caulfield12 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) Konerko tailor-made double play ball. He's been in a bit of a funk for awhile now. Let's see what Stewart's got. Span's finally back for the Twins. They've been hard hit by concussions the last two years. Can't remember the White Sox lost a player to the DL for that reason.

Soxfest Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 CY Pavano .....................he has been getting hammered since break.................you know the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxrwhite Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Why is Rios playing instead of Quentin? DeAza should be in center and Quentin in right and Rios out. Quentin hits two homers last night and is benched in favor of Rios tonight? They are both right handed right? This is the kind of thing that drives me nuts about Ozzie.

caulfield12 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) 88-91 MPH so far. 16 2/3, 26 hits....and his AAA start for us was similar, 10 hits in 6.3 Slider at 85. Fastest pitch so far 92. He really needs to come up with more of a variance in pitch speed. His stuff looks fairly identical to the "bad" Jake Peavy, actually.

Balta1701 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 6, 2011 -> 07:19 PM) 88-91 MPH so far. 16 2/3, 26 hits....and his AAA start for us was similar, 10 hits in 6.3 Slider at 85. Fastest pitch so far 92. He really needs to come up with more of a variance in pitch speed. His stuff looks fairly identical to the "bad" Jake Peavy, actually. Doesn't he have a change also? Scouting reports say he will throw one at about 79. It is a bit early to be breaking in the Change if it's not your strongest pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Got Kubel with a 95 mph fastball. Definitely can dial it up a notch when he needs it, sort of typical of a combo reliever/starter. It's obvious the main concern will be adding a workable changeup or curveball. Right now, he seems to be a classic sinker/slider type, and that (having two pitches as a starter without either being plus-plus) doesn't work unless you have pinpoint control.

Again, the scouting reports say that he's got a changeup that sits around 79 that is currently an average pitch. Most pitchers wouldn't throw everything they have during the first inning, you ought to know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) 140 K's now for Dunn. Still trailing our former #1 draft pick Mitchell in Winston-Salem. Detroit already jumping out to the quick lead with Verlander on the mound, up 2-0. Looks like we're going to have to win this game or be on the verge of elimination and 7 1/2 games back. Well, Rios got a hit against Pavano, something Quentin's never done before. Please Gordon, at some point this season, go on a tear before it's too late. We've been waiting since Opening Day. And waiting... Edited August 6, 2011 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Pavano leaves a fairly slow ball over the heart of the plate on the outer half, thigh high, Rios puts his big slow swing on it and bounces it off the LF wall. That leaves a lot of parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
