flavum Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Somebody asked yesterday what the Sox record is when they give up 4 or more runs. It's 4-18. When they give up 5 or more, it's 0-17. Sad offense. Leaking bullpen. Edited May 30, 2013 by flavum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoGoSox2k2 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 looks good.. would have liked to see Wells in for De Aza.. altho as long as Dunn is not in the lineup I am happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has done pretty well against them in the past, and it's not as if De Aza and Dunn are rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 QUOTE (bbilek1 @ May 30, 2013 -> 10:47 AM) I have no idea why Travis Wood has had so much success this year. He just keeps batters off the bases and gets contacts out. Fastball sits at 88-90, change up is lagging and slider/cutter is average. Because 1) He's stranding 5% more runners than he generally has at any point in his career 2) Only 6% of the flyballs he allows are leaving the ballpark (compared to 8.6% for his career and the typical league average of 10%) 3) He's getting more ground balls (which is an indication of a maturing pitcher and is a factor in him improving) 4) His LD% is down by 5% from previous years (which is likely not sustainable) 5) His BABIP is an absurdly low .211 (the league average is .292 and has been the 4 years he's been in the majors). Your primary areas of regression within these numbers are your LD% and your BABIP. As teams make adjustments, those numbers will start creeping towards league and career averages, and that ERA of like 1.03 will start to normalize.

Jake Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Ventura said lineup changes in the near future are not out of the question. He seemed receptive to the idea of making Alexei leadoff hitter and moving ADA down. I assume that would open up the 2 spot for Conor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ultimate lineup for the Sox De Aza - CF Ramirez - SS Viciedo - LF Gillaspie - 3B Konerko - 1B Dunn - DH Rios - RF Flowers - C Keppinger - 2B this is better known as the "Tommy Tutone Lineup" 8 6 7 5 3 0 9 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 The palehose should stick whoever is the statistically worst Sox hitter in the 5-hole. 212/277/344 (621 OPS - second worst OPS in lineup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 30, 2013 -> 12:20 PM) wow The 2005 White Sox were 13-44 when they gave up 5 or more runs. Typically, when you have a weak offense and a strong pitching staff, you are going to lose a lot of games where you give up a lot of runs. These sorts of results shouldn't be surprising. Perhaps a good sign is that the 2013 White Sox are actually outpacing the 2005 White Sox in percentage of games allowing 5 or more runs, if barely (35.2% to 34%).

Hopefully they make smart moves going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
