fathom Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 06:22 PM) Not only that, but our bench has been exposed this week. That Escobar mistake was a huge one in the 9th the other night. The bench has been shockingly bad all year. Escobar's been good on defense all season though.

kapzk Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 QUOTE (Caesar @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 02:22 PM) Detroit is just better than us. They played way below their expectations and now they are playing like everyone expected. As for us, maybe we played abouve our heads and we are seeing the true 2012 Sox. No We haven't played above our heads, do u forget that the White Sox still managed a 79-83 record last yr considering the yrs Dunn, PV and Rios had.

You can make an argument that if we had a healthy Danks, it'd be closer. However, they've been without Victor Martinez, Smyly, Fister (their 2 starter, arguably), Albuquerque, Austin Jackson...health is not an excuse for the White Sox.

fathom Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 06:22 PM) Worst Sox bench I can remember. Outside of not coming into the season with a back-up 3rd baseman, I thought the bench would be a strong point for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detroit will cool off again, and the Sox will go on a run. You just have to hope it doesn't get out of hand before those things happen. Who knows, maybe Cabrera has a bottle of rum after the game and Fielder has a serious gout attack and they go back to mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caesar Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 01:19 PM) I've been advocating putting Rios 3rd, but that wouldn't do much to help out since ADA and Youk aren't reaching base. Beckham should be benched, but do you really think Hudson can provide a spark? Not likely Honestly, let Escobar play second. I'm just tired of the Beckham experiment. He isn't mentally tough enough to play at this level. I have nothing to back that up, just my opinion by watching him play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villareal has been quite the find for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
