fathom Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 QUOTE (Butter Parque @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 02:43 AM) Thornton still gave up single to Gonzalez, and then Reed came in and gave up a bomb to lose the game. I know it's all the fallacy of the predetermined outcome but the game was still far from over, especially with Thornton on the mound. I'd love to see the spray chart for AGon's grounders this season. Despite the DP situation, it seems like the Sox gave him way too large of a hole between Konerko and Beckham. You could see AGon's swings in that AB that he was trying to hit it right where he ended up hitting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without looking up stats its safe to say we've had the least productive bench in the majors this year. By far. Save Hudsons walk-off, they haven't done a damn thing all year.

I'm really hoping the Sox aren't one of them. It wouldn't bother me if they didn't make a move. Edited July 20, 2012 by kitekrazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OilCan Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 QUOTE (59th street @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 09:36 PM) Quintana has been unbelievable. Truly a shame to have this happen a second time in @ a month. ...but; this is baseball and strange/bad things happen over the course of a long season. This one really hurts but it does NOT end the season. The biggest culprit in my opinion has been our lack of offense. SOX have beaten Verlander 10 times. There is a lot of baseball left to play and we have been a very gritty team. Now is not the time to overact to the emotions of a very difficult and unpleasant loss. GO GO WHITE SOX! And the Sox are still in first place. It's a miracle season (so far) with what's been going on right. Let's see how the boys do in Detroit.

caulfield12 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Evoking memories of Quintana’s eight scoreless innings that went down the tubes against the Dodgers in Los Angeles on June 17, manager Robin Ventura went to his bullpen with another 1-0 lead only to watch his pen fail. That time, general manager Ken Williams questioned the move. Ventura stuck to his guns and to his bullpen this time, calling on lefty Matt Thornton with lefties Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez batting first and third in the ninth. They sandwiched singles around what could’ve been a double-play ball to rookie third baseman Eduardo Escobar but was only a force at second because of a low throw to Gordon Beckham. After Gonzalez’s single, Reed entered to face Ross. “It was supposed to be a fastball away, and it sailed over the plate, and he got a good piece on it,” Reed said. “It’s unfortunate. [Quintana] threw his butt off, and there’s nothing else he could have done. He did everything. It sucks that we didn’t come out with a win.” Ventura considered staying with Quintana, a lefty, to face Crawford to start the inning, but Quintana had to extend himself in the seventh and eighth innings. “You can go back out there with him, but you are eventually going to go to those [bullpen] guys anyway if he gets in trouble,’’ Ventura said. “So you go to the guys who are fresh.’’ The Dodgers game did cross Ventura’s mind. “Yeah, it is similar,’’ he said. “But he did his job, and he got out of some tough spots. So that’s my call: to take him out and bring somebody else in.’’ According to Elias, Quintana (2.30 ERA) is the first pitcher since 1900 to have three scoreless outings of eight innings with a no-decision. He had no objection to the move. “That’s the manager’s choice,’’ he said. “It’s one of those that this is going to happen. It won’t be the first or the last time.’’ Daryl Van Schouwen www.suntimes.com/sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the reason this has never happened before for 112 years. A lot more rare than a perfect game, what has transpired with Quintana in only 10 big league starts.

Get's old... Modern baseball. Protect the starters; let your closers close; blah blah blah. The worst thing that coulda happened is Q blew the game in the ninth like our relievers and 3Bman did.
