Soxfest Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Looking at 8th loss at home in a row. Way to drive interest in Sox baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 02:02 AM) I am so tired of 2 out hits against the Sox all FN year. Royals own the Sox. I know. Meanwhile we get a gift from KC when they throw the ball in center and we can't score Lexi from third. These things add up. It was 2-0, shoulda been 3-0. Now we are staring at a 2-run deficit. White Sox season from hell continues unless Paulie can hit a couple more bombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 So if Butler goes up the middle as well as Stone says, why was Omar (nice range there buddy) playing more in the hole? Makes little sense, as Quentin was playing very far off the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 10:02 PM) Yep, 108 pitches when he could have easily been pulled after about 80. Ozzie is just such a f***ing moron. Look there's nothing wrong with pushing him to 108, that's a good workout for him, push him as long as he can go every time out. Just understand what that last clause means...when he gets in trouble, that has to be it, pull the plug there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Peavy will come out for next inning which should be brutal. He needs to be a long reliever right now. He can't go more than 4 innings. What use is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you're actually trying to compete, the long outings have resulted in him having nothing on the mound for a few weeks after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got through 4 scoreless innings, hard to say he had "nothing". Once he got to the 3rd time through, that was it. Flowers with a BOMB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I still don't like the lean in his swing, but if he makes contact, he'll hit. The only issue is the K's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 4 K's through 3 innings, so he started the game with something. The only way I ever get conditioned to do something athletically is to do it.

The only way I ever get conditioned to do something athletically is to do it. It looked like he was going all out to start the game, as I even mentioned he seemed to be pushing himself early on and overthrowing (weird reactions by him). He was throwing 92 mph early on, but that seemed to be his peak. The issue now is to wonder if he really only be a 75-85 pitch pitcher for the rest of his career?

If he can get to 108 last time otu, then he just needs to strengthen the muscles enough to last that much every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
