MHizzle85 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 09:45 AM) Ummm.....seriously, we have the lowest BA with RISP in the major leagues (.199)...and you're crowing about 3 games that we beat the M's, who perhaps are the only team who might end up having a worse offense than the White Sox??? Brilliant...the games are at home, we're not facing Cliff Lee or King Felix, but now we're clutch??? Seriously? At least the M's, though, have a philosophy, unlike the White Sox. Defense first, pitching, speed and fundamentals, just like the Twins, Angels and Rays. So KC attempts a comeback at home, they don't face Lee or Felix but they're clutch? Ah, I see how that works. *rolls eyes* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) Royals, down 5-1, actually had a comeback to tie game at 5-5 against the M's with two clutch, two out hits against R-R-S. Would be nice to see the White Sox do that more often. Rolls eyes right back. Last time I checked, those homers against SEA/Aardsma/Lowe were solo homers, not "clutch two out (base) hits (with RISP)"...(since the Royals aren't a home run hitting team, either, with the exception of Guillen/Ankiel). How many times recently has someone other than Rios done that....getting a "clutch" single with a runner on 2nd base with 2 outs in the 7th/8th/9th innings?

caulfield12 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) Ordonez with his 2,000th hit. Congrats, Magglio. Wonder if 2,500 would get him close to the HOF? Would he dare go in as a Tiger instead of White Sox? Edited April 29, 2010 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rios and Andruw both were last out of the inning IIRC, I know Rios was for sure. And Rios hit his when the Sox were down.

I think a clutch hit is a single that scores runners and moves the line along when there's two outs. Like if Juan Pierre would have done this say 5-6 times so far (base knock) rather than just once in 20 opportunities. You think it's a game winning or game-tying homer, in this case. Arguments can be made either way. Certainly some would say Teahen's game in TOR was the most clutch of the entire season.

witesoxfan Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 Uh, no, I'd say Alex Rios' walkoff was by far the most clutch. The team was down by 1 run with 2 outs, and Alex Rios ended the game with one swing. I don't think there is any arguing that. Teahen had the most clutch game of the season, but not the most clutch hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Zack Greinke is keeping up his game from last year with a 2.27 ERA & 0.98 WHIP. Of course his team & bullpen suck, so he's 0-3 in 6 starts. Lost 1-0 to Tampa & Wade Davis today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
