fathom Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 01:52 AM) A lot of big names got lit up their 2nd start this year. Oh, there's no denying that, but it seems Ventura dropped the ball big time in that game and tonight is an absolute debacle of a managerial performance.

Soxfest Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 How many games are Sox going to lose over and over because Robin leaves a guy in a inning too long this is BS! Nats go no problem getting hits with 2 outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 01:53 AM) I still can't believe there wasn't bigger outrage over the fact that he was given the fifth starter job. Unacceptable Not enough fans to even care at this point I think the Sox fooled everyone into thinking Danks would be ready by the start of the season.

Chicago White Sox Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 07:51 PM) He made no attempt to get in front of it and keep it there. None. I'll agree he should have made a better effort, but it was still a wild pitch going towards the feet of the batter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Needed innings from Dylan, not mad at Robin. Taking out your starter in the fourth inning is tough business. Shame on Dylan for throwing over the middle of the plate so much. Hope this is the last we see of him this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't waste your long man for one inning last night with a minor league pitcher on the mound the next day against a great team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting with the decision to have Dylan Axelrod on the major league roster. And then batting Paulie 5th where he hasn't hit regularly since 2002...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 My god, these Nats announcers are so annoying. This must be what it's like listening to Sox games for opposing fans, except I don't feel like Hawk treats every inning like the 9th inning of a playoff game. These dudes yell about everything.

Jake Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) There are few circumstances where I pull my starter in the fourth inning before he's given up a run in that inning. EDIT: The mistake here is having him starting in the first place, and I have a feeling Robin has less say in that than we think. The GM will have a huge say in that, as well as the pitching coach. Hard to say whose vision it was for Axe to be in the rotation. Edited April 12, 2013 by Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 To top it off, Courtney Hawkins is 0/3 with 3 K's, Dunn/Flowers look abysmal and our infield defense will be an issue for the next two months. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking out your starter in the fourth inning is tough business. Shame on Dylan for throwing over the middle of the plate so much. Hope this is the last we see of him this year. We need innings but not at the expense of losing the game. We have a free roster spot and can have a multi-inning reliever as soon as tomorrow. Also, we're talking about one additional out at the most, since there was no way in hell Axelrod was coming out for the 5th. Made sense to get Santiago in there against Harper & LeRoche the next inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about facing a lineup for the 3rd time when you have bad stuff to begin with and have thrown nearly 100 pitches? You have three lefty relievers in your bullpen, but you fail to play the match-up there. Sounds like a losing strategy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
