ILMOU Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 07:23 PM) What happened to everyone's assumptions about Rios' attitude and lack of passion affecting his game? Is it possible he just has some years where his bat is a noodle and some years where it's perfectly fine? Like many players. Well, yeah, maybe. In the on deck circle this year, he looks like he's just itchin' to get to the dish, instead of looking like he's bummed about missing his favorite rerun of Glee. Maybe no difference, but it seems like he cares more. Edited June 25, 2012 by Stan Bahnsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 08:24 PM) - 98% of Soxtalk 4 weeks ago First of all, he's not going to keep up an ERA of 1.25 as a starting pitcher because nobody has done that for a very long time. Second of all, he's made 6 starts. Before we make proclamations of how good a pitcher is, perhaps we should wait more than 6 starts. I love what Quintana is doing as much as you or him or her or anybody else on this board, but just give it a bit of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 We are a hard group to please, us White Sox fans. Why have a sour outlook for Quintana? Can he face another 96 guys straight without giving up a walk? Probably not. Can he continue with his microscopic ERA? Probably not. But he has shown that he can pitch, and he's done a fantastic job filling in for Danks. I'm a believer, but I know he's going to give up some runs and he'll eventually walk a guy. Let's be thankful that we had a guy like this to fill in for Danks. And, Rios, holy crap what a catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be almost impossible for him to keep up his current pace, but wow, has he been impressive. One concern I have is his next start. Wouldn't that be in the Yankee series this weekend? Maybe he has some extra nerves due to facing his former team, wanting to show them that they made a mistake. On the other hand, maybe he really does show his former team something.

CanOfCorn Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) Even with all the talk of YOOOOOUUUUUUK coming to the South Side, one should be reminded of 2 pretty damn good plays and 1 fantastic play by O-Dawg yesterday. Of course, he spit the bit in the bottom of the ninth, but he had three nice stops in the field. So here's to you, O-Dawg, I hope you can live with your IF UTIL role starting today. As an aside...Dunn is playing a pretty good 1B when he's in there. Edited June 25, 2012 by CanOfCorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 For all the people that tried to say O-Dog is an asshole, he actually seems like a pretty cool guy and is by all accounts well-liked in the clubhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjm676 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 The crow doesn't taste to bad, based on my assumptions of Rios from last year. I was at the game, and it was a great atmosphere. Let's see how Q does on the big stage of NY next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 The White Sox and Brewers played two 1-0 games over the weekend, with both games going 10 innings. The Brewers won on Friday with Zack Greinke getting the win with nine scoreless innings, and the White Sox won on Sunday as rookie Jose Quintana tossed eight scoreless frames for the second straight start. According to ESPN Stats & Information, the last time teams split 1-0 extra-inning games in the same series was 1975, when the Giants and Phillies did so. In those games, Giants starters Ed Halicki (10.2 innings) and John Montefusco (10 innings) both went the distance. Yes, I just wanted to mention John Montefusco.
