caulfield12 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) White Sox at .127 BA with RISP the last 8 games. Brutal. Only way to score is solo homers, walks, wild pitches or errors. Edited June 25, 2016 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Does Albers have a chance in this game tonight? Odds aren't that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 08:07 PM) Id pull rodon now This is where Ventura gets a pass. If it's not Albers, who should he go to here? Jennings? No easy choices. Ynoa? Tulo up, 8 strikeouts for Rodon. Man, Russell Martin might finally be toast. Really fell off a cliff. Balk on Rodon. Our good friend Angel Hernandez. Cooper's pissed. Edited June 25, 2016 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 103 pitches with 1 out in the 6th. Damn Rodon is not good at getting deep into games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Cooper tossed. Now they FINALLY call a balk after he's been doing the SAME thing all freakin' night long? Really? Why not call it 25 pitches into the game to "warn" him instead of one of the most important points in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) Avila really playing extremely well this week...saved a run. But Ventura's gamble fails...crazy play there, with Frazier playing 1B. CHALLENGE? Edited June 25, 2016 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Pillar is the type of player who wouldn't have been noticed 20-30 years ago, but is hugely valuable now with WAR/defensive metrics/hustle and grit. Same with Saunders. Kiermaier/Forsythe with the Rays would be two more examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) Now you set up Albers for disaster if you bring him into the game with runners on base already. Rodon at 115 pitches. Tigers had a chance to tie it in the bottom of the 9th but couldn't come through, 7-4 Indians. 6 in a row, I think.

fathom Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Why is Albers still getting chances? Hope he proves me wrong, but definitely seems like a spot for Jennings here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxnfins Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I swear Albers sleeps with Robin or Hahn's wife.... That's why he still has a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) The only other play there would have been Jennings...I don't think we have any RH relievers we could feel confident there against Pillar. Ynoa? Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Rodon was still throwing upper 90's at that time, he wasn't gassed at all.
