[Official] White Sox @ Astros

wow. terrible. strikeout, passed ball, Conger holds on to it too long, hits the batter, then run scores

 

We traded Nick Tropeano for Hank Conger

 

And now mccullers might not make it to 5 because of that.

 

Hank Conger hasn't been nearly as good defensively as I expected.

 

LMC's location on his fastballs has been turrible this game.

 

Yeah, I'm puzzled.

 

Tough run to give up.

Still not seeing how Conger was a big upgrade over Corporan.

 

agreeeeeee

Wow, that is great company there

 

Just stay away from the coke and the stroke.

 

Always thought that was a dumb rule. Why should a batter be able to
get on base after striking out?

 

lol...Luhnow must be thinking, "man would've been nice to have gotten Carlos Rodon, too bad he wasn't avai..." oh wait

 

I highly doubt he's thinking that...

 

Tropeano came up for a good start with the Angels, but has been pretty weak in AAA this year - 5.11 ERA and 1.41 WHIP.

 

Because the fielding team has to complete every play with an out.

 

No. He does not think like you do.

 

why not. he was pretty much the favorite #1 guy from the last few drafts. guy made it up to the big leagues in 1 year. throws 96 mph +. The Astros lost out on Aiken due to injury/contract issues and is going into the draft this year with 2 picks but no favorites--especially on the pitching front. On top of that, our #3 pitcher went on the DL, our slated #4 pitcher is coming off the DL, and the #5 is a big question mark.

Pretty sure Luhnow wouldn't mind slotting in Rodon right about now. Just sayin

 

Yeah you're right they have no bearing in the outcome of a game so why should fans care if they suck?

 

This thread, man.
