Kalapse Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 06:01 PM) Aren't you the one with the stat that he converted only 50% of 1 run save ops last year? I don't think that's at all accurate. For 1.) I count 11 one run save opps and 2.) it looks like he went 7-4 with 2 of those blown saves being multi-inning save opps.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 04:05 PM) This is the 3rd 10+ HR month of Konerko's career. He had 10 in June of '04 and 12 in June of '02. More like 10 in about 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Nice to see the bats wake up. And how about Konerko? Can he keep it up? Let's hope so. As far as Jenks, I always think about what Steve Stone says every time a closer comes in with a high ERA: That number doesn't matter for closers, what matters is saves/opportunities. I suppose I agree to a point, but a high ERA is going to lead to more blown saves. I've said this before and I'll say it again: Jenks was a better pitcher when he threw 97 mph fastballs and devastating curves. He's lost velocity in favor of more pitches, and it hasn't worked well for him. I for one cringe every time he comes in for a save when the Sox are only up by 1 or 2. Finally, thank you Ozzie for finally realizing that Juan Pierre needs to be moved from the lead-off spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 11:43 PM) Naw. Remember he has to tear his hamstring for Kal to be sold on his injury prone-ness. At least he was able to go do some comic book shopping while sitting out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I yelled at them with such passion yesterday to start winning in the game thread because my frustration level had peaked to where my head was going to explode....I am convinced I have changed the atmosphere around the club house...

ChiSox_Sonix Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 07:00 PM) Can't believe Kotsay's going to get another start tomorrow, and this time against a LHP. Quentin is out and Pierre is being benched. That leaves who else to play? (I guess we could shift Teahen to the OF and play Nix but it's not like we have other choices right now) edit: actually Nix and Kotsay are probably both going to play since our bench is only 4 men. Lucy won't start (unless he's catching) and I'd rtaher have Kotsay play over Vizquel Edited April 30, 2010 by ChiSox_Sonix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 What if Quentin goes to the DL, which is not out of the question considering his history. Who would the Sox bring up? Danks2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I doubt this is a DL trip for TCQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I don't blame him from all the running he was doing yesterday. I was sore, and I was on the bench. But he's taking it day-to-day, but he's not playing tomorrow. He should be fine the next day."
