6/30 White Sox (Garland) at Cubs (Marshall) @ 1:20 CT WGN

I don't get the IBB. Sure it sets up a force, but Anderson can't hit anything.

 

Dusty loves the IBB almost as much as Neifi

 

That's because walks can't hurt you. Only hits can.

 

That's the funny thing; according to the manager, walks kill us when our relievers give them up in late innings; they always come around to score. However, it's for the best that our hitters stay aggressive and swing at whatever comes flying toward the plate, no matter what.

 

Yes....the legend that is Dusty.

So 1st base is open and we pitch to Uribe, but put Anderson on base. Dusty is awesome.

ANDERSON HAS A HIGHER

 

ON BASE PERCENTAGE

 

THAN JUAN URIBE

 

WHO CARES ABOUT HIS 177 AVERAGE, HE'S HITTING BETTER THAN URIBE.

 

Uribe 677 ops

Anderson 581 ops

Ummm, he's getting on base better not hitting. You pitch to him chances are he's not going to hit it he might walk because he's patient but they didn't even try to get him out.

 

Who gives a crap if his OBP is a bit higher anyway? It's still only 271.

[CuseCubFan69]

Well the IBB put the OBP just a little higher.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Jacque strikes out to end the inning. On to the top of the fourth.

[Brian]

yup, I called the 1st being the end of the offense.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Well the IBB put the OBP just a little higher.

 

And that's the only way it's going to get higher.

[Mizzou]

yup, I called the 1st being the end of the offense.

You really went out on a limb there, didn't you?

For those of us who can't see the game or hear the game; can someone add the score to decrees of the end of the inning? ;)

4-2, jerkwads.

 

EDIT: By jerkwads I mean Sox, not you.

Infinity to 2.

 

ok...White Sox 4-2 top of 4

[Brian]

i'm thinking about starting a pschic hotline.

Good money in that i hear.

You shouldn't have to think about it -- you should already know if it'll be a success.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

2 outs with Konerko at the plate. Not sure how. I had to step away sorry.

[Brian]

how about some more 2 out walks

[Ding Dong Johnson]

2 outs with Konerko at the plate. Not sure how. I had to step away sorry.

Inexcusable.

But there's no difference between an intentional walk and a regular walk here. Batting average is the only factor to consider (aside from bunting, potential for sac flies, etc) when you're thinking about an IBB.

Marshall has thrown 77 pitches already.

 

Apparently he's been talking to Zambrano more than Maddox lately.

[cjbucks]

Konerko draws a walk.

 

If there is one person in MLB who could clog the bases Konerko is that man. I think he is pulling a plow behind him.

For some reason the White Sox don't swing at every pitch like the Cubbies do.
