Pierzynski, Eddings Combine For More Controversy
The circumstances were slightly different, but the principals were the same. AJ Pierzynski, who seems to invent new ways to be reviled by opposing fans, found himself in the middle of yet another bizarre late-inning controversy with his good buddy Doug Eddings, once again culminating in a White Sox victory.
With the game tied in extras, Pierzynski started the Sox half of the 10th with a routine single. It was the last routine play of the game. On the very next play, Pierzynski caught BJ Upton giving a lackadaisical effort--what are the chances?--on Carlos Quentin's deep fly ball to center field, and was able to take second base on the speedy, strong-armed, though not always game-aware, young center fielder, setting up the controversial play.
Jermaine Dye hit a routine groundball to short, the type of ball that should cause a runner on second base to retreat back towards second. Needless to say, Pierzynski did not retreat. He charged towards third on contact, and didn't reverse course until he saw Jason Bartlett fielded the ball cleanly in front of him. He tried to stay in the ensuing rundown for as long as possible to allow Jermaine Dye to get himself into scoring position, but Dye is slow, and Pierzynski saw an opportunity. That opportunity was named Willy Aybar, Tampa's 3B, who continued to run alongside and eventually passed Pierzynski after he got rid of the ball. Watching over his shoulder Pierzynski saw Aybar release the ball and continue towards second. As soon as he sensed Aybar about to pass him, he stuck out his elbow, gave a little fake turn, and stumbled to the ground as he tried to change directions.
Pierzynski fell to the ground pointing at Aybar, now nearly at second base, and Doug Eddings, who initially called him out, joined in the pointing soon after. Eddings had called interference. Pierzynski was awarded 3rd, Dye 1st, and the Sox still had just one out. On one play the Sox went from what appeared to be a 2-out, runner on first situation, to a soon-to-be (after an intentional walk to Jim Thome) 1-out bases loaded situation, all because Pierzynski had his head in the game.
Although it didn't seem like the right call at first--I know I thought AJ got away with another one--crew chief Ted Barrett defended Eddings call after the game.
"What Doug ruled at second base was, even though A.J. did kind of stick his arm out to make contact, Aybar was still in his way, so A.J., if he would have turned, he wouldn't have been able to continue on to third," said third-base umpire Ted Barrett, who addressed the situation after the game. "So after making the throw, Aybar is no longer in the act of fielding and he can't obstruct the runner, which is what Doug ruled happened.
"In a rundown, even though A.J. was going back to second, the rule of obstruction during a rundown is he gets his next advanced base and that's why he was rewarded third base."
In addition to the obvious parallel, this was the second bizarre play involving Eddings this season. He was also responsible for Thome's first steal in a White Sox uniform.
As for the game itself, let's just say it was another game with the Rays. Even though the Rays own the best record in the AL, these two clubs are very evenly matched. Heck even their injuries are similar; while the Rays were missing their 3B, LF, and closer this series, the Sox nearly matched them with their 3B and primary set-up man on the shelf. In 10 games this season (Sox are 4-6), the Sox have scored 37 runs to the Rays 35, with 3 games ending with walk-off hits. Sox starters have out-pitched Rays starter, but not by a huge margin, while Rays relievers have out-pitched their Sox counterparts, though again, not by a huge margin. The main difference between the two clubs has been the Sox complete inability to hit with 2 outs, especially with Runners In Scoring Position.
It looked like that trend would continue Sunday, but at the last possible moment, with 2-outs and a 3-2 in the bottom of the 9th, Paul Konerko would change everything. His pinch-hit single, which plated Brian Anderson from second thanks to a gutsy send by Jeff Cox and an assist from Shawn Riggans, was the first 2-out RISP RBI of the year against the Rays. Let me repeat that, because I don't know if it's clear how futile the Sox have been against the Rays with 2 outs and a runner 180 feet or less from home (.036/.069/.036 entering Sunday's finale). In the first 90 innings against the Rays this season, the Sox had exactly one 2-out hit with RISP, and that hit didn't even plate a run.
So yeah, it was a damn fine wave home by the sure to be wrongfully maligned Jeff Cox. The Sox had an opportunity to tie the game, and he took it. It didn't look pretty, and he needed a poor play by Tampa's catcher to come out smelling like roses. But, hoping for back-to-back 2-out hits with RISP didn't seem like a winning proposition for a team who managed just two such hits in 10 games against the best the AL East has to offer.
Alexei Ramirez had the game-winning hit, which was overshadowed by AJ's play and the unlikely end to the season long 2-out drought against the Rays.

That was a huge win...
It was pretty questionable — Cox got big-time lucky on waving BA with Riggans having him dead to rights but dropping the ball and Pierzynski pulled another Dennis the Menace trick out of his hat but the Sox did legitly tie the game up in the bottom of the 9th. I watched the replay of the Pierzynski play and A.J. quite simply did it again — I can’t believe he coaxed that call. Pierzynski simply stuck his elbow out and then fell down like a NFL kicker trying to draw a roughing the kicker call. Is Eddings a Sox fan or what? Maybe an A.J. fan?
I also have to question the stupidity of Maddon IBB’ing Thome to get to Ramirez. I know Thome is a Hall of Famer and you get the force at every base but I think Thome is more likely to strike out or GIDP in that situation than the guy hitting over .300 and who also has speed. Alexei’s swing-happiness was countered by the fact that the bases were loaded so it’s not like the pitcher could risk throwing him all junk outside the zone. Weird move in my opinion.
I was able to catch the rest of this game and before I left for a family party, I was pissed to see that the Twins were beating the Angels 3-1 in the 7th inning. It sure was nice to see that the Angels came back and won it when I got home. Keep losing, Twins.

The Godfather -- Alternative Cast:
1. Don Vito Corleone: Ozzie
2. Genco Abbondando (Vito’s 1st, best consigliere): KW
3. Michael Corleone (flawed and tormented protagonist): Paulie
4. Sonny Corleone (exciting, dynamic but goes down early): Crede
5. Fredo Corleone (sure he’s family, but weak and stupid): Pods
6. Tom Hagen: JD (class act, loyal, most consistently reliable member of the family)
7. Clemenza: Uribe (obvious)
8. Luca Brasi: AJ (the family badass)
9. Tessio: Legend (smarter, more effective than Clemenza but falls due to disloyalty)
10. Connie Corleone: BA (The prettiest Corleone)
11. Kay Adams Corleone: Buehrle (most sympathetic member of the family)
12. Frankie Pentangali (excitable funny guy, occassionally inconsistent but ultimately loyal): Jenks
13. Al Neri: Thome (big guy, enforcer, loyal, doens’t say much or ruffle feathers, the ultimate soldier)
14. Rocco Lampone (quietly effective but uninteresting family enforcer): Danks/Freddy/Garland
15. Paulie (guy bumped off by Clemenza in “leave the cannolli” scene): Ozuna
16. Carlo Rizzi (Connie’s husband; vile traitorous villain): Erstad
17. Mama Corleone (link to the past, doesn’t say much): Harold
18. Johnny Fontaine: General Soreness (most famous Corleone, but not real useful)
19. Enzo (baker who helps Michael protect Vito): Cotts/Polite (indispensible, but very briefly)
20. Don Barzini (boss villain): Gardenhire
21. Don Tatataglia (seemingly main boss villain, but not as dangerous as Barzini): Leyland
22. Sollozzo: Punto
23. Captain McCluskey (Sollozo’s bodyguard): Morneau
24. Hyman Roth (boss villain — best days behind him): Eric Wedge
25. Moe Green (meh boss villain): Hillman
26. Don Tomassino (Michael’s protector in Sicily – old guy): Contreras
27. Don Ciccio (old Sicilian boss who kills Vito’s family before he comes to America): Tom Kelly
I need someone for Jack Woltz (the studio boss who wakes up with the horse’s head), but can’t think of anyone who fits (Pinnella was the closest I came). Q!, btw, is Coppola.

How are the Sox going to approach tonight's first game?
Have they mentioned who is going to ‘start’? Furthermore, what are the rules as far as the lineup is concerned — if Q started in the three spot in the original game, does he have to start there tomorrow? Because if he doesn’t, I’d love to see Ozzie use Q, Dye and Thome as his top three, hoping for a homer to end the game quickly.
Also, do we re-obtain Pablo and Nick Masset for just this game? I certainly hope so.
by CWSKeith on Aug 25, 2008 10:38 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
the game is continued. can't change the lineup order.
at any rate, quentin will leading off the 12th anyway. carrasco or thornton is who is scheduled to continue. all but jenks from the bullpen are available to pitch. griffey and getz are available. ramirez was taken out so not available.

by larry on Aug 25, 2008 10:45 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
for additional clarification, here is the box score from the game.
quentin was still batting low in the order then so he’s leading off in the 6th spot. crede would be next, followed by BA and then uribe who replaced ramirez. obviously crede needs to be replaced. dye did not play so he would be available to pinch hit but i’d posit that it’s more likely that getz hits for him and goes to 2b while uribe slides to third (if there’s a 13th).

Thornton will likely start it off...
The first three batters due up for the Orioles are Kevin Millar, Aubrey Huff and Luke Scott, who are left-handed. That makes Thornton, a lefty, the likely candidate.
Sucks that the Sox have to face three of their best hitters who are all a threat to homer but gotta win this one.

And you know what? He should get all the calls in his favor, just for knowing the rules of the game, and capitalizing when others aren’t paying attention.

Matchup: White Sox (74-55) at Orioles (61-68), 7:05 p.m. ET
Probable Starters: Clayton Richard (20 IP, 8.55 RA, 1.75 WHIP, 15 K) vs. Chris Waters (90, 6.20, 1.17, 72—Triple-A)
Pythagorean Record: Chicago, 75-54 (672 RS, 561 RA); Baltimore, 64-65 (664 RS, 669 RA)
Hit List Rankings: Chicago, #4; Baltimore, #17
Prospectus: Before this contest kicks off, the Orioles and White Sox need to finish a game that was suspended back on April 28. At that time, the O’s were 14-11 and the White Sox 14-10, and MVP candidate Carlos Quentin had hit his sixth homer of the young season. The game was suspended after the 11th inning’s conclusion, when both teams had scored one more run to prolong the evening. The White Sox should have won the game much earlier, as they stranded 14 baserunners during the course of the game against the Orioles’ three, and wasted an excellent eight-inning effort from Javier Vazquez (one run, seven strikeouts, one walk). The significance of having this game’s outcome pushed to today is that the White Sox are just half-a-game up on the Twins, and have a chance to gain as much as 1½ games on their rivals if they are able to wrap up the extra-inning game as winners and then take the regularly-scheduled clash as well.
As for the highlighted Preview game, the White Sox send Richard against an Orioles lineup that’s hit very well during the second half. While Richard has performed well on the K/BB front—he has 6.8 strikeouts per nine and just 2.3 free passes per nine over his five appearances in the majors this year—he’s given up an eye-popping 30.7-percent liner rate, which explains the .395 BABIP he’s allowed. There are obviously small-sample issues if you try to draw much from those figures—he has thrown just 20 innings in the majors—but the thing to watch for is whether or not he’s too predictable, either in strategy, or perhaps due to tipping his pitches. As a guy with a sinker and a high-80s fastball and no dominant offering to put hitters away, anything that helps the hitter is going to cause fluky stats, like his 52 percent strand rate and unsightly BABIP.

i thought he can get the fastball up to 92 or so
and while he may not have a dominant pitch to put hitters away (how many pitchers do?), his 6.8 K’s per nine is just fine, as they note.

"Plate"
“His pinch-hit single, which plated Brian Anderson from second . . . . In the first 90 innings against the Rays this season, the Sox had exactly one 2-out hit with RISP, and that hit didn’t even plate a run.”

Yup
AP style for home run is “home run.” Not homer, blast, bomb, dong, etc.
It took them decades to drop the hyphen from “teenager.” Email is “e-mail.” It’s not website, it’s “Web site.” They play it safe with just about everything, especially stuff resembling slang.
So it isn’t smart for non-paper blogs to adhere to AP style if they want to be known as relevant, immediate, etc.

I don't know if the Times is the best way to judge.
They still call people “Mr.” and “Mrs.” upon second reference. They play by their own rules.
But I have a couple of books with old baseball stories. They sure like their local nine, their clouters, their batsmen, their fireballers, etc. They wrote with a lot more flourish — remember Grantland Rice’s craptacular “Four Horsemen” lede?
I bet the media didn’t ratchet it down until the ’50s or ’60s.

you might not have been the only one who wanted jones,
but i’m fairly certain you’re the only one who took kenny’s lack of interest, and the inference that rowand would be a better player than jones this year, as proof that williams is a moron. (and when jones went on the dl after playing like absolute shit, you still said he’d end up having a better year than rowand when he was healthy, iirc). that’s what i’m talking about. the griffey acquisition was puzzling at best and probably much worse. but it’s as if you expect him to never miss. anything else = moron.

two weeks earlier...
But it proves that Kenny is even dumber…
than most people think.
Let’s assume that Kenny is still convinced that the White Sox can compete in 2008, which seems to be a good assumption. Apparently, Kenny thinks that Rowand would be a better acquisition than Jones to compete in 2008. My main point is that Kenny is a moron and this proves it.

And anyone want to trade places with the last 20 years of Royals/O’s/Bucs tradition?

i've been critical of cox before on at least two occasions for taking bad chances,
but that was one he had to take. the sox had one of their less plodding runners on, two outs meant a full head of steam on contact, and the likelihood of another 2-out hit was low. i don’t know much about zobrist’s arm aside from that throw, but it was going to take a hurried throw and perfect catch b/c it wasn’t thome, aj, paulie, or dye running.

i'm not quite sure what you're looking for.
i was originally referring to tailgater apparently valuing 62 plate appearances with the sox over, say, the 487 total he’s had this year. or that’s what i thought. his argument, if one can call it that, was ill-constructed because it wasn’t clear from his original post – or his ensuring posts – why he thought brian should be starting.

Strictly the "old man" stuff.
I got the point, as perhaps he did. If TG was a goofball forever making idiotic points I might agree with chiding him like that. He isn’t. (Not that he needs protection from me, but as one who gets the “old man” dig all the time, I leap to my peer’s defense.) At least come up with a dig more creative. You are in danger of being a slave to the same notions you critique in others – holding on to stereotypes in the face of contrary information.

The Rangers finally called this guy up...
Rangers purchased the contract of OF Nelson Cruz from Triple-A Oklahoma.
Cruz is 5-for-17 since being activated at Triple-A on Thursday after missing three weeks with a quadriceps injury. So far this season, he is hitting .342 with 37 homers and 99 RBI in just 342 at-bats. His OPS is a solid 1.124. He’ll likely see significant time in right field, and is worth grabbing in AL-only leagues.
Will be interesting to see if he’s figured it out.
