in White Sox Game Recaps
Email
PrintBobby Jenks blew just his second save of the season, immediately demonstrating a complete lack of feel for the strike zone before being pulled without retiring a batter. Sergio Santos fared no better, walking one before giving up a game-winning RBI single thanks to Alex Rios uncorking a throw that tailed 40 feet up the third base line.
There's plenty of blame to go around after that 9th inning debacle. It was a total team effort.
More importantly, the White Sox have lost 3 straight for the first time since mid-April when they got swept by the lowly Indians. On the bright side, those same lowly Indians just swept the Tigers.
Mediocre division foes FTW!

thank god 'the club' is set on the tivo for watching later. possibly sitting through any highlight shows today is out of the question.
These events have me frightened and on the verge of evacuating my bowels.
I left after 8 and the watched in horror on my blackberry
He had 2 strikes on 3 of the first 4 batters and couldn’t make a pitch. Did Castro call for breaking balls to see if they’d chase? What a buzzkill.
On the brightside, its amazing a team with this many holes is in first place. And Q! Almost played a whole game! AND we get to see Kenny and Ozzie make asses of themselves on national TV tonight!

I wrote a recap too... I think it was nearly the same uninspired word count. I can't spend any more time thinking about this weekend's baseball. Last weekend was exponentially more fun.
For now, there are slow-cooked meats I must see to eating.
The Sox are on their way here and I hope/plan to bring home some winners this week.
Paws up.

Let's not Panic
the next 13 games are against Seattle and Oakland. This is a good time to make a 10-3 run or something better.
On the other hand, although this is only Jenks’s second blown save, I have not been all that impressed with him. Is it time to think about Putz as the closer? Thoughts? I don’t know what you do with Jenks—-I don’t think his trade value is that high, but maybe some NL team might bite—-he’s worse in low leverage situations, so he might not really fit well into the role of setup man.
jenks is fucking horrid
4.9 VORP this year…giving up as many hits+walks per inning as linestink…hes basically a replacement level pitcher right now who is closer because he used to be good at it
Staying Out of White Sox Business
think of jenks, the closer, as a blessing
it is bad baseball to have your best reliever only pitch in certain situations in the 9th inning. Thornton and Putz are used in the more important tough late game situations. If you are going to use stats like VORP, you should know that the whole idea of a closer role and saves is ridiculous.
Jenks was pretty much lights out in June
after making whatever adjustments he needed and then getting Reliever of the Month.

Any of the three losses could easily have been wins, not like there was a 15-5 game.

Hey! This just in
the Twins aren’t a bunch of slackers. You can’t make mistakes/errors like the Sox just did and expect to beat those guys. I don’t expect the Sox to play mistake free, but I believe the past few game were just an aberration and the Sox will get back to playing well.

They were on the razor's edge all game.
Freddy was walking on that wire the whole game (great job, Houdini). Pootz was the same. I had a horrible feeling when Pierre failed to squeeze 2x, then DP’ed. Awful.
Even though we lost on a walk-off, it seemed like we were dancing with that devil all day. Losing 3 of 4 at Minny isn’t optimal, but it is not the end of the world. The fact that Morneau was out all series and we still lost 3 of 4 is a little unsettling. But we’ve seen worse and worked through it.

Ozzie - Forget the Bobby must close idea
Why not Santos in the 7th instead of wasting Thornton that early. Then you have Putz for the 8th and Jenks or Thornton for the 9th. In the case of today – You use Thornton as the closer because you make Hudson bat RH and then have him for Mauer and Kubel. Why not take advantage of 2 guys that can close and use them strategically against the other team’s hitters coming up that inning to finish them off. Come on Ozzie – You are lucky enough to have this GIFT – use it !!!
He did use it
Thornton for the 7th to play the matchups with Mauer, Kubel, and possibly Thome coming to the plate
ugh. just stop.

If the Sox play .500 from here on out, they finish with 85 wins and that might be enough right there for the central.
Im a bit worried about the division record but we dont have to worry about that for all of next week. AND the Mariners are starting some guy Pauley who has as many walks as strikeouts(4) in his 9 whopping innings of work instead of Cliff Lee tomorrow.
Maybe Bobby is still stressing out over his old lady. Who knows, but like Metasox said he was lights out just last month. Im not as worried about him as most people here seem to be.

that there was ZERO coverage of the whole J Damon flirtation—-that would have been interesting.
The Club
Was alright, but really just brought back the memories of the Thome fiasco, and now we’re basically trying to trade for Jim Thome, as everyone in the world outside of Ozzie Guillen knew we would be.
It’s just unbelievable he can’t see the value of Thome over Mark Kotsay.

his reasoning is kotsay could play the outfield and 1st base
giving konerko and quentin a chance to DH…. to keep quentin healthy…. which is really dumb because nothing could keep that soft motherfucker healthy
Kenwo4life=ratings
I know his reasoning, I think it's bullshit.
Konerko doesn’t need to DH that often, he’s not the injury prone, defensive disaster that Q is.
And Q has only DH’d 16 times this year even with Kotsay here, so obviously that isn’t working, the White Sox have faced 19 left handed starters. Considering Thome’s inability to hit left lefties, it seems like it would have worked out well to DH Q everytime they face a lefty, and put Jones or Kotsay in RF (I don’t care which one you cut).

Santos still had the opportunity to get a save when he entered therefore the blown save is on him
Since the winning run was put on base by Jenks he gets the loss.
But it doesn’t really matter since the definition of save and loss are pretty arbitrary. What does matter is that they both sucked yesterday.
I have zero worry at all from yesterday's lost
Shit happens. 3 run 9th inning leads are converted 90% from ANY reliever. Ozzie’s rotation in the 7th, 8th and 9th was fine.

thank you, Bobby has an xFip of 2.80, which is fine, the walk rate is a bit troubling but he's a top 15 closer no doubt
he’s the least of our problems.
Taking on another couple of runs yesterday (15 hits!!) would have done the trick.
Atleast Detroit got swept this weekend
Ozzie said it best when he said “I’d rather be lucky than good”
That's why Ozzie should watch and not manage.
That was a hard loss to stomach, but I’m in the camp of Jenks will be fine. (only his second blown save) I also like the idea that maybe this weekend put a little more emphasis to Kenny that there is still work on the phones to be Dunn if this team is going to contend.

Ever see him try to catch a pop up? and on the basepaths he makes Paulie look like Carl Lewis. What’s he hit w/ RISP? Bet it’s not even .250. He hits 500 foot solo homers when they’re up 4 or down 4. 200 K’s a year, maybe? Enjoy.
career OPS with RISP is 898, and yea his defense sucks
but last time I looked Sox were in the market for DH that could OPS over 700. Going from Kotsay and Jones to Dunn is going to be like going from a 10 dollar tin can grill to The Big Green Egg.
career RISP
.231/.415/.479
Dunn pretty much OPS’s over .850 in all situations. High leverage can of implies “important”. Not man on 2nd with 2outs in the first inning.
If you want to pick on his batting average be my guess but that has little to do with his offensive production.

by Grinder in Training on Jul 19, 2010 1:19 PM CDT up reply actions
sure, take away his defense you got something...
Fangraphs rating for offensive value was 35.5 Runs Above Average in ‘09. His defensive value? 36.3 Runs BELOW Average. So what’s that mean he’s worth — 1.2 Wins a season? Yeah, sounds perfect for the Sox or some other dumb AL team.
Dumb?
Sounds to me you would get more traction by simply saying he should not be in the field. Cutting his time in half to DH is pretty substantial. Has Thome been irrelevant?
"it’s over, tdogg.
no. it’s not unlike me. when i make an unqualified statement, it means i’m sure i’m right" Larry
Considering the Sox have a) a HUGE need for a DH and b) are already playing Q the butcher in RF
Dunn makes perfect sense. Let Q ease into the playoffs with 5 starts a week while him and Dunn split time at DH/RF. DFA Kotsay, bring up Morel, send Viciedo back down and call it a day.
that said, I doubt the Sox have the pieces to make a trade this big.
Doesn’t seem wise to try and bring in another 4th starter type into a pennant race at US Cellular either.
So unless they get an over they feel they can’t refuse I hope they stand pat.
marcum and berkman
done and done
Watching this team is like jerking off 10 minutes after you just jerked off - billyok
They are probably asking for Quentin or Beckham
and if so its not happening. If Morel really is an above avg defender at 3rd I really don’t want him moved either.
"it’s over, tdogg.
no. it’s not unlike me. when i make an unqualified statement, it means i’m sure i’m right" Larry

and theres no point anyway in switching morel and viciedo in regards to minors and majors. dayan is doing just fine
Watching this team is like jerking off 10 minutes after you just jerked off - billyok
i won't matter anyways wrt viciedo vs Morel, it's just window dressing
But if they bring in another power bat then the argument for Viciedo on the big club is diminished.
First week of September they will all be up anyways.
I would seriously consider Quentin for Dunn straight up. Call me crazy.

DH - a new position...
can he just jump into it? You don’t know how an everyday guy’s gonna react. Anyway, I’m not averse to adding AD-the 2010 version, but all that on-pace crap is just too unreliable given that there’s another half-season to go. What’s his salary situation?
Last year of his deal.
And he’s been good for numerous seasons, so it’s not on-pace crap that matters, it’s his being a huge left handed bat that enjoys hitting home runs and getting on base that matters.
He’s been traded mid-season before, so it probably wouldn’t be a Rios type struggle to fit in, he’s been through it.

Player News (last updated: July 18, 2010)
News: Quentin bruised his right hand while sliding into third base on Sunday and was removed from the game, reports Scott Merkin of MLB.com.
Spin: The injury might keep Quentin out of a game or two so it doesn’t linger and affect his swing. The good news is that he was safe at third and got the stolen base.
Dude I don’t give a damn about your fantasy squad. Fans are not trading a stolen base for 2 missed games by Quentin numbnuts!

From Twink town
It would appear that Brian Duensing is headed for the Twins rotation, and Nick Blackburn is headed for parts unknown. (Or Rochester.) It seems less likely, then, that Duensing will be similarly supplanted via trade, and so the starting pitching question before the trade deadline becomes something different: what would it cost to upgrade from Kevin Slowey?
Allow me to ignore a few names right off the bat. Roy Oswalt is signed for $16 million next year. Dan Haren is signed for $12.75 million for both next year and the year after. According to John Bonnes, the Twins payroll is already shaping up at about $106 million next year – without Orlando Hudson or Carl Pavano, for starters, or any other free agent that might replace those two. Adding Oswalt or Haren would bump that up into the stratosphere. This seems highly unlikely. (And before you ask, Carlos Silva’s $11.5 million for next year is an absolute non-starter. And it’s also Carlos Silva, who would cause several notable Twins bloggers to commit suicide.)
I knew the payroll had expanded but never really considered it was that high already for next year.

from an ESPN article:
No other club’s postseason hopes have gotten a bigger boost over the past two weeks than those of the White Sox. Here is the look at the top five gainers during that span based on Baseball Prospectus’ Playoff Odds Report:
Team Playoff Odds on 7/4 Playoff Odds on 7/18 Net Gain
White Sox 18.4 47.3 28.9
Rays 57.8 72.4 14.8
Giants 6.3 20.3 14.0
Yankees 73.0 85.5 12.8
Rockies 38.5 46.5 8.3
Despite giving up four runs in the bottom of the ninth inning on Sunday and losing 7-6 to the Twins, the White Sox are 8-3 over the past two weeks. Carlos Quentin hit .391/.483/1.217 with six home runs in 29 plate appearances during that stretch and Gordon Beckham finally started to emerge from his sophomore swoon by batting .423/.444/.769. John Danks (2-0, 3.60 ERA), Gavin Floyd (2-1, 1.37) and Mark Buehrle (2-1, 2.45) all notched two wins, as did reliever Tony Pena (2-0, 2.25).
also:
Meanwhile, the five biggest losers in the Playoff Odds Report over the past two weeks:
Team Playoff Odds on 7/18 Playoff Odds on 7/4 Net Loss
Red Sox 36.1 60.0 23.9
Mets 21.1 40.3 19.2
Twins 33.0 50.4 17.4
Dodgers 18.8 32.6 13.8

The Club -- made for TIVo
I made the mistake watching it ‘live’ and had to endure 20+ minutes of commercials. That’s even worse than broadcast TV with 18+ per hour. Pretty unwatchable if you have to sit through Tidy Bowl ads. The long segment on KW’s kid didn’t help.
I enjoyed watching it via my DVR,
which cut it down to a 40min program. I thought the inside segments of meetings and player conferences were interesting, and I’m looking forward to next week’s war room talk.
