Ok .. Now let's go White Sox and Indians!

It's easy to talk now, but Smoaky should have just got the out at first. We were just counting outs at that point, get the easy out at first.

Yeah I agree
As much as he is elite on D, that was poor decision on his part. You just need outs in that situation

 

[canucksfan]

1-0 good guys! Hawk is hilarious

You always go for the lead runner if you can. He got the ball to Goins in plenty of time. Was Goins' fault for going for the DP and dropping it on the transfer.

 

[trellaine201]

7 relief pitchers used!

Which was really a 10-5 game then blew thru the pen needlessly IMO.

Who pitches tomorrow once the SP is knocked out.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Hawk Harrelson does realize he isn't a member of the White Sox, right? I hate that "we" stuff.

 

[Suntouchable13]

It was a double play ball .. Poorly executed by both Smoak and Goins

Those are tough, though. Maybe Smoak is a little overrated defensively. I have seen too many misplays by him to consider him an excellent defender.

Lowe will be available .. Hawkins should be good to go. Sanchez too

Only Osuna pitched last night out of the 7, and I imagine he's still available for a save tomorrow if absolutely necessary.

That said, since Buehrle is pitching, we might need to use some of the other 6 again tomorrow which might shorten our pen to start the Orioles series on Monday.

Did that inning break Cecil's streak of not giving up an earned run?

considering the guy he pitched to got on by an error I'm going to say no.

It was officially called a fielder's choice plus an error, so I think it was earned.

Was it scored with 2 outs, though?

 

[Koonta]

The replays of that fan interference are hilarious. there is a few people yelling at the guy and a few that looked stunned and a few are glad that the guy did it before they did because they were about to do the same thing.

They really should put pamphlets on the seats or when you buy those tickets be forced to watch an instructional video of what not to do.

how would it be a fielder's choice? Had he got the ball he was throwing it to 1st, but he booted it, there was no choice at all.

play by play calls it a fielding error. Nothing about fielder's choice in there anyway. and the boxscore says 0 ER for Cecil.

That's overkill, IMO.

Just play a 2 minute video on the Jumbotron about 2-5 minutes before gametime and again middle-5th.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Interesting.. The Angels are 4.5 back of the Rangers for the West division ... And they play Texas in a 4 game series to close out the season ... Granted the Astros are still in the way, some interesting things can still happen there

 

[Muston Atthews]

Just keep winning baby

are there signs on the other side of the wall there in the first row, saying don't touch any balls on the field, even if you think it's foul. That might help.

play by play calls it a fielding error. Nothing about fielder's choice in there anyway. and the boxscore says 0 ER for Cecil.

The official scorer always calls a fielders choice on an error involving a different baserunner. It's basic scoring. Same with calling a sac bunt for a player trying to move runners over and reaches on an error.

The runner Cecil got might have scored with 2 outs, which makes any run that scores automatically unearned.

Are you saying that the days of Buehrle going at least 7 are over?

How can they call it a fielders choice when he made an error fielding the ball? Go check the play by play on mlb.com if you want, there was no fielder's choice scored

Are you thinking about the Smoak/Goins play error? Because there was no baserunner involved on the error on the ball Cecil's batter put in play. Barney just booted it.

There was an error before that, so had both plays been made that would have been 3 outs there.

So much for the team not celebrating locking up that WC spot Dickey

 

[Swervin81]

Just don't get hungover like the Royals did.

A fielder's choice is "the act of a fielder who handles a fair grounder and, instead of throwing to first base to put out the batter-runner, throws to another base in an attempt to put out a preceding runner". The second Smoak throws to 2nd, if the runner reaches first safely, it's a fielders choice, unless the runner at second simply beats the throw.

Are you thinking about the Smoak/Goins play error? Because there was no baserunner involved on the error on the ball Cecil's batter put in play. Barney just booted it.

Wait, what? You're not talking about the Smoak-to-Goins error?

The Barney play was called a double, wasn't it? That wasn't an error. Or at least it shouldn't have been. He had no chance on that one.
