Honestly, Don Cooper identified when he was tipping his pitches. They saw it a few years ago, and once he figured out how ro consistently deceptive with his windup, he was much better.
He was completely showing what pitches he was going to throw. When he paused and grabbed into his glove for too long, he threw his forkball. When he had little delay, it was a fast ball.
i think he struggled alittle early on with location, but he was till tipping his pitches.

tipping or not, he was behind 2-0 3-1 on most batters

yes, exactly. Because they were laying off of his pitches until he showed the fastball. Again, he struggled with location, but if you know hes throwing down and away, the you wait for fastball down the middle.
Two years ago, he would take close to one minute to throw between pitches if it was a fork/curve, and 20-30 secs if it was fastball.
he didnt answer my original question of how many playoff losses do the twins have since 2001..
It's okay Frank, I understand that your team will stink up the south side (moreso than usual) this season and you need to spend your time thinking of ways to bring down the Twins. If you think the White Sox have a better chance to win the World Series this year than the Twins, you're sadly mistaken.
the sox do. sox have better starting pitching. twins are banking on unproven guys, and that stellar bullpen of thiers is gonna get burnt out early. and dont give me any lines about that "powerhouse" twins offense i was reading about in the other thread. we all know that pitching and not playing singles into inside the park HRs wins postseason games.

Wrong like usual. The only thing uglier than Contraras' face is his pitching.

They didn't lose Frank, they were humiliated.
Although we beat a poor team and the Indians are an above average to very good team.

Hahahaha, I like the last one!
Gotta love the dude in the Contreras jersey. That'll probably be the last one worn after yesterday's game.
OH SNAP!!!!

(which will most likely happen this weekend)
Honestly, I know you are jsut trying to get under Franks skin, but this thread is really intended to be FOR the WHite Sox, no?
Here to die.

Hey if he stays out of ours, I'll stay out of here. It's all part of the fun though.
OK then. The White Sox stink.
