Luckily Alexei is so talented he got away with that, because if he would have missed it he would have been the goat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Bella's ERA up to 5.79. I have no idea what it is if you only include his closing appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Fireworks Man Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 27, 2014 -> 09:05 PM) Conor is not a 3rd baseman PERIOD! Don't worry, we have Matt Davidson waiting in the wings. He may not be any better defensively, but he can't make contact either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Welcome to the closer role, Petricka. You are obviously the latest who will be giving it a try. Bella is done for that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 27, 2014 -> 10:22 PM) Bella's ERA up to 5.79. I have no idea what it is if you only include his closing appearances. Just quickly, he's given up a .960 OPS in the 9th inning and a sub .500 OPS when used 6th-8th. His ERA in the 9th is 9.22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) After the way things have been going, you almost expected to lose that one. Not even really a sigh of relief. Pitchers are afraid of the defense making mistakes behind them, and the entire team doesn't trust the bullpen to hold a lead. The perfect storm. A bit difficult to build a winning/attitude culture at the major league level when there's such a lack of trust. One can only hope that Hahn finds a way to find a more reliable closer before 2015. Another hope would be that we don't put all our faith in Nate Jones, assuming he actually pitches in August-September and looks pretty good.

caulfield12 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 27, 2014 -> 08:42 PM) Homers matter: 0 homers: 6-28 1 homer: 12-11 2 or more: 19-5 I wonder how many times the White Sox have lost games they had 4 or more homers? It almost happened tonight. The Belisario "hold/non-blown save" is the most ridiculous statistic is baseball. He gave up a homer, got one out and gave up two more hits and he's somehow rewarded for 3/4 hitters reaching base or scoring.

greg775 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Dunn is hitting .230 with 12 homers and 33 rbis. To me that's blah. My guess is he's some sort of modern day hero according to his advanced stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is he's some sort of modern day hero according to his advanced stats. 0.3 WAR. Not even close to good. He's on pace to be well an average major leaguer this season.
