that is not a scary lineup.
not saying they won’t beat ours. just saying I’m not afeared of it.
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
Quinlan kills Buehrle
otherwise that would be a ridiculously weak infield… I couldn’t even pick Brown or Rodriguez out of a lineup

So far he has shown he has read the scouting report
Use the breaking pitch, aka the devils pitch according to Walk.
Breaking pitches and changeups scare sox bats.

Adenhart has 25 walks in his 37 IP above AA ball
Wonder how many he walks tonight?

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
solid, but not dominant

I guess Q didn't want to come home with his throws...
He must be a little unsure how to deal with all the mancrushery they would bring.
Both throws were way up the line.
Must be thinking about hitting.

no, DS has a lot of games for everyone...
brain training game is pretty cool.
We could use Swisher to heat up.

correct!
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Best is when Farmer says something like

I would rather have Uribe back at short and Iguchi,
no matter how grindy/tough OC is…
Do they have a heater in the dugout?
Pitching and defense.
mark can only get outs when he doesn't have the lead
apparently?
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
Ball in the dirt, 5 bounces to paulie
“As Cabrera did that intentionally,” says DJ. And they were all over Uribe for bobbling both DP balls while going easy on OC’s misplay. How about just covering for both or admitting they both suck instead of playing the marketing game.
defense, fundamentals and hitting is really, really bad this year.
Crede and OC’s defense is bad already
OC I have no argument, but Crede? He had the throwsies the first couple weeks but since then he’s been rock solid.
Agree on Crede.
Even OC had been much better the last few week—hopefully today is just a case of showing off for the ex-girlfriend.
do you mean to say that he's not going to play well the rest of the year?
because otherwise i don’t see the value.

I'd load the bases for Cabrera
.212/.235/.288 with the bases loaded in his career.

What's wrong with Buehrle?
Entering tonight, his defense converted 65% of balls in play into outs… After allowing 8 hits on 19 balls in play so far tonight, the defense has converted just they’ve dropped to 64%....

He'd probably be better off giving up more flies.

it's one minus batter's BABIP, right?
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
pretty much
errors screw up the equation though—but since they’re not crediting them in Anaheim tonight it makes no difference
AIM: SouthSideCheat
how do errors screw it up?
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
defensive efficiecy is literally balls in play converted into outs
while BABIP is balls in play credited as hits
What’s the difference between reaching on a single or an error? not much, but enough to make the numbers not 1-the other related..
AIM: SouthSideCheat
really/.
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
So, I'm starting to feel that Uribe has outplayed OCab this year
part of it is that I expected more. but still
Sure
He’s so fast he just runs the ball over to first

bootcheck worked around doppleganger1 and then came after doppleganger2.

You're forgetting about his leadership qualities.

Crede needs to start keeping some balls in his pocket...
I’d rather see a man on first than a man on third.
Crede needs to
rip off O Cabs balls and put them in his pocket.
I dont know what his win shares is, but Im guessing its about -12.

Now that Buerhle has gotten paid
its more fun to make the defense feel guilty than to pitch over errors.

10 hits in 5.2 innings. You rock, Buehrle.
Wassermann in to give the Angels a few more insurance runs.
Did you watch the game
or were you too busy coming up with more witty nicknames?

All pitchers need to pitch over errors...
Buehrle hasn’t seemed to be able to do this in his career.

Up 3 - 0 and then as Lloyd Bridges used to say in that classic "Sea Hunt,"
“And then it happened!” : (
Pitching and defense.
I guess we enter the part of the program where...
...our hitting is getting us 4 runs or so a game but our pitching/defense can’t hold a lead.
this is why I hate these late west coast ballgames..
Sox play like shit and I look like shit the next morning
He will settle down and realize how bad the Sox are...then
it’s just silence between the two.

Thome, who LED THE TEAM IN BATTING AVERAGE last season, is why we’ve lost this game…

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
One person taking a dump in a thread is bad enough
but when we get two, I start getting defensive….
But I guess I’m a “PAULIE lover” because, you know, I think he’s the Sox best option at 1B and don’t really understand why batting Pierzynski 3rd would make the Sox a bettter team…

it would be helpful to those worried that the season is gonna end up as bad as last

Unless you’re expecting an extra-base hit every time from Quentin, I don’t get why you’re bitching about him.
Actually, I fully understand why you’re bitching about him. I can’t quite understand why you spend so much energy on something you can’t control, though.

Decent offense, bad defense. Decent pitching, no offense. Decent offense, bad pitching.

ugh.... that was, ugh....
predicted the blood-letting to my buddy each time the defense sputtered behind buehrle. it was hilarious that the angels put on a clinic in situational hitting after OC whiffed on his bases-loaded possible game-breaker at-bat. i would have loved AJ coming up big in the 9th (he still gets booed ridonkulously every at-bat out here, consider the grudge held), but it didn’t happen.
it was torii bobblehead night, though.
