White Sox Week That Was: 5/21-5/27 - Oh boy, offense

White Sox Week That Was: 5/21-5/27 - Oh boy, offense
Offense Saturday saw the White Sox establish a new season-high for runs scored with 14, topping their previous high of 11–which they set on Thursday–and two higher than their 2nd highest mark of the season (12) which they accrued on Sunday. Of the five best offensive performances by the White Sox this season, four of... Read more »

Instant Rationalization - Indians, Floyd's struggles, all covered up by an ocean of runs

Instant Rationalization - Indians, Floyd's struggles, all covered up by an ocean of runs
A piping hot Memorial Day weekend has transformed U.S. Cellular Field into a launching pad, the White Sox offense into a juggernaut, and yesterday it turned two of the AL’s best starters into tomato cans. So what real chance did struggling hurlers Gavin Floyd and Ubaldo Jimenez have? Floyd continued the erratic pitching that marred... Read more »

Gavin Floyd's struggles with damage control

Gavin Floyd's struggles with damage control
Back-to-back rough starts have ballooned Gavin Floyd’s ERA to 4.66 on the season.  Not only has every trace of his hot start been erased from his statistical record, but the 16 runs he’s given up in his last two outings dwarf the 13 he allowed in his seven previous times on the hill. Ups-and-downs happen... Read more »

Delayed Rationalization - The Twins are back!

Delayed Rationalization - The Twins are back!
If only for the night, the terrorizing Twins returned to life in U.S. Cellular Field.  Either that, or it simply doesn’t matter what state of disarray their franchise is in, Minnesota will give the Sox trouble. It certainly holds true for Gavin Floyd.  His streak of eight straight losses against the Twins would sound like... Read more »

White Sox Week That Was: 5/14-5/20 - The Cubs' series makes everything look better

White Sox Week That Was: 5/14-5/20 - The Cubs' series makes everything look better
The 5-2 record the White Sox managed this past week is right up there with the best performance they’ve managed all season.  The weekend triumph against the Cubs was the first three-game sweep since they bested the Mariners on April 20-22nd. A dominant stretch against the crosstown team covered up a disappointing moment where the... Read more »

Instant Rationalization – Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Floyd continues to master inconsistency

Instant Rationalization – Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Floyd continues to master inconsistency
If the goal for pitchers was to be as inconsistent as humanly possible—to dominate batters and make them look silly one game and then get shelled like a batting practice pitcher the next—Gavin Floyd might have four or five Cy Young awards by now. When Floyd is at his best, like in his previous start... Read more »

Time to start paying more attention to Gavin Floyd

Time to start paying more attention to Gavin Floyd
After Jake Peavy’s 6th inning meltdown Tuesday, Gavin Floyd is now the ERA leader of the White Sox staff at 2.53. Besides not starting quite as well, less attention has been paid to Floyd because there’s no hope that he’s channeled his ace form of old.   This is his 5th season in the starting rotation, and most people...

White Sox Week That Was: 5/7-5/13 - Up and down, black and white

White Sox Week That Was: 5/7-5/13 - Up and down, black and white
I can’t find the exact quote, but a player made a comment during SoxFest about the most frustrating part of last season being the inability of the team to sustain a stretch of good play.  After all, he longest winning streak of the 2011 season was five. While the Sox have plenty of time to... Read more »

Instant Rationalization - A fitting exclamation point

Instant Rationalization - A fitting exclamation point
Now that the ceiling for the White Sox season has been pushed up a notch, there’s room for them to stretch out their legs and clean up against an inferior opponent. In come the Royals for the weekend, sporting an unfavorable record but a skill set not especially well-suited to the White Sox style.  The... Read more »

White Sox Week That Was: 5/1-5/6 - Not really a particular reason to be happy

White Sox Week That Was: 5/1-5/6 - Not really a particular reason to be happy
This week saw the White Sox post a 2-4 record, while losing both series to division rivals Detroit and Cleveland.  The poor showing slotted the White Sox as firmly into 3rd place as a team can be in a mediocre AL Central where no one has played 30 games yet; they’re three games back. On... Read more »
