Daniel, Again


For the second time in a week, Daniel Palka of the White Sox struck out in bunches before hitting a meaningful homerun.  Four strikeouts on Sunday in Tampa before the eventual game winner, three times at Guaranteed Rate Whatever last night against the Indians before a walk-off shot for a 1-0 win.

Palka basically repeated what he said Sunday, “I just went back to my old routine, and I kinda forgot the first 8/9ths of the game and made 1/9th of the game count.”  A one-and-two count, a homer to the opposite field—what else could you ask for?

A call-up of Eloy Jimenez, perhaps.  But we wouldn’t want to get ahead of ourselves, now would we?
