DJ has had 10 at bats but they were good ones. Also, it doesn't hurt to try a different lineup when your hitting has been so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 14, 2012 -> 10:00 PM) I'm not saying start him over Dunn when Dunn returns. Just seems like while he's giving you good ABs, you might as well find a spot for him in the lineup with so many others are struggling. The person I was replying to, and who you backed up, wanted him hitting third. I won't be angry if he hits 8, but saying "wise is unacceptable, play Johnson" reminds me of the person who wanted Cutler traded after last night.

Cerbaho-WG Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 14, 2012 -> 08:54 PM) Dan Johnson has actually been outhit by wise the last couple years. Please stop, this level of backup qb syndrome is hard to watch. Hell, johnsons career slugging is only 20 points higher than wise and he had 2 15+ hr seasons half a decade ago. And Dan Johnson has averaged 66 ABs/year over the last three years. It's like no one on this board knows anything about statistics. Batting Johnson 3rd is dumb. But he should have been starting against every RHP while Dunn was out. Now that Dunn is coming back soon, the point is moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 2 walks from Dayan? Not exactly a tension-filled game yet. Need to wait for the Sox bullpen to add some excitement Tigers already won. TB over NYY 5-4 in Gotham in the bottom of the 8th, Balt and Oak start a huge West Coast series tonight. What is "Bubba Burger"? Anyone tried it? There's a new White Sox advertiser on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter of it is 3rd or 8th. and if you think hitting DJ 3rd is dumb, it is even dumber hitting Wise there. Finally nice hit by Alexei.

Those sample sizes are so small that you can't gain any insight out of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 DeAza with a REALLY REALLY lackadaisical play there in LF.... Maybe he was worried about not catching the ball, but he just wasn't setting up well at all to make the throw to 2nd. 90 pitches with 1 out in the 6th.

caulfield12 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) Great pitch by Sale there. So far, Chris has done an admirable job with RISP. Morneau has been their hottest hitter the last 2 months...needs to get the lefty out and turn it over to the pen. 99 pitches on the game. Which means Ventura will send him out to start the 7th, because, well, RV just seems to be doing the opposite of what works the last 3 weeks with our bullpen.
