EvilJester99 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 09:46 AM) Why does an Adam Dunn multi-homer game still feel so good the next day? Let's go, Phillip, you're up. I think its because if Dunn keeps hitting this way and Rios keeps going.. this team with its pitch will be a lot better than most people think.

The Ginger Kid Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 Makes for a far more entertaining team to watch when he can singlehandedly win you a game. Sorry, I posted the west coast game time. Can a mod change the time to 3:05? Gracias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. They are getting very close to being irrelevant. I'll give them a break because of injuries, but they really don't have the horses anymore.

That offense can't be stopped. It also brings home how well the Sox pitched there. I'm glad we got it out of the way.

Can't afford to dig too big of a hole. Seriously, don't count the Halos out yet. That team easily is going to go on a roll, and the Rangers have a habit of getting off to a great start and then slowing down when Cruz/Hamilton start getting hurt.

The advantage that they used to have on spending is starting to go away, between big increases in revenue sharing, big local TV contracts, decreasing importance of selling out your ballpark every day, and the luxury tax (That Boston became desperate to avoid this year).

SoxFan1 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Overall, I'm quite happy with Robin's performance as manager, but sticking to his guns with Morel in the 2-hole is really annoying. I understand why he's doing it, but it's hurting the team at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) Has Rios even BUNTED since his rookie or second season? Ventura seems to prefer having the capability of a hitter with this ability. Not a Ramirez strength, either. AJ's pretty good in this category but you can't put a hitter 2nd in the AL in OPS there when he's hitting the ball with such authority, not when Dunn's starting to walk so much and Paulie still needs protection behind him. AJ talking loads of smack about the White Sox being back and how they have so much more confidence this year with Ventura managing them...they gave him a mike for the FOX pre-game show. Blowers and Dave Sims were trying hard not to laugh. Sounded like one of his wrestling things. Edited April 21, 2012 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Here's the link for people to complain to FOX about not getting this game. Here's the link for the MLB version. As usual, I've just sent 2 complaint emails begging FOX to put their local broadcasts on the Extra Innings package. They're renegotiating their contracts with MLB soon, so join me in begging htem to stop giving me Boston/NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) Well, at least Morel pulled the ball, lol. White Sox on 17-3 run against Seattle. Hitting .344 with RISP, versus .197 for the M's. Outhomering 33-14. Sox have only won 2 of Humber's last 12 starts. That's not so good.

SoxFan1 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Sox go down 1-2-3, Dunn finished inning with ground out on a 3-2 inside fastball. He roped a 2-2 breaking ball foul down the left field line. Really nice to see him sit back and let the ball get in deep there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 2 groundouts and a soft line out to short, Humber gets them 1-2-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Didn't realize Ichiro had 2,445 hits already with the M's. Considering he started playing there at age 29 or 30, that's amazing. He legitimately could have had 4,250-4,500 had he played his entire career in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
