Series Thread: Rangers vs White Sox 8/4-6

[Bmurph]

here you go: On revocable waivers the team can continue to play the player until a team claims them and a deal is made to move the player to said team.

Lots of teams will put a number of players on revocable waivers after the trade deadline in case some team offers them a deal they can't pass up on and then they can still trade those players in August. Yankess also placed Gardener, Drew and Prado on waivers as well. Doubt they move any of them as they are still in the WC hunt.

Swear....just don't get it.....In scoring position and yet wants to get the 3rd with "how many outs?"

Would have been able to score on a sac fly from 3rd. (since there was only 1 out).

 

[Bmurph]

Save Mendez for the 9th, don't want to see Feliz today in another 2 run game. Tep is pitching well

 

[Bmurph]

Shut up Buzz

 

[RevSader]

That ball was stung. Right on cue...third time through.

I don't like the steal of third unless it's a double steal.

The dreaded 6th inning for Tep. How does he handle it today?

As we said a few minutes ago......"It's nut cutting time Nick."

Tep is auditioning for long relief/spot duty the way he's pitching

 

[RevSader]

Seems really counter intuitive from Wash's teaching stuff. He left Martinez in to give up the lead.

 

[RevSader]

Apparently Nick is on a pitch limit that I didn't know about...

1st batter: CB-S, CB-B, CU-B, FB-Foul, CB-B, FB-S (single)

Having trouble locating the curve/change for a strike

2nd Batter: FB-S, CB-S, FB-Out (flyout)

3rd batter: FB-S, CB-S, FB- Foul, CB-B, CB- Foul, FB-B, FB-Foul, FB-S (Strikeout @ 93 MPH)

4th Batter: FB-S, FB-S (Double)

Double came on a pretty good sinker that dove down and in, Ramirez just got good wood on it... somehow

Think he would've been better off trying to fool him with a changeup there though

11 Fastballs, 7 Curveballs, 1 Changeup <=== there's the key, he's too predictable, he needs to be made to throw his changeup more

In all due respect....I know this. Don't make an out at 3rd in this situation IMO.

Especially from a guy who is leading the world in getting thrown out.

Well not when you start to go, then stop and start back and get basically no jump at all. Gotta pick a better spot

I was about to type throw the change next and then the sinker in the sequence before he hit the sinker into the corner but hell what do I know

I was wrong and Mendez got Abreu, still don't want to see Feliz

 

[jta4437]

It was a good sinker and all but the hitter 1/2 knew what was coming and he guessed right

Tepesch has to work on not being a 2 pitch pitcher

 

[jta4437]

Rosales the ChiSox Slayer

 

[RevSader]

lololol Rosales...

 

[Bmurph]

Holy shit Rosie you hr hitter

 

[jta4437]

Good day to give Roogie a day off for Rosales apparently

 

[donaldson79]

From jta...........11 Fastballs, 7 Curveballs, 1 Changeup <=== there's the key, he's too predictable, he needs to be made to throw his changeup more

That seems to be the train of thought from the team - RW/Maddux - so why isn't he doing this?

They should tell him, "I'm calling the pitches and if you don't execute those pitches.....your ass in in Frisco before the fucking sun goes down."
