Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

Gamethread: Kyle Davies

Chicago White Sox at Kansas City Royals, Jul 18, 2011 7:10 PM CDT


Tonight, the White Sox will face Kyle Davies...

...who has a 1-8 record.
...who picked up his only win on April 13, when he allowed five runs over five innings.
...who isn't even averaging five innings per start.
...who can't even throw a quality start one every three outings.
...who has a 7.74 ERA.
...who has owned an ERA above 7.00 for five straight starts.
...who has a 1.92 WHIP.
...who has allowed a .352 BAA.
...who has a career ERA of 5.64.
...who has a career ERA+ of 76 over 756 innings and 142 starts.
...who is quite possibly the worst regularly deployed starting pitcher in baseball history.

That said, if the Sox lose this one, I'm going to complain a little.

I think there’s a 65-70% chance that the AL Central will be won by the team whose GM does the best job in the next two weeks. All of these teams are flawed and fixable by the middling talent available in the market.

KC's feed said Thornton walked off with a smile on his face.

They’re just as confused as everybody.

why is ozzie coming out?

what the fuck is going on?
this is denarded. if he wanted santos to get some work let him pitch a fucking inning then. this is implausible.

Neither had pitched since the 10th

and he wanted to get them both some work?

if that's the reason

it’s still stupid.

Only thing I can think of that even sort of makes sense.

i appreciate the effort, and you're most likely correct

but i still find it bizarre.

i suppose he's not afraid to pitch santos three days in a row

and they’re off on thursday, but still.

ozzie thought they had another inning

then he realized and was all ‘oh fuck!’

I am sure the question will come up

in the post game press conference.

Am I wrong to block out my morning calendar to follow the White Sox game?

Could it be a lefty/righty issue?

then why pull thornton

when the next batter is left handed?

maybe we can start some kind of conspiracy theory

in which ozzie doesn’t want thornton to record any saves.

Ozzie thought

What could I do to get SSS to talk about something other than Dunn, Pierre, Rios, and Dayan? Hey, how about pull Thorny with two outs in the ninth and bring in Serge.

that the yankees score this inning.

think that game might still be going on

I am a big radio nerd and try to catch far away stations so I listened to 880 AM for a second (the New York powerhouse comes in good at night) and heard them talking about Texeria
