Bats Bail Out Buehrle While Bullpen Bastes The Jenksgiving Turkey
by homesickalien on Jul 28, 2010 11:05 PM CDT
in White Sox Game Recaps
Email
PrintFor a game that started so bitterly with the Mariners scoring five runs in the first two innings, this one-run Sox winner is simply all the sweeter.
Despite a shaky Buehrle start, the Sox were able to outscore the Mariners with runs scattered over four innings. Beckham, Konerko and Ramirez all hit long balls (surprisingly, as did Chone Figgins for the first time this season), but the final nail was a Rios RBI single to left field in the 7th inning, to give the Sox the 6-5 lead and eventual victory.
When Buerhle was benched after the 5th, the Mariners only mustered two more hits against the spectacular bullpen of Santos, Thornton, Putz, and Jenks. (Both hits were off of Thornton, who was not in his usual Easy Heat form).
Jenks struck out the side to close the game with the one-run lead in his hands. A closing situation not unlike the one last Wednesday night in Seattle. But unlike last week, Bobby was vicious. Bobby was hungry. Bobby came ready to play (heh).
Alexei made another incredible play going to his right tonight; at least the third just like it in the past week. His defense has been disgustingly beautiful lately (read: since Teahen disappeared), and his bat is just as hot these days.
One more tomorrow against Seattle, the 10th and final match between the two teams this season. The record so far is 8-1 in favor of the Good Guys.
I do declare I'm going to miss these Mariners!

Couple okayish singles and then a hit batsman
He was still hitting 97, 98 on the gun. The problem was his locations weren’t great, and (like usual lately) his sliders weren’t worthwhile to my eye. Too many high and slightly outside fastballs that were relatively easy takes for the opposing hitters kept him out of good counts.
how embarrassing to give up five runs to seattle.
they absolutely suck.

nah. i blame the defense.
maybe if the sox were more competent on rundowns seattle only scores one run in the first.

i didnt see the game or notes...
did catch the last few innings on a very faded score broadcast, but basically youre saying those were unearned runs? were there more then one pickle tickle?

just one failed rundown.
buehrle picked branyan off first, alexei ended up throwing the ball away, figgins scored and branyan went to third then scored when the next batter hit a sac fly.
hey swisher...........you know.
not on that play it's not.
i think he’s incredibly awesome, but the fact is he threw the ball away. (if you want i’ll allow you to place a small part of the blame on konerko for not getting him the ball quickly enough. i know you want to.) ;-) but if that throw is on target figgins is out.
hey swisher...........you know.
konerko did look even slower than usual starting that rundown. he should have been able to put the tag on.

Just got home.
What an evening. Started off in the patio, where I set a new personal record for amount of food that can be piled on a single styrofoam plate. Saw LT hanging out, and then found the man the myth the sideburned legend TeahennyPenny. I tried to start a fight with him, but he is just so darn lovable, I couldn’t go through with it.
Had great seats… two rows back from on top of the visitors bullpen. Made for some good opportunities to get some Aaaaaaaaardsma chants in. Go Groupon go.
Even though it was 3-0 before we could hardly blink in the first, I didn’t have that “oh shit” feeling I would have had last year, or even two months ago. Even with that god awful spectacle throw from Alexei to home, The feeling was just that it wasn’t near over, despite Vargas on the bump. Once he started getting slapped around and the pitch count rose, it was just a question of getting to the bullpens. And that’s when I knew we had it.
Bobby Fuckin’ Jenks. There was a collective “OH please don’t fuck this up” from the crowd (and a surprising amount of booing, which I was displeased with) when he came out. He said “hey, all you 26k+ paid attendance folks, STFU.”
Muggy as hell, but damn, perfect Summer evening baseball.

if we had met KenWo it would have been a mini SSS meet-up
It was good to see you and the sideburns man, and what a game. Just like you said, even though we were done 3-0 from the go no was too worried. It’s the mariners and the sox are playing some good baseball. Although I was quiet pissed when Figgins homered.
Anyways, rough night after. Came to the work to find a beer mug right in the middle of my desk and then remembered that I took the beer out of the bar and made a pit stop at the office. I seriously have to stop doing that.

you tell 'em bobby boy
“Before I got in the game, some (idiot) was out there telling me I (stink),” Jenks told MLB.com after striking out the side for his 21st save. "You know, where has he been the last six years that I’ve been doing my job?
“Situations like that, it bothers me a little bit. But not enough to where it affects me. I look at it and say, ‘Who is this guy? Does he know baseball?’
“Is he a fan or just a numbers guy and looks at the numbers and judges where I’m at. And obviously my numbers aren’t good,” said a defiant Jenks with a laugh. “I’ve had a few bad ones so far. All and all, in save situations, I’ve been doing my job when I’ve been healthy out there.”

So, browsing other teams sites.. I came across this
Usually a team that’s struggling like the Cubs are plays up to or down to its competition — meaning they’d dominate the bad teams and play .500 ball against the good ones.
Is that correct? I thought playing up or down to your competition meant you play worse against bad teams, and better against good teams? Have I had this phrase wrong?
by Grinder in Training on Jul 29, 2010 9:40 AM CDT reply actions
no, that is not correct.
therefore, no, you are not wrong.
if a team dominated the bad teams and played .500 against good ones they would probably be in the playoffs. that certainly does not describe the cubs. they just stink.
hey swisher...........you know.
I read it the same way.
Playoff-bound teams are supposed to dominate the bad teams (like the Mariners) and hold serve against the good ones. Teams that do that generally win 90+ games.
Cubs are 10 games under on the season-
and 10 games under vs Houston and Pittsburgh.
I dont think that qualifies as playing to the level of your competition.

supposedly
the cubs have played the weakest schedule in baseball so far.
http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2010/7/28/1593708/mlb-strength-of-schedule-estimates
Hmmm...
We are tied with the Twins on this list but at first blush it seems we have a much tougher schedule. The Cubs ranking is hilarious. Probably has something to do with their shitty division though?
at this point in the year
it’s pretty hard for one of two teams from the same division with essentially the same record to have played a “much tougher schedule”.
Both teams have 2 more home games than road left
.485 winning percentage for remaining Sox opp
.497 for the Twins.
Its a coinflip.
"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
Sox do have 6 of the 9 remaining Twins games
at home.
"it’s over, tdogg.

sweet
hopefully that will turn out to make the difference
"Let’s plunge ourselves into the roar of time, the whirl of accident; may pain and pleasure, success and failure, shift as they will- it’s only action that can make a man" Faust, Goethe
I looked at the schedules last week
and I thought I saw more weak sisters in the Twins schedule than ours. Can’t argue with numbers though.
the sox have 14 games left vs detroit
the twins only have 6.
id say thats an advantage for us since the Tigers are decimated.
