White Sox Come Back Thanks To Royal Gaffes

in White Sox Game Recaps
Email
PrintHere's a list of days since August 4th in which the White Sox won and the Twins lost (when they didn't play each other): August 29th.
That's it. That's the list of days in which the Sox picked up a full game on the Twins without the benefit of playing head-to-head.
So when the out of town scoreboard was showing the Twins getting shut down by Fausto Carmona and the Indians, the Sox saw they had the opportunity to do more than hold-serve in a must-win series (nearly a must-sweep series).
Picking up ground wouldn't be easy, however, not with Joe West and crew in town. When last we spoke of West, he was stupidly starting games and interjecting himself into the playoff race by forcing a double-header after burning starting pitchings in a game that lasted 9 minutes before a rain delay. Before that you'll remember him from the two-balk, Buerhle ejection in Cleveland earlier this year.
Good ol' Joe was at it again, this time employing his sidekick Angel Hernandez, who stuck to the script and also called Buehrle for two balks. They have an agenda and they sure stick to it. Hernandez, who was working behind home plate, seemed to call the second balk on Mark Buehrle for bringing his front leg back beyond his back knee, which at 60 feet seems like an impossible call to make, especially when replays showed nothing. Thankfully, West didn't feel the need to toss Buehrle after his demonstrative reaction to the second balk call (note: tossing your hat = stay in the game; toss your glove = ejection).
The balk is one of the most convoluted judgement calls in sports and presents the perfect opportunity to execute a little bias, to hold a grudge against a particular pitcher or team. Let's just say it's no coincidence that Joe West's name keeps coming up in this space.
As for the actual action decided between the two teams on the field, it was once again Willie Bloomquist who took it to Buehrle and the Sox. He's now 18-39 in his career against Buehrle, adding 2 more doubles and RBIs tonight.
Down 3-1 in the 8th inning, Alexei Ramirez reached base on a throwing error from Yuniesky Betancourt. It was the third defensive miscue by the Royals -- Josh Fields booted a grounder and dropped a pop-up at third base earlier in the game. But the Sox had yet to take advantage of the free outs. Alex Rios quickly changed that with a double down the left field line -- past a diving Fields. That set the stage for a Manny Ramirez, who was promptly pitched around with the Royals eschewing any swings from Ramirez in favor of A.J. Pierzynski. A.J. didn't disappoint, stinging one to center field that skirted by Gregor Blanco and allowed pinch-runner Brent Lillibridge to score easily from first base.
From there it was a 1-2-single-3 inning from fireballing rookie Chris Sale, and the Sox picked up a game on the Twins. Repeat, The White Sox picked up a game on the Twins. I hope to be writing that with considerable frequency in the next week.

So, I know I've read that it's not hard to pitch relief
And there was article recently (was it Neyer?) pointing out that there are over a hundred guys currently in the minors that could do what Sale is doing. I’m still impressed, small sample size and all.
Maybe it’s that Sale’s competition in my mind is Broadway and McCulloch, but whatever the reason I’m amazed that he’s doing this in majors the same year he was drafted…
i like sale and all
but he makes me nervous. he seems to be right on the borderline of “effectively wild” and “just plain wild”. of course that’s just according to my eyes.
i am a bark for buffeting. i am a hound for thornypaws. i am a doe for swiftness. i am a tree for wind-siege. i am a windmill. i am a hole in a wall.
from what i've seen, i agree
but it’s obvious what made him such a well regarded arm.
Fireworks: Bang?
I don't think the article is BS
If you pool all the top pitching prospects across baseball, there probably are a lot of guys in the minors that could perform well in the pen. On the other hand, saying that there are “many hundreds” that could do it seems excessive to me.
by hitlesswonder on Sep 10, 2010 11:55 PM CDT up reply actions
He needs to take into account Sale is throwing from the left side
LHPs have lower average velocity than their RH counterparts. Sale is averaging over 95 with his fastball and capable of 100 as shown tonight. You do not see this often from lefties. You may be able to call up a minor league relief pitcher with less hype who throws hard and has the ability to prevent runs similar to Sale over a portion of a season, but he wouldn’t have gotten it done the same way. Sale’s arm is pretty unique
but i do mostly agree with neyer
find a guy who can throw hard and put it in the zone just enough for 3 outs. it’s not that hard. probably harder than he estimates, but not that hard.
Fireworks: Bang?
i agree with you, if this is going into the direction of why you should not invest

Which is why you don't ever pay too much for a reliever.
The term “fungible” comes to mind. Boone Logan still has a career.

by mick10 on Sep 1, 2010 2:39 PM EDT
i remember the last time we didn't pay for a reliever
we had dewon day, dave aardsma and andrew sisco

Then we bought Dotel and Liney for $9+MM/year.
Good move.
Aardsma seems to have workd out fine.

dotel was fine
and liney was good in the first half of 2008… and we made the playoffs that year. that doesn’t happen with andy fucking sisco
Kenwo4life=ratings
Sisco was a reach, sure.
You don’t pay too much for a reliever because many minor leaguers can fill the position nicely. When you don’t have minor league depth your choices are fewer.

The first balk call looked legit
and I’m pretty sure it was called by the first base umpire?
i think hernandez (the home plate ump)
called them both.
i am a bark for buffeting. i am a hound for thornypaws. i am a doe for swiftness. i am a tree for wind-siege. i am a windmill. i am a hole in a wall.
Yeah, WTF I have no idea anyways
I spent one season as a baseball umpire when I was 15 or so. They gave me no training and told me I would be working the bases only as a veteran ump would be behind the plate.
First game (and many games after that) no other ump shows. In the first inning, some manager starts complaining about a balk. I walked over to him and said, “Dude, I’ve been watching baseball my whole life, I’ve never umped before, and I have no clue what a balk is, there are not going to be any balks called tonight, so you should just pretend like it’s not a rule.”
There’s a reason I’ve reffed soccer for fifteen years now and lasted fifteen games in baseball, even though soccer is 10x more work.

by homesickalien on Sep 11, 2010 6:38 AM CDT via mobile up reply actions
The only call I saw at first was out... it was the plate ump... and delayed at that
"ass hole thi is the same line up whit leftys you idiot"
Well
that makes a big difference, Angel Hernandez is a douche.
I read Ron Luciano’s book a long time ago, and he said he never had any idea what a balk was, and he thought only a few of the umpires did, but whenever another ump called a balk, he would start screaming “balk” at the top of his lungs. Looks like that’s what the first base ump did here, just to give ol’ Angel some backup.
It’s entirely possible that this crew believes Mark Buehrle is balking and that they’re not trying to cheat us. They’ve probably talked about it amongst themselves, but they could genuinely believe that Buehrle’s standard pickoff move is a balk or something.
by Gentleman Jim on Sep 11, 2010 10:50 AM CDT up reply actions
it is a balk move. most decent lefties use one. sucks that they call it. sucks even worse that a guy that's out of position to make that call does it.

it's not a balk move. it's a judgement call.
there is only one umpiring crew in all of baseball that uses preconceived bad judgement to draw attention to themselves.

In baseball or any sport, you don’t talk about the bad ones, you talk about the good ones. “He goes by all the rules, he has been good for the ballclub, he has been good with the players, he is a great influence for the Latinos. No complaints.”
I laughed when I read that this morning
because Ozzie indirectly and unintentionally dissed on his boy Pablo.
A couple years ago he probably would've referenced Uribe
But seeing as how he’s the Giants Longoria now he had to go to the Ozuna/Betemit blast.

Yep. As soon as I am fully sickened by the Bears - roughly a minute into the 2nd quarter - I'll flip to RedZone Channel.

i mean its terrible
i was the only one making jokes that would be basically ignored as standard fair here and collecting recs like it was going out of style from the incredibly low expectations. plus everyone is a meathead know nothing. most of the sites authors content is just trash talk about ‘revenge’ and ‘getting no respect.’ i hate it so much. it makes me want to become a steelers fan just because their SBN blog is actually good. and if the vikings leave minnesota, i just might. theres no way im rooting for an LA team.
[side note: I’m a weird person who likes all the chicago teams excepting football, because i’m a vikings fan. well, as much as i can bring myself to be a fan of football.]

Missed that one. Compared to Teehan's, perhaps?

balk calls
Didn’t see any balks even though there were two that were called. I can understand calling it once, but not twice. Ozzie was absolutely right to go out there after the second one, something needs to be done about these calls by this umpiring crew (review of game tapes, etc) because this is at least the 3rd time this has happened this year alone and in our games, haven’t seen them call anyone else’s games but all these bad calls by one crew is ridiculous.
Does anyone know the history behind Fat Joe West and the Sox?
Why does he continually mess with the Sox? I do not recall a specific incident that would cause such blatant bias against a team.
Is Fat Joe West a Cubs fan? Twins? Fat Joe West and Angel Hernandez are an embarrassment to baseball umpires on every level. Just to touch on Buehrle’s balks, apparently no other umpire in the AL knows how to call a balk, or they don’t know the rules like Fat Joe West and his crew. Ridiculous.
He's terrible, he hates everyone
the guy is really just the worst umpire on the planet. He doesn’t care about getting calls right, nor does he have the ability to make correct calls, especially behind the plate, where he seems like he is just mashing buttons and his hands are flailing and when that little counter thing says three on it he just decides if it’s a strikeout or a walk or if they should continue the at-bat based on how pressing his overbearing prostate is at the moment. Sometimes he confuses “walk” and “balk” because they rhyme.

ideas for heckling Joe West & Angel Hernandez tonight?
The bases were drunk, and I painted the black with my best yakker. But blue squeezed me, and I went full. I came back with my heater, but the stick flares one the other way and chalk flies for two bases. Three earnies! Next thing I know, skipper hooks me and I'm sipping suds with the clubby
More Chins than Chinatown!
One man to a pair of pants out there, Joe!
You don’t have one good eye between the two of you!

Hey, I screamed "Clit Hurdle"
drunkenly for 9 innings a long time ago when the Sox were playing KC and he eventually flipped me off making the catch of the final out.
However, in time, you grow up.
