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

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,

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.

Is Vazquez back?
damn was he good tonight. Had everything working. One bad pitch - don’t get me wrong, a really, really bad pitch - but otherwise he was brilliant.
IIRC he had a decent game 2-3 games ago
where he threw well except for a couple of hitters. Then he was whacked the next 2 games. One on, two off. Let’s see how he does next game.
The Butkus year - time to knock everyone on their ass.
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.
"fortunately, i'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber."
That 3-2 pitch might have been a tad low....
but that’s what you get for a checked swing foul on a pitch high but over the plate….one thing if it’s a check foul on an inside pitch….but that was nothing short of brutal.
why don't you just mute it?

who are the beneficiaries of the cooper left-handed reclamation project?

logan? suckitude until the first half of this year.

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.

that wasn't the exhaustive list of lefties who coop has tutored since 2004.
i’m not posting all of that again. if he taught buehrle the cutter and then taught danks the cutter, great. much credit. and as to cotts, he also had two terrible years under cooper. who gets “credit” for that? or logan’s first two years?

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?
Kelly Wunsch! Fer Chrissakes! You cannot polish a turd. Kelly Wunsch! My McEnroe is rising. Are you serious? Kelly Wunsch!!

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?

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.

about who he should’ve “fixed”. And add the righties to the list. And then compare to the other pitching coaches in the majors who have had more success withg reclamation projects. And then you’ve possibly got me.

Toonder, the difficulty with looking at relievers is
accurately gauging their true talent level. Heavy regression to the mean is necessary. You would do better to gauge peripherals that stick more heavily.

so does this boil down to wu's thing that coop does ok with guys who have talent?

i have no idea, but i don't know who you're arguing against, or what you're arguing for
Coop’s legend around these parts is half-joke anyway. He’s a pitching coach, not Christ.
are you trying to use stats around here? what the fuck do you think this is? - MM
when i first read your comment that he had a solid record with lefties, i was initially in total agreement
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.
are you trying to use stats around here? what the fuck do you think this is? - MM
i know you don't have a googledoc with all of that info, but offhand looking at all of those guys now
does anybody jump out other than thornton?

The rest goes a little something like this:
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I’ve trapped
Have all become my pets
And I’m living off of grass
And the drippings from my ceiling
It’s okay to eat fish

Why did we trade Garland?
Why did KW trade Garland and keep Vazquez? Ryan Sweeney in CF and Garland on the mound would sure look good right now. Swisher has been a complete dud. Gotta give credit to Beane.

what fail tonight
i was there. I blame this loss on TOBY HALL.
Also I was chosen to compete to sit in the magic stub hub recliners. I failed, got dizzzy playing the spin the bat relay and fell on my ass epicly. I gave the medium shirt consolation prize that they gave me to some nice kid with cancer which made his day.
I guess it wasn’t that bad after all.

I blame this loss on my friend who went to the game today
I specifically remember her being a Cubs fan 5 years ago, now she claims to be a lifelong Sox fan. Zeus was not amused.
I’m quite glad I didn’t watch this one, because I spent 3 hours (line-waiting including) losing all bodily fluids watching the Dark Knight.
I was a multiple time all star throughout my little league career. Won 5 championships- 4 in a row- thats more in a row than MJ… (kenwo4life@aol.com)
