caulfield12 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Konerko now 4/29 lifetime against Shields but no choice but to play him with our current roster. If nothing else, you'd think Konerko would take a couple of pitches and try to gave Chris Sale more of a breather, even if he's unlikely to hit Shields. Gillaspie now down into the .270's. (Check that, .286) Ramirez 0 for the series so far. Team average at .227. Edited May 6, 2013 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Walk the previous guy on four pitches? Better swing at the first pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I'm so tired of this ridiculous hacking approach. Alexei is swinging at pitches that Little Leaguers know to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the other day the Washington Nationals had a .227 team average if you took away Harper's numbers, so maybe the Sox are one star away.

Except their starting pitching (even with Strasburg ouchy) is better. And Harper might be the 2nd best player in the NL after Justin Upton. Other than Rios, we might not have another hitter in the Top 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Keppinger can't be this bad. I wasn't very familiar with him, but words like "scrappy" were used to describe him. He's seems very lackadaisical to me. He was Hahn's big move, and bust is the only word to describe him at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how many players sox trade off too as well as prospects/young players they play. But Carlos Rodon would not be a bad consolation prize.
