Indians @ White Sox Game 2

• hoops23

  

  I can live with the homerun by Konerko, no shame in that... BUT, the WALKS are driving me crazy..
  
  Dude has only given up 1 hit, but the Sox have 3 runs.. He gave them an early lead because of his walks.. I think he has 5 or 6 in this game.

  Walks are bad. I also dont like the number of balls that have been hit hard in the air or on a line. He has gotten some loud outs, which you will have, but he hasnt countered that with many groundballs. To me, that means his pitches arent moving or deceiving anyone on the Sox.

  He wasn't ahead in the count enough to be able to throw his 2 seem fast ball effectively. That's why he didn't get many ground balls. The balls hit in the air were mostly off his slider and change up.

  Nice job youngster

  First lead of the season

  Good job Matt.

  Redmond is a bumb. How the hell did this guy get a roster spot and why the hell is Marson getting a day off already? Does Fausto prefer Redmond?
• Laley23

  

  Redmond is Faustos personal catcher. With the balls bound to be in the dirt with Carmona and all his movement haveing Marson back there mightve been a bad idea. Redmond, defensively for Carmona, is the right choice. But he sucks.
• THE4RINGZ

  

  Lefty/Lefty match up. Should be good here
• devil1197

  Redmond is Fausto's catcher.
  
  Similar to Shoppach catching for Lee (I believe?).
• devil1197

  Damn, Drubby made a good play there just to even get a throw off.
• hoops23

  

  Catcher isn't a worry, we all know Carlos Santana will be up after he's done touring.
• Footwedge

  Leave Laffey in until he gets in trouble....including the ninth.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  Man on third with less than two outs. I predict we do not score.
• iclfan2

  

  Haha you lose. Marte whatever. Don't like him but we get a run out if it.
• Laley23

  

  Marte did his job. Dont fall behind there. Get a fastball and swing and put it in play. Infield in you will more than likely get the runner home which he did.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  He tried to hit into the double play, luckily he fucked that up.

  It was also a great pick by Teahan or its a 2 run single.

  Ok maybe I will take that back. I would have jumped all over somebody last year for talking this way so soon. I didn't even watch spring training. Tonight is pretty much the first I have seen them play too. Last year ruined me and reading that up there has gave me a new outlook. I think I'm back. Go Tribe
  
  I've never wavered until this year. It's been rough....
• Cleveland Buck

  

  You've got to hit the ball in the air to get the run home. If it was a good hitter, I would be bothered by it. With Marte, I'm just happy he got the bat on the ball.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  Bases loaded, no outs. Score 1 run. That's winning ball. At least they did better than I expected.
• iclfan2

  

  2 strike outs to end the inning. This team sucks at hitting.
• iclfan2

  

  4 straight balls. Perfect.
• Tigerfan00

  

  Great play by Marte to end the game.
