6/1/16 Game Thread - White Sox @ Mets

Some Ventura decisions that will be second-guessed.

 

Not walking Rivera to face deGrom, although the pitcher actually walked (and Rivera's a poor hitter historically)...but the Mets' announcers were surprised at the time. And deGrom, even though he looks like a righty version of Sale physically, can actually hold his own as a hitter.

 

Having Abreu running with Frazier (obviously not a contact hitter) batting.

 

PHing Sands and pulling Gonzalez out of the game with only 85 total pitches...exposing the back end of the bullpen

Seriously.....our bullpen now has like 60 walks in 50 games!!!!

 

There's one guy in the pen right now than can hit 95 mph consistently with his fastball. Lots of nibbling these days.

Atta boy, Todd.

 

17th homer...leading the majors.

 

They'd been consistently busting him inside so he stepped into the bucket and made an adjustment.

 

Sitting on that pitch..."waiting in the weeds." Smart hitter.

Zach Putnam has been quietly very good for most of the year.

 

He was even better in 2014.

 

This season is something in between last year and 2014.

 

 

Lagares is playing kind of lackadaisical defense in CF for someone with his reputation...he played Shuck's ball earlier into a hit and got a death look from deGrom.

Wasn't he bad on defense last year after an incredible 2014?

Uh-oh.

 

Duke warming up. Not the words that you want to hear, but we have no choice but to use him I guess. Ventura would get ripped for using Purke, so there's no way not to be second-guessed with bullpen decisions.

 

 

Saladino can be a hero again today...nice swing, hit the ball too hard and almost right at Conforto.

 

Rollins will be the PH if it gets past Avila to the pitcher's spot.

Makes sense with their lefties
