Capn12 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ May 30, 2013 -> 05:04 PM) I enjoy distancing myself from Soxtalk for awhile and then returning and reading through posts by the same members (often year to year) who cannot seem to recognize a White Sox team for what it is. I don't know if immersing yourself in every pitch of every game and then coming on here to discuss it every day removes you objectivity, but it's troubling in some cases. This is not a well constructed ballclub. They will not be winning in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ May 30, 2013 -> 03:07 PM) Birmingham has some guys in the pen throwing the ball exceptionally well. Omo needs to be OFF this roster......I'm sorry. Daniel Webb...but he's still very inexperienced. We'll see him in August/September, but probably not before then...definitely when the minor league seasons end, although the Barons' season will probably be extended by the playoffs.

Look up & down the pitchers stats at the WHIP & ERAs....Very impressive. People love to knock our farm system but we have some pieces down there for sure.

witesoxfan Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 30, 2013 -> 04:02 PM) Free Santos Rodriguez He's pitched in 9 games for 14 innings and has allowed 12 walks. Don't think the control is there yet. You're better off giving Purcey a shot. QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ May 30, 2013 -> 04:05 PM) Troncoso 21 IPs only 14 hits surrendered....WHIP at 0.86. Has been saving down in AAA & he can not be anywhere near as bad as Omo. He's also only struck out 14. The nice thing about Troncoso would be that he'd throw strikes. The problem is that his strikes end up landing about 450 feet from home plate. I honestly don't care if they give him a shot, because he can't be worse than Omogrosso, but guys usually don't figure "it" out at the age of 30. I am still surprised the club is carrying Omogrosso, even if he is just a mopup guy. He's 29 years old, has gotten blown up this year, and his ERA in AAA is 5.40. His peripherals are good (about a 4 K/BB, K/9 >9, HR/9 of 0.85), but some guys don't have it. I'd like to see them use Jhan Marinez a little more as he impressed me when he was up last year, but play some musical chairs until you find one that works.

Chicago White Sox Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 30, 2013 -> 03:53 PM) The Cubs are simply a better and more talented team than the White Sox - the White Sox just happen to not be in a division with the Cardinals so they get to tease the silly idiots who think they have a chance a little bit longer. The Cubs have played the Cardinals TWICE, but please don't let facts get in the way of yet another one of your meatball theories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettie4sox Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) The Sox are still a better team than the cubs. I don't care what anyone says. The sox did not show up this series, period. They have had solid SP this entire year and Danks and Peavy implode. You have to expect your SP to do better than 4 IP. We know what the White Sox offense is, that hasn't changed. Since RV is hell bent on his s***ty lineup, it will continue unless these overpaid assholes break out of their slump.
