Toronto Blue Jays at Chicago White Sox, Sep 9, 2008 8:11 PM EDT
Unfortunately, I don't know what happened with the first game, since I'm flying for business this evening, but here's the game thread for the night portion of the non-doubleheader. The pitching matchup features pink, round, and efficient vs. the large lefty Clayton Richard for Chicago. Let's go Jays!

Hopefully a more efficient inning from Jesse this time

how spent is the bullpen?
I didn’t see the game this afternoon, did AJ go deep?
by SuckaMD on Sep 9, 2008 8:41 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Certainly a better start to this inning
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 9, 2008 8:44 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
A more efficient inning than the first
but Jesse isn’t setting himself up to go deep into this game.

41 pitches through 2
but only around 10 of them came in the second, so if he avoids another inning like the first, he could do decently
by SuckaMD on Sep 9, 2008 8:51 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
15 in the second, actually

hopefully won't need much pen then
although I guess it matters a little less now with expanded rosters

That ball just died when it hit the wall
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

19 pitches that inning, and he gave up the lead
so not only is he not likely to work deep, but we’re not likely to want him to.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

Leading off with 1 pitch outs won't help
we’ve done it a few times already.

Wells lucky that Ramirez bobbles the popup

Litsch gets out of the jam with a soft liner
but another 18 pitches.

One pitch into the inning and we haven't made an out?
It’s a miracle.

Scoot didn't do bad that first at-bat.

1st career homer vs. White Sox
Gee, maybe because he spent his career in the NL? Not a helpful stat.

And Johnny Mac follows up with a bloop

So much backspin it bounced right back to Ramirez

The power of the bunt single

A lot better than bunting into a force.....

He got it down the line
Gives the runner more time to advance
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 9, 2008 9:27 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Maybe he did
but it’s tough for the ump to see, so you have to sell it

oh that was sad....rios should have made it back to first

Rios shouldn't have been off first base to begin with

Yeah I can't imagine what he was thinking
looks really bad for konerko

Rays ahead of the Red Sox.....
Jamie said the Yankees have been out of it for a long time……….but would he say we are out of it?
by Tom Dakers on Sep 9, 2008 9:40 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
They're out of it because they have Ponson and Rasner in their rotation
We don’t have that problem.

Would be nice to get ahead of the Twins then we'd only have to catch one more team
by Tom Dakers on Sep 9, 2008 9:44 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
If we sweep the ChiSox we're tied with them
Which means we don’t care much about the central any more.

Not a big fan of the IW when you are down 3 already.....wouldn't it be be better to get Rolen and start the next inning with Mac
by Tom Dakers on Sep 9, 2008 9:49 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Only 1 out

11 pitches
I say shut him down now and use him on short rest for the Saturday doubleheader.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

Yeah I would....not sure if Cito will....
by Tom Dakers on Sep 9, 2008 9:59 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well he's already talking about Doc starting on short rest
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 9, 2008 10:01 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
that's really short rest
only 2 days in between starts
by SuckaMD on Sep 9, 2008 10:10 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Doc would be starting on Sunday against Boston
so that’s 3 days
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
by Torgen on Sep 9, 2008 10:11 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
oh
thought you meant starting during the double-header on Sat.
Do we really need to be doing this? Does Cito actually think we have a chance at the wild card?
by SuckaMD on Sep 9, 2008 10:11 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
If we sweep this series
then our chances at the wild card are pretty much exactly our performance against Boston. If we’re 0-3 in the series going into Sunday, then Doc probably doesn’t start, although that might be a Cy Young thing too.

Hmm, he was warming up, and then he didn't come in.

So a 9 pitch inning for Litsch?
I guess a good call sending him back out, then.

The first one was more of a bloop
the second one much harder hit. Good thing there’s plenty of room for error.
