Josh Fields Remembers How to Hit Homers, Sox Romp Dodgers

in White Sox Game Recaps
Email
PrintThe critics who think the White Sox offense is too homer-dependent got some more ammunition on Wednesday night against the Dodgers, as the Sox weren't able to plate a single run without the aid of the longball.
Of course when you hit 6 of them, the most in a single game since 2004, and have a few of them come with men on base, who's gonna complain?
The 10 runs were more than enough for Gavin Floyd, who struggled with his breaking stuff all night and didn't get much help from his defense in the 2nd inning. Still he was able to run his string of quality starts to 7. He's been on a roll since getting a jolt of SSS mojo at the SSS outing on May 22nd, going 4-2 with a 1.90 ERA.
Wednesday marked the second straight game that he didn't really have a wipeout pitch, yet he was able to grind his way through to hand the ball to the bullpen with a lead. After his first handful of starts this season, I was beginning to think we weren't going to see that guy we came to know as BHB anymore. It's good to see he's back. He should stick around for a while, like maybe another 3+ seasons.
Ozzie Guillen needs to get some credit for plugging Josh Fields in the lineup at 1B today. Jim Thome had been on the bench for the entire NL road trip, and I'm sure most of you, like me, figured he would be penciled into the lineup nearly every game this home stand. But Ozzie had other ideas, giving Fields the nod against Randy Wolf, a left-handed pitcher with a repertoire he figured to have a good matchup against. Ozzie was right.
Fields singled in first at-bat against Wolf, then put the Sox up 5-3 with a 2-run bomb in his second. It was one of his 2007-esque high flyball, looks like a long pop-out homers, that he actually broke hit bat on. He wouldn't get a chance to face Wolf a third time, but it didn't matter. He found the outfield stands for the second time on the first pitch he saw from Corey Wade, on a fastball no less. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the lineup again this week at home, maybe at 3B, as Gordon Beckham saw his home OPS drop to .185.
Axe Shower Tool of the Game: Jimmy Gobble, for turning a 6-run game into an impossible-to-resist low-leverage save opportunity for Bobby Jenks.

so he's poor. what's your excuse for getting off on rubbing your face in the smelly, hairy armpits of women the size of jabba the hutt?
White Sox Minor League Updates: http://twitter.com/SouthSidelarry
you require a better wingman.
Procedure
The men often pick a desired woman, who is referred to as the “target”. The man intending to seduce the target is often called the “Pilot”. The “Wingman” is expected to back up the pilot, which typically entails talking to the target’s less attractive friend(s) and making comments that will make the “Pilot” seem more attractive.
The “Wingman” motivates the “Pilot” to be social and practice approaching women. He helps the pilot approach pairs and groups of women without the awkwardness of being alone.4 He will take the less attractive woman of a pair so that the pilot can engage in conversation with the more attractive without interruption. The target may feel more relaxed talking to the pilot while her obligation of entertaining his or her friend is taken care of by the “Wingman”. A group member who disapproves of the “Pilot’s” advances may also be prevented from interfering in a way commonly referred to as cockblocking while socially interacting with the wingman.
In certain situations, the “Pilot” will go with his “AW”, commonly referred to as Automatic Wingman. He has the most experience in playing the role of wingman.5 Other responsibilities include remembering details (i.e. target’s names aka “the bogey” and personal information) as well as compensating for intoxication in the judgment of the pilot.

Lurking since 2006
Each successive pitcher gave up one fewer home run than the previous pitcher (Wolf 3, Wade 2, McDonald 1, Mota 0). At this rate, Chad Billingsley will give up negative one homers tomorrow afternoon (does that mean the Dodgers abandon the DH and Chad hits one himself?)

Josh Fields knew it “was an opportunity to get some playing time” so he gladly grabbed Paul Konerko’s mitt and headed to first base against the Dodgers Wednesday.
Fields even is shagging batting practice fly balls besides his daily work on grounders at third base as he tries to make himself more valuable and get more at-bats.

Not too mention
that Kemp destroys lefties . . . even in the 10-4 game, that was a bad idea. He was put in a position to fail. We all know these things, certainly they do to and since they had a 6 run lead, were willing to roll the dice. Ozzie probably thought he had a horseshoe up his ass from playing Fields over Thome.

Last night I pulled a Chiburb and passed out at like 945 pm...earliest I've gone to bed in about 20 years
Anyway, I pass out at 3-3 and wake up to find Victory, 6 HR, 2 by Fields and the 6-9 hitters going 5-15 w/ 3 HR (raise your hand if you’re the person who predicted 2-14 or whatever you said).
Moral of the story…don’t watch this team?

OT: Anyone watching/excited for the NBA Draft tonight?
I love it…such a fan friendly format (compared to the NFL Draft).
I’m curious to see what the Bulls do. Assuming they keep #16, I think they should just go best player available since we don’t know what is going to happen with Gordon/Hinrich yet. Should be interesting.
Formerly Crede's Crew
Agreed
what I don’t want them to do is take the low upside guy that can help the most this year. They aren’t title contenders yet. They should be able to land a solid player there or be able to trade up a few spots and get more of an elite talent. I know it isn’t a real need, but I really think Lawson is going to a great value pick in the teens . . .
The one guy I definitely don’t want that they have been linked to is BJ Mullens. He is going to suck.
"I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it."
Yep, Dead on
I don’t want Mullens. I’m mixed on Blair…the height scares me.
I wouldn’t mind Lawson, esp considering the rumors Hinrich is going to be moved to make reupping Gordon doable under the Luxury Tax.
Lots of possibilities.

Shaq to Cleveland was big
I am really interested where Ilgauskas is going to end up playing (I think he is free agent right now). He would be a terrible off the bench role player. He needs his rythm and play more. So unless they make Shaq and Z split games it doesn’t make sense for him to stick around Cleveland. Z just couldn’t defend pick and roll during the playoffs and I am not surprised they picked up another center, that pick and roll vs Magic just killed them.
As far as draft itself I am always kind of indifferent, but this year even more so. Enjoy it though, Q’s Qrew
Lupe, release the balloons!
I dont think Z is a FA
and you have 2 big slow old guys . . . giving each 25 minutes a night sounds about right to me.
"I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it."
you are right
he has an opt-out clause to be come free agent, but yeah, very unlikely he does that, he loves Cleveland.
Lupe, release the balloons!
It's a decent move
Shaq’s always been underrated in creating for other teammates, so that takes some pressure of LeBron to always create something for the other guys. Defensively, they are still old and slow up front, but they are going to dominate the glass.

He is working on a nice baby hook.
And HOW he gets his 18/14 a game is less important than him getting it. And they’ll have Nelson all year.
And the old man (DeVos) is dying, religious (gifting like a mofo since he can’t take it with him), and willing to spend to get his title before he McMahon/Fawcett’s out. Don’t be surprised if he signs Hedo and the Polish Prince both. He’s on record saying he’s OK with paying the luxury tax.

Well, I am
just trying to help you win some money.

Mullens is a flaming pile of crap
If someone sucks playing in the Big 10, I have 0 faith that he will become a good player in the NBA, especially since the Bulls are retarded when it comes to developing big men.
Blair’s height isn’t a big issue. Plenty of guys with his profile succeed as physical backup PFs, and rebounding is usually the one skill that translates well from college to the pros. He won’t be a great scorer or anything, but the team needs some frontcourt depth.
I really wish they were in a position to grab Terrence Williams, but it’s doubtful he is there at 16, unless they package both their picks to move up.

Yeah, everything I see has Williams in the 11-13 range, but with our two picks, moving up is a possibility

Williams would be nice
if they can trade up with the Nets . . . but, I would be okay with Blair if they stick at 16. He is better offensively than Noah or Thomas right now. Just not James Johnson . . .

Is there anything Q! can't do (aside from stay healthy)?
Josh Fields made the most of his recent tenure on the White Sox’ bench – which is, perhaps, the reason he broke out of his slump Wednesday night with a 3-for- 4, 2-home-run performance against the best team in baseball.
Throughout his 12-day sentence, Fields was able to pick the brain of injured White Sox slugger Carlos Quentin during a series of long conversations about hitting. Said Fields, “I was able to figure some stuff out.”
Give him walker’s job.

Just saw a replay of the home runs. Man, the first one by Field’s, he muscled that puppy out of there. Although I don’t know if I would credit our hitters for this, almost all of the HR were horrible pitches left right over the plate dead center just begging to be destroyed.
Our bullpen need to get their shit together, especially with scrubs coming in, who always seem to feast on bullpen problems.
