Well That Was Different

At least now you can say I'm an equal opportunity abbreviated recapper. I missed tonight's game while sitting in a classroom. Come to think of it, I missed the Sox win last Saturday while on the road, so I haven't actually witnessed (be it on TV or even on radio) a White Sox victory since the 3-HR game against Grienke. No wonder the season feels over to me.

I was watching some clips of 05 team..

it’s seems like everyone was having fun. I mean I just feel like that team was really fun to watch. For some reason even though they won tonight I get this vibe like it’s not fun for them anymore. I think some guys on the team have a foot out the door so to speak. Even in the broadcast and radio I just feel like nobody is ever happy on this team. It’s kinda uncomfortable to watch. Back then there was this vibe you got like they could win any game. Sorry for getting nostalgic but I just really enjoyed that team and baseball in general. This has been a rough summer on both sides.

I have seen a QB and it was good.

beacuse that team played as they should have.

its a lot more fun to play at the level you can, and in some cases better than expected. they also won a shit ton of games, which is s shit ton more fun. this team is scuffling, and playing nowhere near the level that A) theyre capable and B) that they should be playing. now, when they win they still know they have to make up a lot of ground with not very long to do it.

I've been a Beckam supporter since Day 1 and think he's the best hitter on the team

but he has hit a wall. Those swings last night were tired. Beating the ball into the ground is not his game. If nothing else, drop him in the order and let AJ hit second against righties and Ramirez against lefties.

does rios play 3rd? Beckham needs some time off.

Can he get some games please? Why are they playing Rios 4 times a week and Pods 6?

I have to say my interest is waning. Team has some pieces in place but this year doesn’t look like much at the moment.

and the loss of the depth in the rotation has been a killer both at the beginning of the year minus Javy and now minus Richard and Poreda.

by madvillian on Aug 28, 2009 12:54 AM CDT reply actions  

Why are they playing Rios 4 times a week and Pods 6?

Pods has out ops’d him all year, and has been much better than Rios lately. I know Pods isn’t a good defensive player but right now he’s the better option considering we’ve been needing offense And Beckham really does need a couple days off, I can’t remember the last time he didn’t play.

Gordo's average is now down in the 270's

he is REALLY struggling right now at the plate, a couple of games off would not hurt. I think Oz is trying to wait till Getz gets back though so that he doesnt have to play Lillibridge when giving Gordo a day off or two.

.744 > .726 math is fun

All year For the year. Jesus I didn’t know the wording police were on duty. Can you actually argue that Rios is a better option or was this your gotcha moment. OMG how will I every recover from this. Did you honestly believe that I meant he had a higher ops every single day.

by comet922 on Aug 28, 2009 11:54 AM CDT up reply actions  

There's a big difference between saying he's ops'd better than him all year

then saying I really meant he’s currently out ops’ing him. If you really want to have fun with numbers, you can check his numbers when Rios came over from Toronto before he went into his current funk. They’re practically identical with Pods.

Of course, you could also say with their numbers being mere percentage points apart (or identical), that you’d want the better fielder in there. That’s just me.

Alright

I flew off the handle there a bit. But it just seemed like a confrontational statement that didn’t actually address the issue that was being discussed(Rios getting less playing time than Pods). You could have added the info from this comment and thing would’ve went different. But to say Rios has nearly the same numbers if you don’t count his bad time with the White Sox is a little silly. If you take out Pods AB’s on turf then he’s the better player. Oh well, to each their own.

and, yes, from what you wrote, i understood it as you saying pods has had a higher OPS than rios the entire season.

all his fastball zips went bye bye.

if heart won baseball games, we'd all be in the show.

yup

thats why he struck out 10 guys two days ago.

Castro ran into the dugout and told pitcher Jose Contreras, "He hasn't missed a spot all day. I think hes going to do it." Contreras replied, "Shut the fuck up."

i was being facetious based on what i hear pundits say all the time.

looking at gameday, though, you’re absolutely right. at least according to that gun, he was gassing like back in the old days, touching at least 95 in a couple of spots.

makes the Angels pretty tough to beat IMO

can't see how it hurts.

i’m rusty and lazy, so i’m not sure if fangraphs gets data from the same machines as gameday, because that outing from a couple of days ago—where most fastballs sat 93-95—is a far cry from the fangraphs 90.7 avg fastball for the season.

He has been throwing lots of pitches

because his control has sucked – lucky to go 6 innings much. And Price sure looked good today. Maybe Angels bought low, but the past 2 years might indicate Tampa sold high.

We’re a pack of a-holes. And my tradition of contributing absolutely nothing to this site... continues.

and his k/9 is by far the lowest of his career.

deal fell through.
