Thome Launches 550th Homer, White Sox Back to .500
by The Cheat on Jun 1, 2009 11:18 PM CDT
in White Sox Game Recaps
Email
PrintWell that was a thoroughly satisfying win.
Gavin Floyd continued his return to BHB-form, ending his night with a bases loaded strikeout of Orlando Cabrera. Matt Thornton threw enough heat to melt the polar icecaps. And Jim Thome topped it all off with some SEVERE DAMAGE, the 550th of his career.
The win moves the White Sox back to the .500 mark for the first time since May 3rd. Yep, I feel like loosening up the belt a notch and laying down on the couch to fall asleep to some Conan after that one.
In any other division, celebrating a .500 record might seem a bit absurd. But in the AL Central a .500 record puts you alone in second place, firmly in the hunt for a division title. Which got me thinking about something...
Is this the year the Ozzie Guillen-led White Sox finally have a second-half winning percentage that outpaces their first? I've often brought up the fact that Guillen's teams have been a first-half bunch, but I honestly don't think he has much to do with that disparity. If anything, that anomaly has more to do with the Sox lack of impact players on the minor league level who are ready to step in and make the club better in the second half.
I can think of only one player, Bobby Jenks. And he didn't really have a chance to impact the Sox record. Though he obviously made a significant impact on the Sox trophy case.
I'm sure you know where I'm going with this now. The Sox just might have a couple of impact players lurking on the farm this year, and for the first time in, well, seemingly forever, there is a position player making a push. I don't need to get into specifics here. You all do a good enough job posting his positional status and most recent batting line from the Charlotte box score in just about every thread.
When Hawk and Stoney are breaking down Josh Fields' loopy swing after he swings through another not-that-high fastball, the same mechanics we lamented at length here 2 freakin' years ago. When Fields and Greg Walker have appeared to make no discernible attempt to tighten up his hitch. When the organization's only plan appears to be moving their top prospect up a level to get reps at 3B... Well, the writing is on the proverbial wall. That writing is Gordon Beckham, and he's part of the reason the Sox have a shot at being better in the second-half this year.
Also, 3e8 deserves credit for pointing out that the Sox' R H E line on the scoreboard read 5 5 0 following Thome's HR.
I'm not quite sure that I'll be agreeing with Black Jack McDowell that often, but I have to say that he has made his blog an every-post read for me. His latest entry on the Jake Peavy-Roy Oswalt saga is a good example. He gives you the player's perspective without spouting off a few Jacksonian/Singletonian cliches.
I don't even know how the Oswalt discussion got started. Was that a WTGTD-generated rumor using the misspelling Ozwalt? I ask only because I wasn't here this weekend and Kenny Williams is wondering.

My softball team dropped to 0-4 after a 20-0 loss. Yes, even worse than the White Sox / Twins game.

Can someone edit the vid to put a small dot on each of Konerko/Fields' hands before starting the swing?
Konerko’s hands will stay behind the dot all the way up until swinging. Fields’ hands will travel around it completely. And keep in mind the Fields’ clip is zoomed out quite a bit compared to the Konerko one
Per FanGraphs, Fields has the 5th lowest contact% on pitches in the zone within all MLB
This by itself is not necessarily condemnable, it might be tolerable if Fields still showed the power he displayed in ’07. But his average has dipped below .250 and the ISO is under .100
How much of slugging is due to power.

i completely missed the game for a soccer game (friend's little brother's state semi final soccer)
but seeing BHB may actually have fully returned, orca choking with the game on the line (for NOT the sox, and seeing that there was some damage that was truly QUITE SEVERE, a win, and an overall record of .500 is undoubtedly invigorating!

I was at the game
and I knew Thome was going to cause some severe damage. It was the same feeling I had at his 500th homer game. I knew he was going to hit it, I just didn’t know in which at-bat. Turned out to be the last one, both times.
BHB’s strikeout of Cabrera was excellent, as was Alexei’s leaping grab…oh yeah, and DWise’s! Holy crap! Anything Holliday can do, we can do better.
And let me reassure you, I did not participate in the Wave.
That ball hit deep! Way back! You can put it on the boooaaaard...YES!
Long drive into deep right center field! This ball is OUTTA HEEERRRREE!

by homesickalien on Jun 2, 2009 8:13 AM CDT up reply actions
i would venture a guess that holliday would say that he should make the catch he did.
not that it wasn’t difficult, but he had plenty of time and the catch took no great amount of athleticism or coordination.
Cashing checks and having sex.
I agree, he should have caught it,
but comparing the 2, Holliday’s was much harder.
"How could he lose it in the sun? He's from Mexico."

I agree
watching wise’s again, he looks like he could have stood at the base of the wall and let it drop into his glove. it wasn’t so great in that it shoulda been easier, but the way he played it made it look pretty nice.
Holliday caught it a good foot behind the wall.
the upper third of caberra's head is remarkably defined

Look at the schedule
If you look at the Tigers schedule in June, It’s tough. A lot of the teams they play are in first place and have good all around pitching and hitting. Just look at it. Also take a peak at the Twins schedule, and make a judgment on what you think of how tough of a division this will be around July and August.
Hawk and Stone have been saying it all season.. get through May and the Sox will be fine. I’d say we’ve done that.

Two things
1.) Yesterday was the first time since 05 that we swept the KC Royals.

I was happy with everything last night BUT,
1) Fields not having a clue on what he is doing at the plate anymore – no confidence and 2) Alexi’s morbid attempt at a bunt in the 8th.

let me tell you what is wrong with Fields
as the pitcher is getting ready to release the ball, Field’s hands move up, drop down, move up (again), then he swings and it is too late. He has way too much going on with his hands, they need to teach him that, the best way to hit is to take the most direct path to the ball. It is literally like he is winding up twice before he swings. Terrible technique.

I have never been a fan of guys who drop their back elbow to hit the ball (Sweeny). I don’t know what I was on when I did his projection? I figured he would have quieted his swing a little bit…

Lack of Kennys
With Antonio Bastardo making his major league debut for the Phillies tonight, we can look forward to the following scenario*:
* Antonio hits a player named Kenny, knocking him to the ground.
* First announcer screams, "Oh my god, he’s killed Kenny!"
* Second announcer screams, "You Bastardo!"
Unfortunately, there’s a distinct lack of Kennys in the game. Ken Griffey, Jr. plays for Seattle and is unlikely to face Bastardo. Ken Takahashi is a relief pitcher for the Mets and is unlikely to bat. Kenji Johjima and Kendry Morales are close, but they also play in the AL. That leaves us with Kenshin Kawakami, a starter for the Braves. We can only hope these two start against each other at some point.
Maybe the Rockies can bring up a hitter named Kenny when Bastardo pitches in Colorado.
Where’s Kenny Lofton when you need him?

Keep what up?
I’m fairly certain most projections had him right around a .320-.330 OBP coming into the year. Taking a look at the updated ZiPS on fangraphs they have him at .334/.360 the rest of the way, which is exactly what he’s at now.
The difference between the two is likely marginal at best, but Pods is likely to finish with an OBP anywhere from 25 to 50 points higher than Wise. Does Wise’s edge in speed and defense really close that gap? I’m not fond of either option, and in either case Anderson should be getting half (or more) of the CF at-bats anyways, but I think I’d rather have Pods than Wise.
Why would anyone make projections for him?
Was he even in baseball before the Sox picked him up? I projected him batting around .103 w/ an OBP near .110. :P

Check mate, bitch!
I think it's funny to picture them as completely different characters. One is Big and one is Hairy. But neither are both.

Yep. Always best to provoke people who threaten with automatic weapons.

Fuck another long night
Have to drive to Rochelle for a 5:30 appt and then drive back.
Have to go to Chicago tommorrow for appts on thursday. I’m going to the game wednesday though, hopefully on an agency voucher.
"a methead"
What do you guys think so far about the Tigers? Are they going to hang in there to the end of the season, or are they playing above their potential?
I was expecting us fighting off the Twins to win the division, but maybe it will be Detroit this year?
I think they'll be in the mix
people wrote off Edwin Jackson unfairly, and it looks like Verlander has bounced back quite nicely. Throw in a good offense and I think they’re there until the end, though are beatable.

The Tigers do have a rough June.
Sox have a tough June as well w/ MIL and LAD. I think this 5 game matchup at home against the Tigers next week can really set the stage for the rest of the season. Next week is a big week for the ’09 Sox imho.
What's tough about June for the Sox?
Until you've looked at an ant through a magnifying glass on a sunny day, you don't realize how often they go up in flames...
Must be playing all those home games in front of half-empty stadiums

4 DET, 3 @ MIL, 3 LAD?
and 6 @ middling, barely > .500 teams
These events have me frightened and on the verge of evacuating my bowels.
oops, was only glancing at magnet schedule
forgot about the makeup.

"w/ MIL and LAD"
I think @ MIL might give us a problem, maybe not. And the way LAD are playing, ic them giving us trouble as well.
three way run to the finish, Tigers, Twins, Sox, best pitching wins, THE SOX

Are we going to be able to get the full game in tonight with the weather?
There are suppose to be some good rain showers this evening starting around 730/8pm.
40% chance of rain
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Conteras pitching tonight.....perfect game through 2/3....
and G Beckham is 0-0 with no fielding errors.
Is there a good place to pull up his defensive stats?
minorleaguebaseball.com only has his batting numbers available.
