Jake Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The team is 1. Beat up, worn down and 2. Pressing Don't say they aren't trying or don't care because there are no indications of that. Playing bad =/= not trying, it much more likely means trying too hard. Trying too hard and playing bad is no thing to pat them on the back for, but I think it's silly to think they are just cowering away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Our pitching has absolutely raped us tonight. Sox should be losing 10-2, in all honestly. 11 walks now I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 10:26 PM) Made no sense at all..............I would of rather seen Axelrod. Cleveland struggles against left handed pitching...well until this series they did. Although it is the lack of any sort of hitting that is the issue.

fathom Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I believe Santiago was the proper decision to start vs an Indians team that can't hit lefties. Problem is he tried to get too cute with his AWFUL offspeed pitches instead of trusting his fastball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RZZZA Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Who the f*** is Santiago, seriously. If we're throwing rookies out there in a pennant race then I don't even know what to say. Santiago, Omogrosso, Thornton...oh boy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friend of Nordhagen Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 10:25 PM) This team has made it hard to get too upset if they don't make the postseason. Yeah, I'm not too upset because: (1) no one expected much; and (2) since about August 1, this team has been -- honestly -- one of the most boring teams I've ever watched. I'm serious about that, and I've been a Sox fan for 35 years. There's something about them that I haven't been able to put a finger on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember we'd put up 9 runs a game and have walk off winners and all that great stuff. We had a magical aura around us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They press, swing for the fence. K or popup. Then swing harder. K. Then all of a sudden when its the 9th inning. They finally get some focus and put on a threat, then come up short. That in a nutshell is whitesox baseball in an pennant race. There is no reason what so ever that we are in this position. Play medicore baseball hit the ball a bit and we are about to clinch.

kitekrazy Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 26, 2012 -> 09:22 PM) The differnce between Sox and Det are obvious.........tonight Det down 4-1 against Cy Guthrie not only tie but come back to win, Sox they would of lost 4-2. 3rd and 4th hitters are far superior. If they have slumped this year, I missed it. Their pitching is superior as well. The other parts are sub minor league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you have to ask who the common denominators have been on all of these teams. I can think of three (besides Hawk): (1) Konerko; (2) AJ; and (3) the guy who gets the players, KW. But it IS kind of the same deal every year, and you have to wonder why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasnt been as good but its been good enough. Our team just has a hell of a time consistently scoring runs. When you are 11th in the AL in runs scored in September in a pennant race there isnt a lot to say. Its not like we faced quality pitching. We have faced quite a bit of garbage and crap.

Friend of Nordhagen Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The old question has always been: is it harder to play contending teams down the stretch or teams that have nothing to play for? The White Sox answer: Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
