September 12 Red Sox @ White Sox

[jung]

Blue Jays over Birds, 22-7. We could eliminate the bottom two teams in each league for a total of 4 and never miss them.

After which touchdown did the Jays go for 2?

[illinoisredsox]

How do you not get a triple on that?

How do you not catch it and still call yourself a CFer.

I agree, but once it got past him …

[vegasbob]

I want Schwarber back next season. Power and plate discipline. Other guys can learn from him.

 

Plate discipline vs Kimbrel, try again

[illinoisredsox]

Schwarber has been absolutely putrid today.

[jung]

I agree, but once it got past him …

 

Not only did Robert misjudge a ball that you have to catch in CF, he is just a bit too giraffe like and goofy to be playing in CF. Looks a bit like it would look if the Red Sox but JD in CF....parish the thought. Surprised Robert didn't crash into the wall and knock himself out trying to pick that up after it got past him.

 

So yup...seems like 3rd would have been a possibility.

When it comes to plate discipline, it appears Schwarber is learning from the other guys.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers is overdue for a delivery.

[illinoisredsox]

Devers needs to relax here (fat chance). A base hit is all they need.

[moonslav59]

Don't swing at this guy's wild pitches. We can walk in the tying run by taking every pitch.

[vegasbob]

the post All Star general decline , especially compared to the pre A-S games is as much on the hitters as any pitching shortcomings. Add the Covid impact and JDM's sore back and it's been weak

[jung]

I would say Kimbrel three days in a row is not working out for genius Tony.

[vegasbob]

Kimbrel knows the Sox suffer with the bases loaded, he is just setting up the DP

[TylerD]

Bases loaded. Let’s go !!

[vegasbob]

Dugo gets the run, nice situational hitting

[moonslav59]

I would say Kimbrel three days in a row is not working out for genius Tony.

 

Not if we never swing!

 

I'm serious.

 

No way he can throw 3 strikes before 4 balls.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Dugo! LaRusso went to the Kimbrell well too often.

[redsoxrules]

Sox should of scored way more runs there. Kimbrel was s*** and couldn't hit the strike Zoe

Dalbec passes on a cookie pitch and swings at the low outside breaking ball . He has improved but that wasn't an example

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The White Sox will probably have a week before the PO's to rest their players.

[vegasbob]

One problem with tied games in the 9th is that the home team has potentially 6 outs available to your 3 .

[vegasbob]

Nice, 0-2 pitch down the pipeline

[vegasbob]

If you score 1 every 9, don't feel bad when you realize you are the f***ee in that dog pile

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another big hit off SOX pitching on an 0-2 count. Unforgivable and please take the fork out.

[vegasbob]

As Whitlock was winding up, I was thinking, this is the perfect spot for that low breaking slider which MUST be swung at. Who called that FB in that 0-2 count ?

Meh. You want bad at bats, take a look at Schwarber all day today and throughout the Chicago series.

Agree completely. This is on Plawecki, whom I regularly defend/tout.

Much to Max's disappointment it wasn't VAZ.
