone, and are effective only when they can make a hitter chase. Baker is a bit different, he doesn't throw many bad pitches, the idea is to take pitches the 1st go around, and get a fair assessment of his tendencies. He's very much a pitcher who relies on varying sequences and location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I pray to god that Floyd starts the opener vs. the Yankees. I really don't want to see Contreras pitch on the only Sox game I get to go to this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to be the "bad luck guy" since the last time I speculated on the near future Buehrle got lit the f*** up, but it seems like we've got Liriano figured out for now.

TitoMB345 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Maybe a bit off-topic, but who is then scheduled to pitch Thursday? Going to the game for my 21st birthday.. anyone else gonna be there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Floyd on Friday either Richard or Danks on Saturday (Danks on normal rest, Richard on five days) either Richard, Danks or Buerhle on Sunday (you'd have to think Danks' start Monday would determine what direction they go in, although they could push back Mark, you'd have to think he would go on normal rest Sunday, and he obviously loves to pitch in the big, showcase type games against teams like the Yankees and Red Sox) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 We have the better pitching going every start (even Colon, as hard as that is to imagine). The Twins are going to score, we just better bring our bats every game. They always seem to hit us well in that park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Colon is becoming the Dewayne Wise of the pitching staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSox05 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I dig this pitching match up. I'm surprised that Perkins is pitching. He looked pretty awful his last start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
