8/29 vs Miami

[vegasbob]

He just gave up his first homer of the year. Apparently he can't pitch the 8th either.

 

I'll give Brasier a pass on the HR. He was throwing almost exclusively FB's challenging them to hit it. One guy did.

[TylerD]

Any updates on Prices arm? Another injury. Our luck down the stretch here hasn’t been kind.

[a700hitter]

Yankee announcers are talking about the big inning and that Benintendi made all 3 outs. LOL!! It will take him a while to live that down.

[illinoisredsox]

Swihart had 2 hits in the 7th. Anyone know if that goes down as a pair of pinch hits or is it limited to the first one?

X-rays were negative.

Thank god.

I still think he's going to miss a couple starts. That's going to swell up, and there's no sense pushing it.

I will take missing a couple starts over something worse.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Even though Beni was responsible for all 3 outs, he only had one official at bat. So, the SOX had 11 hits out of 12 official at bats that inning.

[d-money]

White Sox 3 outs from taking a series against the skanks. We face them next in Chicago. Should be interesting.

[vegasbob]

Up 14-6, Pom starts the 9th with a 10 pitch walk. You cannot make this stuff up. Does he get a ring and a check ( rhetorical question) ?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Unless the radar gun is off, that 93 was the fastest pitch for POM this season.

You can't pinch hit for yourself.

[vegasbob]

The short sweep of Miami was expected but if the White Sox take 2 of 3 from NYY that is a bigger boost for us, especially since we now have to go up against those Sox. Let's get out of August with another series win, please

Pom did finish quickly after the BB with a K and a DP. Good for him.

Yeah, I know. Just curious how that would be considered in, say, Baseball Reference. They do splits on everything, including by position. But the second time up, Swihart didn't have a position yet since he hadn't taken the field.

 

I suppose if I remember, I could look tomorrow at Swiahrts splits and see what they list.

Pale Hose took 2 of 3 from the Carmines (channeling my inner Hawk here) earlier this year.

I'll bet getting a second hit in the same inning as one pinch hit is a very rare occurence in BB.

[Larry Cook]

Ragged pitching by us again tonight.

 

Hopefully price is not out of action too long.

 

Good to see the bats coming alive.

[mvp 78]

Well, that explains it.

 

Even if I went into an in depth explanation, you’d just ignore it.

[FredLynn]

X-rays were negative.

 

They should do an MRI

Yeah so what? Beni’s first out came from a sacrifice bunt and he moved the runner over to 3B. It’s what you’re supposed to do there, not that they’d know that. And btw, it worked.

[Slasher9]

the real question is will he be able to play fortnite???!!!!

[OH FOY]

Don't take the White Sox lightly. They are playing good ball lately, the young kids are starting to get it. Young staff, and if this kid Eloy Jimenez hits like they project, may have a future star. We might get to see him this weekend.

They have improved in both Pitching and hitting after the AS Break. Their record is 20-18 after AS Break, little steps when you have a young team.

...and no walks that I remember. 11 runs in an inning with no BBs. Maybe a first?

Yes, the runner moved to third might not have scored from second on Holt's triple.

 

I hate sac bunts 99.9% of the time.

That cris-crossed my mind as well last night. Usually with that type of inning a team walks a ton. I don’t think there was one BB.

So, you think it’s smart game stategy to play for the ole’ pinch hit triple?

[moonslav59]

I generally hate bunt sacs. I guess, if you have a super weak hitter, who knows how to bunt, and the tying runner at 1B with no outs, maybe.
