Going against another young "newbie". Will they make him regret his chosen line of work or make him think he has an HoF future? Should be a good shot for Johnson to get a win.
-
Some of the outs were pretty well hit including the line drive he snagged himself..Drew's ultimate problem is that if he has to pitch like a Jamie Moyer type, then he must have tremendous control to move locations around and hit it, just inside th umpire's perceived zone. That is what he can't do right now. Also his mechanics all go to hell when pitching from the stretch and he leaves his left arm( the one with the ball), way behind his body so he can't bring the pitch down and in with any force. You would think a pitching guru could walk/talk him through all that, but he may be less than trainable like some other throwers who have been out there.

Still 1-1 in Chicago in the top of 10. White Sox could use a walkoff in the bottom half to familiarize themselves with winning a little.
-
Generally agreed, and don't think it will even come up at that time, but he did get 14 outs tonight, giving up 2 runs , walks and hard shots all over. The BP gave up 5 runs in 4 innings and were teetering up to the last out.
-
Maybe this game is simply a statistical anomaly for the bullpen, but it shows a lack of focus and skill if nothing else.
-
Hell, Tyler grooved that medium FB. Nice work BP !!
-
No worries, Tyler. Sets up the DP nicely
-
80 wins??---still no guarantee of a .500 season
-
FWIW (not much) other teams must hate to see Boston coming up on their schedule. They have a way to go but it's a scary bunch. We are spoiled because the score isn't 10-2 after 5 innings. Just remember who got your first 14 outs.
-
I'm not Cora fortunately for the Sox, but my sense of humor would run Kimbrel back out there for the 10th.
-
Giles has found the rung on the ladder lower than Kimbrel. Good for JBJr ,on another 0-2 pitch
-
Don't count your hens until they lay the egg
-
to the clubhouse for coffee, while Moreland circles the bases
-
Same question as before--Why not intentional walk Beni to get at DP Moreland
-
He did
-
Ken Giles, recently fired Astros closer. At least Houston made a move.
-
But with deceptive movement on the sinker.
-
It was Jackie's fault. He couldn't leap tall buildings in a single bound
-
And that is the key to it all. A 3-0 pitch ?? How did it get to that ?
-
Loving that f'ing bullpen . Now they can work for another few innings. Kimbrel is not the closer people would like him to be lately
-
OB talking about Kelly's 100 mph FB. What other parlor tricks does Choke have ?
-
As Kimmi said, JBJr has -0- luck. But those 3 do often have to try and hit with 0-2 counts. Nunez settles it by just waving at anything for strike 3
-
Make some pre-calls on Kimbrel : I'd say 2 K's for outs, a 2 out hit, a walk and a final fly ball which JBjr picks off just before the CF wall.
-
Do JBJr, Nunez and Holt get assigned two strikes in the on-deck circle? Never saw so many 0-2 counts.
-
Pretty much, Mr. All-American apple pie, Chevrolet and no harassment claims
