Princess Dye Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 All this "mentally weak" stuff about Gavin is such garbage. He's an OK starter, not amazing. I don't see why an interesting narrative has to be created about each particular guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Son of a b****. Good defense screwed us out of a tie game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 02:44 AM) Just remember we played this game without 2 of our 3 regular left handed hitting starters. Feldman's handled lefties this year, it's righties that have crushed him. With that said, it will do wonders for this team to get AJP back in the lineup to balance it out.

fathom Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) There's one player on the Sox that I think struggles with the mental aspect of the game, and it's not Gavin. It's the player who everyone predicted would fail in his new spot in the batting order, and he has. Edited July 30, 2012 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noonskadoodle Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Eh tough loss & not a way I wanted them going into Minny with the was the Twins r playing. But let's take care of business & hopefully Bucholz & Beckett can give the Tigers fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 02:50 AM) Thornton is worse. Thornton's situation isn't that rare though. There have been a lot of relievers over the years that were better suited for the 8th inning and didn't have a closer's mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Sucks to lose a game in the standings, but overall, this was a fantastic week for the White Sox. Just need to get everyone (besides Danks) healthy ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
