White Sox Depend on Healthy Colon

PrintChicago White Sox at Tampa Bay Rays, Apr 17, 2009 6:38 PM CDT
The White Sox opened their 4-game series against the Rays by squeaking out a victory they seemingly tried to give away. Thursday's game marked their best pitching match-up and the only game their likely to miss Evan Longoria. Given the probable starters for the next 3 games and the Sox dome woes, the Sox would be happy leaving St. Pete with a split, and ecstatic if they can take 2 of the next 3.
CLICK THROUGH TO BRUSH UP ON JAMES SHIELDS
Brushing Up On James Shields!
He's their ace and he's well known by now, with two straight seasons with 200+ IP and a FIP under 4. He doesn't have any obvious weaknesses and has a full four pitch arsenal. The fastball is solid and he commands it well enough. It's relatively similar to Armando Galarraga's, with a bit more oomph and movement and less strict adherence to the outer half.
The offspeed stuff is what separates him from the pack. The change is definitely the best of those offerings, as he's able to generated a ton of whiffs throwing it to both righties and lefties. It's this that allows him to have functionally equal splits. PECOTA casts him thusly:
LHB: .243/.314/.397
RHB: .247/.304/.388
Righties whiffed a full quarter of the time he threw a change, lefties marginally less. Average for a change is around 13%. Most pitchers almost entirely abandon the change same handed batters, which likely adds to the effectiveness of the pitch. Against RHB, Shields mixes in a very hard slider (avg mph = 88) about as much as the change, which he uses to get called strikes and groundballs. It might be more accurately described as a cutter. His least frequently used pitch is the curve, a more or less average pitch that he hangs at times. He'll use it to get ahead in the count after getting a strike and probably won't throw more than one to the same batter.
Predictably, against lefties he uses the change more and compensates with less slider and less curve, but PECOTA says, the results don't change. Thome probably has the best chance to go deep, since he recognizes change-ups well and his slider has less break than most. AJ's contact skills should prove useful, as it's not like Shields walks anybody anyway. He's kept his BB/9 under 2 over the last two seasons. Of the righties, I'm hard pressed to pick someone who would have any particular advantage against Shields relative to the rest of the field. We need a good outing from Del Grande today.

Bartolo
Stuck in a small room without a TV.
How is Bartolo looking? (other than fat, round, rotund, gheri-curled, etc)
He was fine until you showed up.

Is it me or has buckner's zone been all over the place tonight?
White Sox: Trying to roll a hard six.
I was going to say the zone was extra small
But then he called that strike three…

Bucknor's zone will kill a pitcher like Shields.
Good that they’re taking advantage of it.

you think he's pitching?
i think he’s just been inconsistent. those were bad pitches.
THIS STORY ONLY ENDS ONE WAY
Bucknor isn't calling strikes just above the knees
Doesn’t help a sinkerballer one bit.

Hm. You're right.
TB’s announcers were talking about how he got plenty of grounders the last time out, and he hasn’t worked anybody up.

i do typically look at the pitch f/x and talk about these kinds of things
usually in writing.

I thought if I didn't read it, the Sox wouldn't get shut out.

doesn't help a control pitcher, either.

The zone allows them to "key-hole" it
They were bad pitches, but the zone helped them square it up.

You come late to the party and profess to know how the hitters are reacting?
