flavum Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Assuming the Sox win today, here are the records of every 40 games of the Tigers and Sox: Tigers-- 22-18 21-19 21-19 White Sox-- 16-24 22-18 22-18 3 things: 1) Starting 11-22 killed the Sox. 2) As mediocre as the Tigers are, they've been consistent. 3) Over the last 42 games, it's tough, and would be tough to make up ground on the Tigers short of beating them 5 out of 6.

Balta1701 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Flowers got that ball off the end of the bat and it went 390 for an out. He makes contact and the ball goes a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Might not be all that good at baseball, but Flowers is so strong. Didn't get all of the homer to center last night, and definitely didn't get all of that ball he just hit to the edge of the center field warning track.

flavum Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 If the Indians get rained out, they have an off day tomorrow, and then are looking at 45 games in 44 days, including 3 doubleheaders. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I don't mind him hitting it up the middle one bit. I'd rather have him staying up the middle and not hitting teh ball out...because he'll make better contact if he's staying up the middle.

I'm not complaining, I am just pointing out he is getting a little unlucky with his deep flyballs right now, hitting them to the deepest part of the park.

His base hit today was up the middle as well. I'll take it. He makes contact, he'll be a big league starter. I probably said that 2 years ago about him. Now that we're actually seeing him, it's as plain as can be, he kills the ball when his bat hits it, it's all about not striking out 200 times.

whitesoxfan101 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Paul Konerko, apparently, could put up a .900 OPS from a wheelchair. I can't believe he's still hitting this way despite being in so much pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
