Ramirez not with one of his better at-bats.

 

This offense really feels like the one we had in the late 80's.

 

 

By the way, they need to have Melido Perez Bobblehead Day. Just to recreate the soul-glo (Coming to America) look of Eriq LaSalle (Dr. Benton from ER), haha. Now I would go to a Sox game this June/July for THAT.

 

As it is, I'll be in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, The Congo (saying hi to Dikembe Mutombo and Ben Affleck), South Sudan, Rwanda and Ethiopia. Thanks White Sox for not making that a difficult decision.

 

I'll be the first, or one of the first, SoxTalk posters from Africa....theoretically.

Didn't realize Pettite had 79 career wins saved by Mariano Rivera. Wow. 250 now total.

 

His son (Pettite's) also drafted the same day he picked up another victory. Must be a proud papa. (Never hated him quite as much as some of the other Yankees like Paul O'Neill).

They really need to work with Santiago on his offspeed pitches. He just doesn't get those pitches over enough or fool enough hitters. The screwball sounds cool in theory, but it's just not very effective.

Could be the reason they want him in the pen right now.

But that's the problem. He can't get a feel for his secondary stuff in the bullpen.

 

He's not as comfortable pitching out of the stretch, and he typically settles down in innings 3-4-5 when he would already be out of the game as a reliever.

 

Let's just put it this way. He's a lot more likely to discover himself as a starter at the big league level than as a reliever.

 

 

 

Dunn with a terrible read. Not the best baserunner, and certainly not the speed or burst to make up for misreads, either.
