Division Denouement: White Sox (86-71) @ Twins (86-72)

PrintChicago White Sox at Minnesota Twins, Sep 25, 2008 7:10 PM CDT
And so the season comes down to this. Sure, there remains 4 games left on the Sox' schedule after tonight's contest, but the division champion will be determined tonight. A Sox win puts them 1.5 games, needing only to match Twins victories over the final weekend to avoid playing an extra game against "Big Game" Freddy and the Tigers on Monday.
The Sox send out Gavin Floyd, who has gained a reputation as the White Sox' stopper this season thanks to 9-2 following a Sox loss and stopping a losing streak of 3 or more games 5 times this season including twice against the Twins. Floyd has been a revelation this season, and tonight is his opportunity to go from discarded, failed prospect to modern-day White Sox legend. He struggled in his last outing against Royals on short rest, but turned in his most impressive outing since his improbable start in Yankee Stadium last week.
Sitting here at home, I've changed things up. I've personally vanquished gay porn actor Christopher Michaels. I contributed exactly zero to the flagging American economy today, calling in sick (I really am, though feeling better now) and sleeping most of the day away. I've busted out the nameless authentic home pinstripes jersey I wore during every game of the 2005 playoff run and will be searching for that perfect posture of nervous optimism. America and the White Sox, fuck yeah!

Men nothing is as good as it seems and nothing is as bad as it seems, but somewhere in between there reality falls. We are not as bad as SSH2005 would lead you to believe. We can’t change the past but we can change the future. We cannot allow the Twins to beat us three games in a row. They beat us yesterday, and we cannot lose tonight because we are wallowing in self-pity thinking about what we should have done Tuesday. Remember the good Lord put eyes in the front of your head rather than in back so you can see where you are going – rather than where you’ve been. What we found out this week when things go wrong the only friends you have in this world are those that you eat with, sleep with, believe with, pray with, and cry with. That is your family and your teammates. Sure as shit isn’t that slanty-eyed fuck SSH2005 or that douchebag crackerjack box shrink dantesox. We have to be a family – doesn’t mean you have the same last name or the same address – what it does mean is that you don’t let one another down. We let one another down yesterday and we aren’t going to do it tonight. How well we play today is critical to your future! I’m not talking about baseball – I’m talking about life. Twenty years from now – you’re going to get laid off your job, the bank is going to refuse to extend the mortgage on your home, your car breaks down on your way home, and when you finally get home your four children tell you that your wife ran off with MarketMaker. You aren’t even going to flinch, you are going to say ‘I met the challenge at the Metrodome and I’ll meet the challenge here.’ It’s all about believing, someone has to pay for what happened yesterday, and its going to be Kevin Slowey and that asshole Nick Punto and the rest of those goddamn Twins today. Let’s go.

BUO de Rapido
Or something.
I haven’t published the stats yet, but they’ll be up pretty shortly. Slowey is a unique pitcher in the way that most Twins pitchers are: they throw a ton of strikes. The fastball to either RHB or LHB is prone to being hit with power (nothing off the charts, but it’s above .300 ISO, which is more or less my point of reference for good/bad), more so by LHB.
He features a cutter (marked as a splitter for no good reason in Kalk’s database…I’ve harangued him about the fact that no one throws a splitter anymore, but to my knowledge he hasn’t done any updates to the database in a while now…he’s probably sick of hearing my “ideas” anyway) that so far has been very successful against RHB. He can throw it for strikes and minimize damage (sinker esque ISO, but nothing outrageous). His slider is a strange pitch that gets a lot of whiffs, but it’s largely because he doesn’t like to put it in the zone. Moreover, it looks like he prefers to throw it inside to RHB. If you can recognize the slider, just lay off. Slowey should be the kind of pitcher RHB can work with because you can look fastball and lay off the location he sticks to with the slider.
Against lefties, the cutter is pretty dangerous. The power numbers against the fastball go up, but against the cutter, LHB haven’t managed even a .100 ISO. I tentatively suggest that it might be a good idea to get more RHB in the lineup, particularly with the bad case of slow we’ve got in our lefties. It also gets a very solid, particularly for a cutter, a 12+% whiff rate. As long as he gets ahead with his fastball, he’s got a number of options against lefties. And thus far, he’s been able to get ahead. He posts a very minimal split in his ball% when examining LHB vs. RHB, which isn’t true of most pitchers.
All in all, we’ve got a guy who’s stuff is playing way up because of his command. When he can’t throw good strikes with the fastball, he can get into Blackburn-of-late kind of trouble. Not that that necessarily translates to runs when your luck is like the Sox, but cackle with knowing glee if we start hitting his fastball hard consistently. Eventually, they will drop in for base hits, I promise. It just might be next season when it happens.

This was expected...
Cliff Lee probably won’t pitch Sunday unless the White Sox’s status for the postseason remains in doubt.
Lee is bothered by a stiff neck, but he is hoping to pitch. “It’s not my decision,” Lee said. “My job is to pitch when they want me to pitch, and that’s what I’ll do. I definitely want to pitch every chance I get.”

we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."

Anybody else have the Twins' broadcast?
The CF camera is at this crazy angle, almost directly behind second base but perched way up high, so you can’t judge high/low calls at all.

Sorry, no Twins-fellating for me today.
At least there’s a tiny chance that the Twins’ announcers will point out a deficiency on their team.
