Killing time before the game starts...

Not that I give a rat's behind about the Yankees, but...

The legend goes that Wally Pipp got injured, Lou Gehrig replaced him and Wally never played again, right?

Baseball-reference.com shows that Gehrig debuted on 6/15/23 and ended up playing 13 games that year. He played 10 games in 1924. Finally, in 1925, he played 126 games, the same year Wally only played 62 games. Wally shipped off to Cincinnati the next year, while Lou became the starter.

So, he was actually called up a couple of times before he got "his big break."

Will we be saying the same about Uribe and Cintron in 50 years? Only time will tell!

by tailgater on Jun 8, 2006 4:28 PM CDT reply actions

Are you serious?

In case you are, I don't see this as a Pipp-Gehrig situation. It's more like "Alex Cintron got a couple of hits".

Cintron: age 27 career OPS .728
Uribe: age 27 career OPS .725

...and Uribe is vastly superior in field, at least IMO. So, I don't think any gets Pipped here.

Yep...Anderson's got to produce,

but I can't say I agree with how sparingly he's been used in the past, what is it, 3-4 weeks now? Rick Hahn on the Score today talked about how the organization hasn't lost confidence in Anderson, but they're worried he may have lost confidence in himself. Well, it's got to be difficult to gain confidence, and a rhythym, when you are used sparingly for so long. If they are to send him to AAA, at least give him a week of consecutive starts to give him one last chance to prove himself.

by chrome on Jun 8, 2006 4:58 PM CDT up reply actions

Agreed

In fact, I'd go longer than a week. Tell him he's the starter until the ASB. Tell him 5/6 starts a week and see what happens. I'll trade his black hole like offense for his defense.

by wsoxfan72 on Jun 8, 2006 8:41 PM CDT reply actions

Perfect illustration

Of how BA's defense prevents runs that Mack's defense costs us. Is Mack really worth one or two runs per game on offense? No. I understand that they're worried about BA's psyche with all the struggles he's having at the plate, but if you just tell him to go out there and play defense and let the hits come later, it would probably be a lot better than sending him down.

Of course, Garland always blows it when things go wrong behind him, too.

by larry on Jun 8, 2006 8:49 PM CDT up reply actions

Seriously...

It's like the Sox created a problem when there wasn't one. The offense had never been a problem.

Even if it is problem now, with people not hitting as much, Mack's career .730 OPS doesn't solve that problem and in NO WAY makes up for his atrocious D.

By the way, Mack's career OPS vs. Lefties is .488.
And Guillen said he would play against lefties today. It's going to worse than BA.

by hitlesswonder on Jun 8, 2006 8:56 PM CDT up reply actions

the quasi-platoon began

by my count, after the fight in the cubs series. it didn't start off too badly - we lost the last cubs game but swept oakland - but then it went to hell. could all be a coincidence, but we're .500 since it began. likely to go to 8-9 after tonight's game.

Focus Missing from Last Season

Mack obviously blew both plays in center in the 6th, but two other things about that inning are worth noting. First, what is Kong doing looking at the umpire after picking Uribe's throw out of the dirt when there were two outs and a fast runner going on contact? If you don't hear the ump call the runner to first out, shouldn't you take the safe route and make the throw home anyway? And secondly, after all these years Garland still can't seem to realize that he has to start over after a couple of crappy plays behind him and that being down 4-2 is a hell of a lot better than being down 6-2.

by Toonderstrook on Jun 8, 2006 9:16 PM CDT reply actions

yup

obviously you can't get into player's heads but i can't imagine that there weren't a few guys out on that field who were still thinking about what mack could have possibly been thinking. there's a reason mistakes often come in bunches. a guy makes a mistake, other players tell him to forget it when they maybe should be thinking about the next play, the guy who made the mistake is still thinking about the last play he messed up and makes another mental error, etc.

the sox last year didn't let one mental mistake occur and so avoided that slippery slope.

by larry on Jun 8, 2006 9:20 PM CDT up reply actions

One more Mack comment

And while I recognize that Mack has maybe contributed mightily to a loss or two, he hit Street's first pitch for a 2 run pinch homer to tie one of the Oakland games. Oh, and let's not forget BA's poor play on Sunday--running toward the dugout when Iguchi caught the SECOND out of the inning and then failing to back up Pablo despite the fact BA knows Pablo is liable to make an awkward dive out there.

by Toonderstrook on Jun 8, 2006 9:20 PM CDT reply actions

So what you're saying is

Used properly, Mackowiak is a nice player to have.

Mack is a solid bench guy whose glaring weaknesses are usually hidden when a manager needs to give a regular a day off.

He needs to stop getting regular time in CF

AIM: SouthSideCheat

by The Cheat on Jun 8, 2006 9:38 PM CDT up reply actions

Mack

Especially against lefties. So much of me wants to say, put BA out there and tell him to play D and the hits will come, but I've got to think at some point he would be better served by going down to the IL and socking the ball for a few weeks to remember what solid contact feels like and to remember how to work a count and not always be defensive in the box.

by Toonderstrook on Jun 8, 2006 9:42 PM CDT up reply actions

yeah

but will the sox be better served? we're playing some darn tough teams this month. and the ball is going to start carrying more at the cell because of the weather. we're going to be playing teams where one mistake/one great play could be the difference in a lot of games. mack's defensive frailties are going to be magnified. he better get on one of his hot streaks at the plate.

by larry on Jun 8, 2006 9:46 PM CDT up reply actions

You might be right

but I can't remember the last time a full-time starter on a contender was hitting under a buck sixty. He can't even hit lefties right now, let alone tough righties. Then again, as I look at the upcoming schedule, I don't know that we're going to see too many of those until St. Louis.

by Toonderstrook on Jun 8, 2006 9:49 PM CDT up reply actions

And BA tied up a game off Guardado

So I guess they're tied for late inning heroics.

Anecdotes aside, the bottom line is that Mack is a mildly better hitter than BA. He has a career .730ish OPS. And a career .488 OPS against LHP. And there is absloutely no comparison between the two in CF.

Making Mack a starting CF is a terrible idea. I think a few more starts against lefties will make people see that. Just play BA until they trade for someone. Playing Mack instead of Anderson is still a net loss for the team

by hitlesswonder on Jun 8, 2006 9:28 PM CDT up reply actions

those errors were nothing compared to mack's

running in early? c'mon.

mack made two mistakes with the ball in his hand. i put those above failing to back a player up and getting poor reads/jumps on balls. you can be an outfielder without much range or arm - mack surely is that and plenty of guys have long, good careers doing that - but don't make things worse by doing stupid crap when the ball is in your glove.

by larry on Jun 8, 2006 9:32 PM CDT up reply actions

No doubt

I absolutely agree that BA is a superior outfielder. My comment was meant as support for the idea that BA's head isn't really in it right now, probably due in part to (a) not playing regularly right now and (b) having terrible at-bats.

by Toonderstrook on Jun 8, 2006 9:37 PM CDT up reply actions

i dunno

those seemed like pretty small errors to me. i mean, kenny rogers was running in early today. when you're at a game, you usually see a player do that at least once a game - it just usually doesn't make TV. and the backing ozuna up? it looked to me more like he was tracking the ball as well and slowed up to avoid colliding with ozuna and just didn't get behind ozuna.

by larry on Jun 8, 2006 9:43 PM CDT up reply actions

BA

I have season tix but am stuck in the office tonight and couldn't make it to the game, and I hardly ever see guys forget how many outs there are. Surely not once a game. And the not backing up Ozuna thing...happened a play later.

by Toonderstrook on Jun 8, 2006 9:46 PM CDT up reply actions

true re: ozuna play

maybe i exaggerated a bit - and the guys don't usually take thirty steps towards the dugout - but, upon reflection, i'd say i see a guy lose track of outs (or pitch count) once every other game i go to. watch the corner guys (or not, because this really isn't something to watch for).

by larry on Jun 8, 2006 9:51 PM CDT up reply actions

Frustrating...

Garland was sooo close to pitching a very nice game, 7 Ks against 1 BB. Even giving up 4 runs, with his D letting him down, it would have been a good outing if he hadn't given up that homer to Thames.

Kong

Mack's laziness with Rodriguez tagging from first cost us a run for sure. The throw home allowing Guillen to make second was a bad move, but is Paulie so beloved that nobody wants to take him to task for his brain fart in waiting to look toward the plate as Guillen came home standing up? That from our Captain?

Guess I have my answer...

by Toonderstrook on Jun 8, 2006 9:58 PM CDT up reply actions

he should have looked, no question

i'm also wondering why no one was yelling at paulie to make sure he knew he was going home. that's probably either cintron's or AJ's job. maybe they were and he didn't hear. paulie's primarily responsible but i'm not completely absolving everyone else on the infield either.

by larry on Jun 8, 2006 10:03 PM CDT up reply actions

Maybe it goes back to your earlier comment

about these mental errors snowballing and everybody being a little bit guilty. I also have to say that there is no excuse for Mack or Paulie's mental errors period. They have each been playing this game for over two decades and are paid ridiculous sums of money as PROFESSIONALS. Professionals don't need motivation from managers or other players. Professionals don't need someone to remind them that with two outs and the opposing team's arguably best baserunner on second that he is going on contact and will be rounding that bag hard on the way home. I don't know about the rest of you, but if I needed motivation from other people every day or constant reminders about what my job entails, I wouldn't be around long.

by Toonderstrook on Jun 8, 2006 10:09 PM CDT up reply actions

well

i think you're being a little harsh. i can't think of many people who do their job without having some sort of motivation from others. and professionals shouldn't require constant reminders of that to do; however, i don't think most of our jobs are as fast-paced and chaotic as baseball. it was paulie's mistake but that doesn't mean that others on the field weren't doing their job as well. i'm sure most of us have played organized ball and communication (and back up) is essential.

I'm especially worried about Saturday

because you know everybody's going to put the ball in play against Buehrle. Sunday the Rangers were peppering the gaps, etc. With Mack out there it could be a long afternoon. Not to mention I can't see him doing anything against Sabathia. I hope tomorrow night we have a chance at Mack not killing us because Javy strikes out some guys and C. Lee is struggling something severe.
