Lineups, questions about

[southside rocks]

Nathaniel Whalen covers the Sox for the Daily Southtown and has a blog; yesterday on that blog he answered some questions with his opinions about why Ozzie structures lineups the way he does.

I found Whalen's comments interesting, particularly the one about why Ozzie starts his bench players so much. Here's the link if you'd like to read -- it's the "Questions Answered" blog entry:

I sure have a problem with this statement from the article:
" First off, Thome is seeing tougher pitches because no one wants to face Konerko with a man on base."
If that's the case then he'd be seeing more fast balls and more pitches over the plate because pitchers wouldn't want to walk him.
