Lots of errors,

a walk to the guy before the greatest hitter (in the AL) in the last 25 years, followed by starting out 2 balls – 0 strikes to the greatest hitter (in the AL) in the last 25 years,

these are things indicative of a team that is struggling big time.

that commercial is so deep on multiple levels

by shaking off ozzie but taking the mayor’s signs it shows that, in spite of employing numerous god-hating cuban and venezuelan communists, the sox still appeal to a higher power and thusly are by default good god-fearing christians. it also subliminally demonstrates that to get that city construction contract you need to be a sox fan.

the two-out walk immediately preceding the bomb not too swell, either.

but all in all, he was accountable for 6 runners in 7 innings with 10 k. should be good enough to win.

danks? if he’s the one who taught him the cutter, maybe, but shit, the guy has a history of performing really well his second go-round in a league and is only 23.

If he taught Danks the cutter, that's better than "maybe."

Considering it’s the primary reason that he’s gone from No. 5 to No. 1. And I think he also added a cutter to Buehrle’s repertoire, which extended his shelf life.

Thornton had nothing going for him results-wise before coming to Chicago. About the same track record as Gavin Floyd, so that he’s provided value for 1 1/2 years is a pretty good return for nothing.

Cotts had his only good year under Cooper. So yeah. I don’t see a whole lot of evidence, considering the extremely small sample size. Unless you want to hold the corpse of Mike Myers against him.

Thanks for the post. But Keehrist, T

Anyone other than Marte have a career elsewhere? You put Sisco on that list since he “qualifies” because he throws with his left arm?? Holy shit! Coop ain’t Anne Bancroft! If he flamed out with his guy, and someone else picks him up and polishes him up and makes a major league pitcher out of him, that’s one thing. But who has moved on to bigger and better because Coop didn’t find the key?

first, that's pretty circular, isn't it?

cooper good. guy who doesn’t pitch well for cooper pitch bad. big surprise worse pitching coach can’t make pitcher good.

that’s not even the point. the point has nothing to do with how guys have fared elsewhere (although cotts is doing pretty well for the cubs this season). the beginning was a solid track record. aside from thornton, i just don’t see where a fringe guy got considerably better under cooper. and moreover, if guys go up and down wildly in performance, as even thornton has, is that cooper’s fault? or is he only mentioned when guys improve?

I'm just suggesting that when given some talent

he does pretty well. When given absolute horseshit (Kelly effing Wunsch!) he just might fall short. But to your point – who has had good talent, then stumbled, then worked with Coop to rebound?

Thornton (given up for dead). Danks (undervalued, though after last year many wantd him traded). Buehrle (after the big contract he looked terrible, and many wanted him traded).

I think the list you exhaustively provide is more of an indictment of the dearth of lefty talent the Sox have had rather than an indiation that Coop is not a good coach. Truly (and no name calling is necessary) other than Kelly Wunsch (LOL) who should he have helped that he did not? Who has been plucked from the scrap heap (like Matty) and made a servicable pitcher where Coop could not?

ok.

good to see a guy does pretty well with talented players. why you keep bringing up wunsch despite the fact i clearly indicated he only pitched 2 innings with cooper as pitching coach is beyond me.

beyond that, i’ll give you thornton, but want to know who was responsible for his awful year last year. not giving you all of a 23-year old first round pick who has picked up his game his second season (under the tutelage of buerhle as well, who may have learned the cutter from cooper, but also enjoyed very good seasons pre-cooper and his worst season with cooper at the helm), though.

maybe in the end i am just uncomfortable with placing so much of the responsibility for success on cooper if not also going after him when the pitchers blow.

and threw in cotts and sisco as a joke response. then i went and looked at everybody and just started to wonder if i’d been duped by the media and thornton’s relative success. because aside from him (last year aside, but peripherals, i know, i know), everybody else is all over the map. good before, good after. good before, bad after. good, bad, good. bad, bad, good.

your certainty has doomed us all

i was making an offhand statement that i thought to be true.

but, if you want me to outline what i would look for:

-WU is right to say there’s only so much you can do. You need something to work with and some proxy for talent. Draft round/signing bonus is probably a good measure. Or, if you’ve got 07/08 MLB numbers, just a fastball would probably suffice

-so what we need are “correctables”, answers that fill in the statement “But for __ he’d be good/serviceable/whatever”

-some idea of what the baseline is. if X% of middle relievers flame out after Y pitches, then how does Coop do compared to that?

but really, there’s only so much to be done. work on mechanics: help them become more repeatable and make them as simple as possible. that should help control and maybe a tick or two on velocity. after that, it’s whatever you can do to improve their performance against either lefties or righties by adding a pitch or changing arm slot. oh, and well researched scouting reports.

Getting absolutely dominated by crappy Rangers pitching...

Scott Feldman? What a fucking joke. Meanwhile, the Twins have lost a couple games and the Sox can’t gain any ground. Anyone still excited about facing the Rangers?

on a related note, will say it now to take some steam out of it.

detroit scored more runs in tonight’s game in kansas city than the white sox did in their last four games against the royals.

Eh, whatevs. This team isn't good enough to finish more than 15-20 games over

Just get to 90 wins and the rest should take care of itself. I will keep repeating that to myself.

In case you missed it

Our pitching -

regressing to the mean.

Oh for the days when we had 6327 consecutive quality starts.

Actually, Vazquez pitched better than he has in a long time

Floyd pitched well a couple days ago too. That’s actually uplifting.

The bullpen does seem to be falling apart.

Announcer: [A fan] from Frederick, Maryland, wants to know why you don't go out and get some more team speed.

Weaver: Team speed, for Chrissake, you get BLEEP god damn little fleas on the bases getting picked off trying to steal, getting thrown out, taking runs away from you. You get them big BLEEP who can hit the BLEEP ball out of the BLEEP ballpark and you can't make any god damn mistakes.

to do what?

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
