One wonders...
how many weak grounders and pop-ups we need to see from Paul Konerko before they just put him on the DL already.

Edwin Jackson is well known as a guy with control problems.
So what do the Sox hitters do?
Cabrera – swings at two of three pitches he sees
Pierzynski – swings at two of three pitches he sees
Quentin – swings at one of four pitches he sees
Dye – swings at three of three pitches he sees
Guess which one resulted in a hit?
by The Jerry Royster Experience on May 29, 2008 6:20 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
well, it can't be the first two since they're the same, and three hacks is more likely to result in a hit than one, so i'll go with dye.

All kinds of splits like that
Can be found in Baseball-Reference.com’s Game Previews in the batter v. pitcher tables. For this game, that preview is here. That’s a very useful tool, BTW. It is succinct and contains all of the key numbers. I print it out whenever I go to the ballpark.

but Carl Crawford steals a lot of bases. If he steals second, there’s another man in scoring position and there’s no chance for a double play. Keeping Crawford at first is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT in this situation.
