Tuesday, August 23: White Sox come to town

[Gurgi]

I am not sure Stowers takes the right route to the ball.   I need more games to decide but in a small sample size it seems he isnt totally going right to the ball.

[Roll Tide]

Cease looks like the actor that played Freddie Mercury 

[Gurgi]

Odor making Cease work......kind of surprised.

But k'd anyway.

[Il BuonO]

I’m so happy I’ve been able to watch Odor play this far into the season. 

[Moose Milligan]

Odor getting to a full count against Cease is the biggest surprise of the season.

You know what, I've noticed that once or twice too.

They check the pitchers for substances in between innings. Do they check LaRussa fora pint in his back pocket when he goes to the mound?

[Gurgi]

They cut Mateo down.   Good pitching against him.

Except he made it easy by swinging at a ball a foot out of the zone.

Funny I have not liked LaRussa since the Orioles had to play his Chicago White Sox in the  83 AL Championship game.  I remember him being kind of mouthy before and during that series.

Sundays game he didn't take a good angle on a hit and ball was passed him by a foot or two when he got there. Ball went to the wall, double.

It was good pitching because the catcher set up there.....and the pitcher hit the glove.   Mateo just got himself out for sure. 

[Gurgi]

That was a lucky hit....it was a foot and a half inside and high.   Just a flukey hit.

He’s always been that way and couldn’t cut it in a FO job, so he had to be recycled as a manager.

Voth is too afraid of pitching the fastball inside.
