Buehrle, White Sox Shutout Twins, Have Plenty Of Work Left
by The Cheat on Aug 19, 2010 10:22 PM CDT
in White Sox Game Recaps
Email
PrintThe best way to make a statement is with your play on the field, and the White Sox did just that Thursday night.
After losing four straight series and two straight 1-run games to the Twins, the Sox had to be looking to send a message; either that they weren't to be completely counted out in the form of a convincing victory or, with a message pitch directed at Delmon Young or Joe Mauer's backside.
The Sox pitching staff seemed like they should owe one to their offense after Carlos Quentin was hit twice -- once seemingly intentionally -- in last weeks series in Chicago. That score to settle got larger when Young went high and hard with a forearm into A.J. Pierzynski in Tuesday's game, but given the close nature of the first two games the Sox weren't in the position to be doling out free baserunners. So when the offense pounded Carl Pavano to the tune of 7 runs on 15 hits, it looked like tonight would be the night for some retribution both on the scoreboard and in the batter's box.
Sadly, when Young's spot in the lineup came up in the 8th inning with the Sox holding an 11-run lead, Ron Gardenhire, knowing full well what was likely coming Young's way, pulled him in favor of Jason Repko. The Sox pen dutifully hit the glove for the rest of the night, perhaps content to leave town with a convincing win. But it sure would have felt nice to see them throw at someone, anyone.
Before Ozzie went off on his detractors regarding his driving of Jim Thome into the arms of the Twins, minutes after Thome won the series opener with a walk-off homer, Ozzie was ripping on his team, saying something about not seeing a whole lot of effort out there -- Yes, this was the same game in which the Sox fought back from a 4-run deficit early and a 1-run deficit to take a late lead in extra innings -- so you would think he would be the one to be cheerleading the largely meaningless message HBP late in the blowout.
There's a disconnect there, but I've long since ceased trying to figure out Guillen.
As for the actual game, it was a blowout, maybe even more severe than the score indicated. The Sox had 10 hits through 3 innings yet only had 5 runs to show for it. There was no reason Carl Pavano should have been around in the 7th inning, yet there he was taking his lumps.
Mark Buehrle won his first game in Minnesota since '07. Shutting the opposing team out is usually a good plan. The Sox should try it more often, like tomorrow in Kansas City. A few more games like that and they'll at least make the stretch run an interesting one. Is that too much to ask?
EDIT: Buehrleman points out what would have been obvious if I had been paying close enough attention. Putz did hit Orlando Hudson. Just goes to show you if you don't see it, you're still out for blood.

On ugly baseball players, few top Jim Bouton on Joe Torre
Jim Pagliaroni joined the club tonight and is going to be a welcome addition. He was describing a girl that one of the ballplayers had been out with and said, ‘It’s hard to say exactly what she looked like. She was kind of a Joe Torre with tits.’ This joke can only be explained with a picture of Joe Torre. But I’m not sure any exist. he dissolves camera lenses

i was listening to the score for the last part of the game on tuesday as the kid and i were driving back, and dj was tellin farmio how they used to practice the intentional walk…farmio was baggin on him for that, and dj was kind of getting defensive…maybe this spring they can work on plunking…walker should get in the box to demonstrate how to take a ball

Am I the minority?
I say fuck hitting them. Q gets hit by everyone, everyone should be mean going to the plate. I don’t need my team to pull down their pants and show they have hairier balls, they just need to win. I really think there is something to be said for not playing the throw at a guy game.
by BoxingHideout on Aug 19, 2010 11:41 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
although it's a guess, i think you may be in the minority.
as far as Q, yes, he gets hit all the time because he doesn’t move but the second time perkins hit him in chicago it sure looked intentional.
also, it’s possible to win and still drill someone/stand up for your teammates/get revenge. as i noted earlier the sox, for whatever reason (and maybe my viewpoint is skewed) always seem to fare poorly in these scenarios.

Agree

Yes it could be because I’ve been reading SSS lately, but I really think an exception to this hard-to-argue-against principle could be made from teh Twinn, who I believe are in the heads of the whole org from JR down to the batboy, but especially the players.
Best game I ever attended was the 163rd game of 2008.

I would have agreed a year ago
but Pierre, Rios, Beckham, Ramirez, Teahen, Vizquel, Jones, Kotsay, Putz, Sale (for whatever that’s worth), Q and Vizquel have only just gotten to the Sox or been here when we beat them in ‘08. Only AJ, Buerhle & Konerko would remember the ’02-’04 choke jobs…

Only Paulie and Buerhle. . .
AJ didn’t join the Sox until 2005. But AJ witnessed the choke jobs as a Twin.
Other than the Blackout win in game 163, most of 2008 was a choke job against the Twins (1-8 in the Metrodome, I believe), and many guys are still here to remember those games.
Total proof that this generation has been pussified.
Sure we should win the Series. Who is going to argue with that? If you don’t think some of the means to get there include some intimidation factor you are kidding yourself. Gibson, Clemens, Pedro, Unit. Intimidation by pitching inside and protecting their teammates.
For Christsakes. (Yes, this deserves a formal Christ mention.)

This has been happening since 03’, get the shit kicked out of you physically, while losing series against them late in august. We all know what happens next.
There better be a message sent by the white sox in mid september, or we will be watching the twins get swept by the yankees come october.

principles and messages. yes, principles and messages gets you into the postseason.
if you really believe that most major league baseball players are afraid of getting hit – something which i find rather unlikely – why would you treat this situation like some rote box-checking exercise whereby they hit one of yours, you hit one of theirs right back? why not use that apprehension to your advantage? wait a series. wait another series. have them thinking it’s coming at anytime.
maybe use your head. that, with some talent, might get you into the postseason.
and, until september when we have some disposable pitchers,
i’m afraid of a suspension for a pitcher in the middle of a pennant chase.
"Afraid" is the key concept here.
Fear is the enemy. You are already intimidated. You are in a defensive position.

by Tdogg on Jul 23, 2010 10:13 AM EDT
yeah. i'm intimidated by playing major league baseball with jeff marquez starting the game.
only a retard wouldn’t be.
Which is one of the reasons we don't play the game.
You once described these guys as having :freakish reflexes". Thus it takes more to intimidate them than it does the average bear.

which is why someone with a brain who isn’t playing the game is the one who should be talking strategy. which means let’s not start – for the third goddamn time – some horseshit AAAA pitcher. they’ll get what’s coming to them in september. it’s always the rookies that ozzie sends to do his dirty work.

buehrle's WAR most likely will exceed the value of the first three years of his contract
good for him and the sox. there were some doubters in the SABR community, but i guess we’ll see how buehrle performs during the last year of his contract. the dip in k/bb is alarming, but is the low HR/9 sustainable? he’s on pace to giving up 17 dingers which would be a career low for him.

rob neyer reads larry's wiseass comments on SSS
It’s worth mentioning, I think, that Edwin Jackson’s been fantastic with the White Sox: 1.35 ERA in three starts, with 24 strikeouts and five walks.
Unfortunately, because of the future costs associated with each pitcher, this trade works for the White Sox only if Jackson’s better than Hudson in the near term and Jackson’s performance gets the White Sox into the playoffs. Otherwise it’s just an awful, awful deal.
That’s one example of a “challenge trade”: I’ll trade you my [position] guy for your [same position] guy."

A. Hudson was awful for us

C. Thus, trading a guy that they pumped then dumped, which many believe to be a middle of the pack starter
D. Thus, this same guy all of the sudden waking up in a division where the Padres are the best team and out of a pennant race.
E. Thus, sending us a guy who throws 97 with a sweeping slider who has pitched down the stretch.
F. Thus, not relying a rookie to help make the playoffs this year.

with peavy going down
you had no other option, so maybe it shouldn’t be judged in a win/loss. we needed a veteran starter, unfortunately we had to give up hudson. we all saw what hudson was doing in a sox uniform, you would have been comfortable with he and garcia rounding out the rotation?

i love the deal.
ely had a nice start too in the nl west. we have the better pitcher of the two, by far.

It isn't hyperbole
It is awful to spend $10MM on an investment that probably gives a short term return and zero in long term when you had the option to spend almost nothing on an investment that will provide similar return in the short term and additional returns in the long term
except that Edwin Jackson has better stuff than Hudson and its not close.
The guy was the top pitching prospect in all of baseball 5 years ago, Hudson’s peak didn’t crack the top 50.

Hyperbole for a trade that bad
Is to suggest it’s the worst trade in the history of sports. Just because he’s being blunt about it doesn’t make it hyperbole. The trade was horrid.
by Grinder in Training on Aug 20, 2010 9:40 AM CDT up reply actions
if you believe the club
the issue is that they didn’t trust hudson, a rookie, in a pennant race. and, if you believe cowley, they also thought he’d only be a 5th starter/reliever. i’d consider the former to be true and the latter to be spin or, at a minimum, an opinion held by some, but not all, in the organization.
this would probably be a not so great deal long-term even if the white sox make the playoffs but you could at least defend it. if they don’t, they’ve fucked up pretty big-time.
I think it'd be easier to defend
If they didn’t already make a string of similar moves that left their farm system so devoid of talent similar to Hudson. It’s not like they have Clayton Richard or Gio Gonzalez anymore either.

it's a pretty horrible indictment of a farm system
when your only choice is to deal your top pitching prospect or go with him in the stretch run. if they couldn’t put a package together to get edwin jackson that didn’t involve daniel hudson, the farm system has to be the worst in baseball (not that anyone was really disputing bottom five).
the most awful part of all of this is that it was so obvious from the start that the sox had a really, really good chance of having egg on their face for this one, but they didn’t seem to care. this thing dragged out forever, and it still happened. christ.
by Craig Grebeck on Aug 20, 2010 12:37 PM CDT up reply actions
I suspect they expected Hudson to fill Garcia's role adequately if/when he collapsed.
But in a pennant race, they decided he couldn’t be trusted in the same rotation WITH Garcia, so Jackson was the “smart” choice.
Maybe the whole thing is fucked up (as you describe), but losing Peavy was more a concern than future $$.
Is that a quibble? Certainly not an argument.

I think colin already did a fantastic job
outlining this deal. It will take something special for it to work in the long run in their favor and I didnt like the deal. If the White Sox win the WS this or next year they can gladly tell me to go fuck myself. And I would.
However just looking at Jackson I think he may have a big year in 2011 under Cooper’s eye.

So. It turns out Ozzie was right for at least a night: Sox don't need a DH to win.
21 hits, only starter without one was our DH.
Also:
Since the Sox aren’t collecting $$ to start games at 7:11, shouldn’t they advertise the start time as 6:70?

Thome Walks-Off Sox, Twists Knife, Continues To Make Sox Brass Look REALLY Stupid - White Sox Season Recap
Target Field
Was at the game last night, my first time at Target Field. It’s a tremendous upgrade from the toilet that is the Metrodome. Looks good, is easy to get around in and being outdoors is about 1000% better for the baseball experience.
You know how they say that some teams fans are baseball smart? Well, we didn’t run into any of those folks last night. Were treated to some pre-drunk college kids who wanted to start something during the lineup announcements. They somehow disappeared after a few innings.
Funniest moment was in the bottom of the third when Buehrle had retired the first eight and you could see little ‘no-hitter’ thought bubbles above everyone’s head. Lots of ‘omigod, omigod, omigod just get a hit or a walk or something’ chatter from nearby. The Twins fans were quite a bit less brash on the train ride home too.
Couldn’t have picked a better game to go see.

I originally said that the Sox really needed to be up a game or two heading into the series at home vs Minnesota. I think that is still pretty much true, though I can bend and say that by the end of the series they have to at least be tied. The end of the season is very much in the Twins favor.

When Nick Punto appeared to dive into second base last night, many of us in the pressbox scratched our heads. We know the dude likes to dive into first base, but second base.

I mostly like this
but fail to see the upside of Q in RF and Teabag at DH instead of the opposite.

Based off Teabag in right last time he might not be that much better right now.
"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 i suspect you're going to be seeing some analysis from some of the better baseball analysts soon
that might convince you that quentin isn’t quite as bad as you think in RF.
If true, I'd still prefer him to DH.
Can still hurt himself on the basepaths (or batter’s box) but eliminates the other 50% or so.
He’s as fragile as China Doll Getz.

thats what i thought too
but then someone posted the comments about ozzie saying he has to keep him busy which normally wouldnt mean shit but given how intense Q is it actually makes sense
Q RF – .242 .347 .487
Q DH – .203 .302 .473
over this season…i would hope he could adjust but who knows
actually it's the case that everybody hits worse at DH
it’s included in WAR calculations at fangraphs.
