Jake Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 4, 2013 -> 07:17 PM) McEwing held him up as well. Adam isn't really that slow. Slow, but not anywhere near the conversation for "slowest in the league" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 5, 2013 -> 12:17 AM) McEwing held him up as well. Yeah. I think that's a good decision. He would have been out by a mile. I was just lamenting that our team is so slow we can't score a guy with two outs on a nice, deep gapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (greg775 @ May 4, 2013 -> 06:16 PM) How many season tix did the Sox sell? If Sox are 10 or more out when school lets out, will our crowds consist pretty much only of season tix holders? Maybe 1-2 times a summer families will go? Good thing they lowered ticket prices. Too bad we didnt finish off Detroit last year when we had the chances, many chances. If nothing else, it would have made standing pat or "status quo" an impossible position to defend by the F.O. With the higher ticket sales, they probably could have kept AJ (that would have been a questionable decision) or spent more on a better player than Keppinger. BUT, in a way...it might have made the inevitable LESS obvious, too, and bought a couple more years of trying to "reload on the fly." This roster needs a major renovation and injection of youth and talent. ANYTHING would be more interesting...even if they were running out the Astros' line-up, I would be more likely to care except for a few players like Viciedo, Konerko and Gillaspie. I guess Flowers...you keep wanting to give up on him and then he'll hit another huge homer and it will buy him more time (assuming that we're competing for something...otherwise, he gets the whole season, one way or the other).

Now he's on a string where the Royals have won 16 consecutive games he's started. Bad combination. It's like facing Jose Contreras in late 2005/early 2006...for those four months, he was the best pitcher in baseball. Now Guthrie's not QUITE that good, but against the White Sox he might as well be.

Balta1701 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 It's always fun to show up and read through the first two pages of a game thread when people are ripping the pitcher when you already know he's turned in 6/2 with 6 hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
