dyuen Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 09:47 PM) This is a much better team right now than its record says. And it will be even better soon. how is this a much better team? the offense is awful. AJ and Paulie will not be this good next year. At some point you have to recognize that its not a slump, its just bad hitters. Also, we don't have a metric ton of young talent, not sure where you are seeing that. Who do you think is so talented that isn't here? Danks? Viciedo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 QUOTE (JDsDirtySox @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 10:08 PM) Oz just said “If they give up on me, I give up on them.’’ Promises a lot of lineup changes on Friday. "What the [bleep] am I going to say? They horse[bleep]? Yes, they are.’’ via cowley twitter. I want to get very excited about this, but knowing Ozzie he'll probably just send a couple guys hitting lower up or a couple guys hitting higher/middle down.

Juding from the ENTIRE game, he better mean Dye, Rios. WHo else? And Liney. Edited September 18, 2009 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Buehrle is going to get one more start to get to 200 innings. Then he's done. Hudson and Torres will probably get a couple starts. This thing is winding down. Hopefully the Tigers win in the dome this weekend so there isn't too much pressure to play spoiler to help the Twins. I'd rather see the Tigers win the division.

greg775 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Oh no. The Wise topic will be back, cause you are right, he'll probably be in the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanne Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I didn't get to see the game until I just got home and numb nuts gives up 2 dingers...but as far as Danks...it sounds like he was dominant. Why not send him out for the 9th? Anybody?... I know somebody will go with the whole "closers job"...but the way this season has gone you just could see what was gonna happen.

greg775 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I don't know how many pitches he's thrown, but in the old days he'd have gotten the shutout. As you know, nowadays it's automatic to give it to the closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 09:47 PM) This is a much better team right now than its record says. And it will be even better soon. I can buy the defense improving. Alexei, Gordon and obviously OF looks better now. But we need an OBP jolt big time. If CQ has another so-so year the team goes nowhere. It was a rebound year from PK, a career year from AJP, Pods .....Thome was about his usual...all that and the offense still didnt get it done. The lineup needs upgrading Edited September 18, 2009 by Princess Dye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 there's no one on that bench that excites meet to see, with the possible exception of flowers. But he doesn't deserve playing time over AJ, who's earned it and then some. I wish mitchell was on the bench. That I'd like to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 97 pitches .. he could have finished and probably should have finished, but I understand why Oz would give it to Bobby. It's what managers do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH Flowers or play him at 1B if you don't want to take AJ out of the order. Plus you can let AJ DH a couple of games and play Flowers at catcher. There is no reason not to play him everyday for the remainder of the season. Edited September 18, 2009 by whitesoxfan99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 If Oz really promised a lot of changes as was in Cowley's brief item, he's going to have to play Flowers somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
