Guardians shut out White Sox 5-0

>> IT WAS A ROUGH NIGHT FOR THE WHITE SOX, SHUT OUT BY THE GUARDIANS, ONLY FIVE TICKETS, TWO ERRORS, LANE THOMAS, THREE RUN HOMER IN THE SIXTH WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH. RED SOX LOSE THEIR 14th GAME IN A ROW AT HOME,@# 5-0. WHITE SOX POSTGAME LIVE, I AM CHUCK GARFIEN, HERE IS WHAT IT IS WITH CLEVELAND GUARDIANS AND THE WHITE SOX IN A CRAZY WAY, ENDED UP GOING RIGHT INTO THEIR WHEELHOUSE. THEIR ROTATION FOR THE YEAR HAS A 4.58 E.R.A. 24th@# IN THE MAJORS. YOU HAVE TO GET TO THE STARTERS, INJURY IN THE SECOND INNING, NOT GOOD. >> Steve: THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT IT IN THE NEW ERA OF BASEBALL, I ALWAYS SAY, ONE OF THE BIGGEST WEAPONS YOU HAVE TO# HAVE IS THE BULLPEN AND YOU CAN COMPETE. 90 PITCHES OR 85 PITCHES, THEY'VE GOT TO CARRY THE LOAD. AT THAT TIME TO WRITE NOW, THE BULLPEN IS A @#VERY, VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE GAME. >> JONATHAN CANNON GOT THE START FOR THE WHITE SOX, THREE RUNS, 5 1/3, FOUR STRIKEOUTS, THAT'S COMING UP. THIS WAS THE STORY OF THE GAME, BEN LIVELY GOES TWO SCORELESS AND THEN, SIX E.R.A. IN HIS LAST @#SIX STARTS, LEAVE THE GAME EARLY BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED. BOTTOM OF THE SECOND, DOMINIC FLETCHER WITH A SHOT UP THE MIDDLE, HIT SLIGHTLY IN THE THIGH AND HE HAD TO LEAVE THE GAME RIGHT AFTER THAT INNING, FORTUNATELY, HE IS GOING TO BE OKAY. THIS LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE A SERIOUS INJURY DOWN ON THE GROUND AND COULDN'T @#GET UP. >> ANY PART OF THIS BALL, HE WOULD BE DONE AND HURT FOR A LITTLE WHILE. ON THE TIE AROUND THE HANDS TIMES@# >> HE'S GOING TO BE OKAY, NOTHING SERIOUS. THINKING, OKAY, THIS IS GOING TO BE AN ADVANTAGE FOR THE WHITE SOX. FOR A WHILE, HE COULDN'T EVEN GET OFF THE FIELD. >> NOWADAYS, IT'S LIKE, COME ON. >> BY THE TIME HE GOT TO THE BULLPEN, NOT NEEDING ANY HELP.@ >> YEAH, HE'S HURT. >> HE THOUGHT HE GOT HIT IN THE KNEE. OH WELL, HE ENDED UP BEING OKAY. >> IF I WAS HIS TEAMMATE, YOU ARE 6'8", FLETCHER HIT A BALL THAT GETS YOU DON'T LIKE @#THAT COME ON. SOMEONE FLY THE HELICOPTER TO THE BALLPARK TO FLY HIM OUT. COME ON. >> IT WAS A FLESH WOUND.@# >> BY THE TIME HE GOT TO THE DUGOUT, HE WAS WALKING UNDER HIS OWN POWER. THEY MIGHT HAVE OVERREACTED IN THE BEGINNING. THE BULLPEN AND YOU THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE AN ADVANTAGE FOR THE WHITE SOX. WHEN YOU HAVE A CLEVELAND BULLPEN THAT IS THIS GOOD, THIS MIGHT HELP OUT THE WHITE SOX TOMORROW, IT IS A DAY GAME, BUT IT IS CLEARLY NOT WHAT THIS WHITE SOX NEEDED AT THIS POINT. >> I DON'T THINK ANY OF THOSE GUYS ARE OVER TROUBLE. THEY WENT DOWN, THE BIG BOYS SHOULD BE READY TOMORROW, CLASE. ONE THING ABOUT IT, BEAUTIFUL BULLPEN, WHEN YOU HAVE A GOOD BULLPEN, YOU ARE@# LIFE AS A MANAGER IS A LOT EASIER. >> THE WHITE SOX BULLPEN HAS STRUGGLED. LET'S MOVE ON TO JONATHAN CANNON, GIVES UP RBI SINGLE IN THE SECOND INNING. GUARDIANS WOULD HAVE SCORED MORE IN THIS INNING, BUT THERE WAS @#A GREAT DOUBLE PLAY MADE JACOB AMAYA, LIMITED THE DAMAGE TO JUST ONE RUN. AFTER A ROUGH GAME FOR AMAYA DEFENSIVELY YESTERDAY, IF THE WHITE SOX WOULD HAVE SCORED A FEW RUNS, THIS WOULD HAVE WEIGHED HEAVILY ON THE GAME. >> I DON'T KNOW HOW EXACTLY @#T THIRD BASE COACH SAYS ANYTHING YOU HAD, IT IS GONE. AS SOON AS HE SWINGS THE BAT, YOU CAN SEE HE WAS RUNNING ALMOST HALFWAY TO HOME PLATE AND COULDN'T COME BACK. >> CANNON, HE SETTLED DOWN AFTER THIS, FOR @#A WHILE, AT LEAST, HE KEPT THE WHITE SOX IN THE GAME. YOU WISH THE WHITE SOX WOULD SCORE SOME RUNS HERE, CANNON GIVES UP IN EARLY RUN AND THEN HE SETTLES DOWN. >> I THINK THE SLIDER VERY WELL, HE GOT ONE THING@#, CONFIDENCE. ANY PITCH IN ANY COUNTS BECAUSE I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN MYSELF. IT IS NICE TO SEE A KID GROWING UP THAT WAY. @# HE PULLS CANNON, GHOST THE BULLPEN. SECOND PITCH BY GUS VARLAND, THREE RUN HOMER AND JUST LIKE THAT, IT IS 4-0. >> YOU KNOW WHAT? THEY COULD HAVE SCORED THIS RUN, IT WAS @#ON HIM. LIKE, FIRST PITCH OME RUN, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT A MANAGER WANTS. YOU BLAME YOURSELF, YOU SHOULD, BUT IF YOU BLAME YOURSELF, MAN, I SHOULDN'T DO THAT, BUT THAT'S PART OF THE GAME. >> 91 PITCHES, @#THEY PULLED HI AND THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE GUARDIANS' SEASON AND THE WHITE SOX SEASON, NUMBER ONE, THE BULLPEN. WHITE SOX HAVE LOST 45 GAMES FROM THEIR RELIEVERS, GUARDIANS HAVE 37 AND 11.@# IF THE WHITE SOX HAD THAT BULLPEN, IT IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT SEASON FOR THE WHITE SOX. WHEN YOU SEE THAT, WHAT GOES THROUGH YOUR MIND? >> IT'S AMAZING, THAT'S WHAT IT IS. THE REASON THE BULLPEN LOOKS LIKE THAT, THE OFFENSE DOESN'T HELP THEM. VERY LITTLE CUSHION @#TO MAKE A COUPLE MISTAKES. EVERY TIME THE BULLPEN MAKES ONE MISTAKE, THEY PAY, THE GAME IS OVER. ALL SEASON LONG, ALMOST THE SAME WAY. >> WE SAW THE DEFENSE MADE BY AMAYA, RAMOS, PLAYING THIRD BASE TODAY, DH'ING YESTERDAY. HOW ABOUT THIS PLAY HE MADE IN THE EIGHTH, OZZIE GUILLEN? @# >> GIVE THIS KID MORE PLAYING TIME. >> AT THIRD? >> YES. HE IS A REAL THIRD BASEMAN, FOR ME, HE'S THE ONLY GUY WHO CAN TAKE THE LOCATION AND USE IT TO GET PEOPLE TO PLAY HIM,@# OF COURSE, HE GOT HURT, I DON'T KNOW, FOR SOME REASON, HE IS MAKING IT HAPPEN. HE GOT THERE DEFENSIVELY AND AUTHENTICALLY, YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WANT IT.@# >> ALL RIGHT, LET'S HEAR FROM GRADY SIZEMORE, BROUGHT TO YOU BY COMCAST BUSINESS, BEYOND FAST. >> WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT SEAN BURKE? >> I THOUGHT HE DID REALLY GOOD, GOOD STUFF, GOOD ARM. I THOUGHT HE HAD A GOOD PRESENCE OUT THERE AND HE MADE SOME GOOD PITCHES. >> [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] @# >> I THOUGHT CANNON DID GOOD TOO, PITCHING ALL AROUND WAS REALLY GOOD TODAY. GOT A FEW OPPORTUNITIES, BUT DIDN'T GET THE HIT WHEN WE NEEDED TO AND DIDN'T MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT. OVERALL, EVERYONE THROUGH WELL OUT THERE, JUST NOT A GOOD DAY FOR US OFFENSIVELY. >> [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] @# >> NOTHING THESE GUYS HAVEN'T GONE THROUGH, HAVEN'T SEEN. THEY GOT A LOT OF HELP OUT OF THE BULLPEN, THEY THROUGH PRETTY WELL. WE HAD A COUPLE OF GOOD SWINGS HERE AND THERE, GOT SOME GUYS ON, BUT NOT THE BIG HIT WHEN GUYS WERE ON AND WEREN'T ABLE TO GRIND. @# THEY WERE PRETTY COMFORTABLE OUT THERE, DOING WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO AND THEY DID A GOOD JOB. >> THE PLAN WAS TO HAVE HIM READY FOR THOMAS, THOMAS HAD TWO GOOD AT-BATS ALREADY. WE ARE HOPING TO GET THROUGH THE INNING WITHOUT @#GETTING TO HIM. I THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD MATCHUP, THE SLIDER WAS BACKED UP RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE, NOT HIS BEST. I THINK THAT IS A GOOD MATCHUP FOR GUS, HE DIDN'T EXECUTE THE PITCH HE WANTED TO. THOMAS HAS BEEN SINGING GOOD, FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS, HE HAS KILLED LESS. >> @#I LOVE SITTING HERE, NOT THERE. BECAUSE, THE OTHER PART OF IT IS THIS, WE ARE JUST WATCHING THIS GAME AND THEY ARE PRIVY TO A LOT MORE INFORMATION THAN WE ARE. THEY PLANNED THIS, LOOKING AHEAD, THOMAS HAS BEEN REALLY GOOD, WE LIKE THE MATCHUP WITH@ VARLAND AND HIM. IF WE HAVE TO DO IT, WE ARE GOING TO DO IT AND THEY DID IT AND HE JUST DIDN'T EXECUTE. BOOM, THREE RUN HOMER. 'WHOEVER YOU BRING, PINCH HITS FOR THE MOVE YOU MAKE SO YOU HAVE A BETTER MOVE. THAT FEELING IS HORRIBLE @# BECAUSE JONATHAN WAS THROWING THE BALL VERY WELL. TWO PITCHES AND THE GAME CHANGED RIGHT AWAY. HITS YOU IN THE STOMACH AND JUST RUNNING AROUND, MAKING SURE YOU DON'T GET HIT IN THE GAME. UNFORTUNATELY,@# LIKE HE SAYS, COUPLE OF OPPORTUNITIES, I DON'T THINK THEY HAD THAT MANY OPPORTUNITIES. BUT HEY, GIVE THE BULLPEN A LOT OF CREDIT BECAUSE THEY
