CanOfCorn Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 QUOTE (sunofgold @ May 27, 2012 -> 04:22 PM) DAng, MANto can fix 'em! Really same hitters as last year. Overall so much better. He can eventruth a .300 hitter into .400 hitter. Bravo, bravo! I hate you for starting this thread... /green??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Manto was on the Score today. Haven't heard it yet, so I'm not sure if he had anything worth listening to. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/?podcast_url=h...mp;dcid=CBS.CHI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Manto basically said that Konerko's success is a product of all the work over the years with Greg Walker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 One thing Hawk pointed out that is true about this year that the White Sox seemed to struggle with in the past is to foul off good pitches as opposed to weakly putting them into play.

Bubba Philips Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 31, 2012 -> 03:06 PM) One thing Hawk pointed out that is true about this year that the White Sox seemed to struggle with in the past is to foul off good pitches as opposed to weakly putting them into play. i was just thinking about Jordan Danks I know not too much written but it seems that if it was just for his fielding he'd be playing in the bigs but I've noticed his strikeout rate remains unchanged high while his average is creeping up. FUkodome has been used sparingly in the lineup. Unless some injury occurs I don't see his playing time increasing. I was just wondering if under Manto's tutelage Jordan could cut down on his strikeouts and add a little power to his swing. It is not like we have a lot invested in Fukodome and RObin doesn't seem to have a lot of faith in his bat. Would it be worth it to bring up Jordan to play in our outfield and perhaps give fukodome a chance to play on some other team; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunofgold Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 Offense still solid. Da Sizzle has worked out well on the two spots. We also have to have guys 1-8 who can go yard. MANto stil eventruths it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunofgold Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Four runs and ninth hits and seven walks and one HBP and one IBB through 8 innings out of a lineup full of bench players and players who sucked in 2011.
