i really hate floyd more and more

 

[Capt. Serious]

Floyd is trash

 

[DewsSox79]

need some runs

 

[Capt. Serious]

Alexei will be fine, my ass. It's closing in on mid June & he's hitting below .215

 

[TheChicagoFan]

I think the pressure on Alexei will start to add up only if the White Sox stop hitting the ball.

Notice: you didn't complain while the Sox were in their hot streak because they were winning.

And during that streak he was alright. Losing helps because it brings out the real problems in the team. Now we see that there are some holes in the lineup that don't really need to be there. Alexei can hit. He's just not doing it.

 

[TheChicagoFan]

Jesus Christ Floyd. Throw some strikes and stop them from scoring fucking runs. I'm tired of this shit.

When does Sale pitch again? Oh good. Soon.

These feelings is why I would be worried about Sale long term. The track record of guys jumping more than 50 innings of workload at his age is far from good, and if he stays healthy and pitching as well as he had it might be closer to a 100 innings.

 

[TheChicagoFan]

Whoa. Two innings that Floyd got through without giving up a run. It's a miracle.

Obviously it's not good that he's the only pitcher pitching well because eventually they are going to shut him down.

But right now he's what I look forward to.

I understand that you look forward to it, but I am not certain they shut Sale down. Are they really going to take him out of the rotation down the stretch if they are still in the race? Your pitching coach certainly seems to scoff at any of these notions.

Now would be a good time for Ramirez to get a hit.

I think that towards the end of the year they're going to slow him down. Maybe take some starts from him. That's if they are still in the race.

They're going to want to use him in the playoffs so they're gonna slow him down towards the end I think. If they don't, that's a huge mistake because he's so young.

 

[TheChicagoFan]

How about getting some hits when there aren't two outs?

Are they going to be able to do that if a team is within a few games all the way down the stretch?

 

[TheChicagoFan]

Shit Floyd.

 

[DewsSox79]

thanks again floyd for another shit start

 

[DewsSox79]

this is why we wont make playoffs.

 

[DewsSox79]

10 homeruns in last 5 starts. awesome

 

[Capt. Serious]

Floyd is the man

 

[TheChicagoFan]

Are they going to be able to do that if a team is within a few games all the way down the stretch?

I don't know. It's a big issue. And I don't have the answers. I'm curious as to what they will do.
