caulfield12 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) Guaranteed Hahn/Williams will go after Torii Hunter this offseason and install him as the starting CF about 5 seasons too late. HOW THE HELL was that 3rd pitch to Pujols NOT a strike? Hitting on a 3-0 count, somehow sneaks it through the left side of the INF. What is our scoring rate with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs the last month? 15%? 20%? It's supposed to be about 58%. Yay, I guess. Not that it matters, since we're looking unlikely to score against Weaver after blowing that chance. Well, eventually the luck has to change. It just might not be until the team limps back into Chicago, trailing more oil behind it than a Pinto or Gremlin.

caulfield12 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) Nice swing there by Viciedo on a fastball...just missed it. Harrelson was probably praying "stretch, stretch, stretch...dadgummit." Ramirez back into brain dead, April-May mode again when we most need him to come up with some big clutch hits.

caulfield12 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) Beckham with a nice swing on the fastball, battling to finish in the .240's. 0/3 with RISP. Hahaha. This is becoming comical. The only thing funnier would be limping into the playoffs, then morphing into the 2006/2011 Cardinals for 2-3 weeks. But our starting pitching just doesn't have the horses right now to make an extended October run. Just Sale...and he's vulnerable on the road, especially in the 2nd half.

macsandz Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 What's hilarious is if Rios WOULD have struck out earlier in his at bat it would've been a passed ball and the Sox WOULD have scored. Instead he fouled it off and then struck out. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) Crazy day when you can basically go from 100 Tigers to 335 White Sox to 700 pm Tigers again....well that's East Coast time. 414 am here in China. At least the Tigers' meltdown was enjoyable to witness, if nothing else will be for the remainder of Sunday. Just when you're about to give up on Gavin Floyd, he's throwing 93-94 and looking like a Cy Young winner occasionally. That $9.5 million option for 2013 is going to be a huge decision for the Sox. With the left-handedness of our potential rotation, and losing Peavy, we probably have to exercise it. Maybe he'll get traded if they can find another RH starter via trade or free agency. Thank god Aybar's a punch and Judy hitter. Edited September 23, 2012 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No contact, it probably would have been caught, arguably. Guess we'll never know. Probably would have taken a bad bounce and YOUK would have been gunned down at the plate, the way things have been doing since Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are few things I hate more than California. Ball carries a LOT better there in day games though, than night games with the marine layer and colder air. At least Dunn PROBABLY won't finish below a .200 average, there's that, for 2013. And his possible/potential trade value. Absolutely brutal sky/sun to fight with today...every ball hit to the outfield's going to be an adventure, like Viciedo's fly ball to Wells in LF.
