Soxfest Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 That is a ball to Red Sox hitters and strikes to White Sox this is BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Ventura is going to be second-guessed on this one, too... Isn't it funny how the Red Sox can bring up an inexperienced rookie and he manages to get a bunt down successfully when we always struggle in that area with young players?

Usually baseball players learn to bunt before they hit the major leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 The previously bad corpse ball playing Red Sox, come up with the hit with RISP, the White Sox don't. Beaten by a 3 hit effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) And that was one of Carp's first at-bats of the season, I think. Oh, well...back to the drawing board. It's pretty clear nobody's going to want to have anything to do with Belisario....unless it's against the Dodgers, he doesn't pitch well under any kind of pressure.

You don't win many games when you're 0/10 with RISP. Quintana deserved better, but he put himself in that situation in the bottom of the 6th, and the pitch sequence to Ortiz was absolutely befuddling. Along with not caring what happens to Belisario, there's also Flowers and Leury Garcia on the roster. Our "bottom 15-17" players on the 25 man have to be the worst in the majors. Our top 8 or so can compete with any team in the majors. Edited July 10, 2014 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigEdWalsh Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 05:25 PM) Really?? You never know what Beckham will do there. Maybe he walks, or gets a hit.. Either way, You don't take the bat out of the hands of Abreu who gets a lot of XBH. I disagree with you 110% You don't know what Beckham will do there. Maybe he homers. Maybe he hits into a double play. But we do know he was 0-4 with 3 Ks. While I hate taking the bat out of Abreu's hands we don't know what he will do there either (though I like his chances). You never know what Tank and Alexei will do either. If one of them gets a hit, we're not discussing this. The sacrifice paid off for the Red Sox. Bottom line, I think Robin shouldn't be crucified because Viciedo and Alexei didn't come through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeky Magee Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 05:52 PM) Tell me your kidding right.... Only 58.1% of his baserunners have been stranded. LOB% is a figure that fluctuates too much to indicate that pitchers have that much of a control over it. 2009: 81.1 2010: 65.6 2011: injured 2012: 76.5 2013: 70.4 2014: 58.5 Tell me which year looks like the outlier... His ERA last year was 3.97, the year before 2.54 and this year he's walking way less hitters than he did in either of those years, and striking out about the same as last year and a bit less than the year before. Unless he starts throwing differently, that ERA is gonna come down fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPR Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I see a bad pitcher with no command and control. No matter how many fancy stats you wanna try to put a spin on.

He routinely IWs hitters to set up the double play, no matter how poor a hitter he is. Ventura is limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
