White Sox reach 110 losses with 20 games still to go

YOUR LOCAL FORD DEALERS.@# [ MUSIC ] >> WHITE SOX ACTUALLY HAD MORE HITS THAN THE RED SOX, BUT THEY NEEDED MORE RUNS. THAT IS FOR SURE. DAVIS MARTIN GIVES UP ONE RUN OVER SIX INNINGS, BUT MATT FOSTER GIVES UP A TWO-RUN HOMER IN THE SEVENTH @#AND THE WHITE SOX LOSE THEIR 110th GAME 3-1. STILL PINCHING MYSELF. I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M LIVING IN THIS REALITY. >> BY CZARO WORLD. WE TALKED @#BIZARRO WORLD. HE MIGHT HAVE PITCHED IN THE SEVENTH. >> LIFE IS SO MUCH BETTER WHEN YOU SCORE RUNS. >> YEAH, MORE THAN ONE. THAT WAS A PLURAL S. >> YES, SCORE MORE THAN ONE. THEY HAVE THE WORST OFFENSE IN BASEBALL. BACK-TO-BACK WINS. WE HAVEN'T HAD BACK-TO-BACK WINS SINCE LATE JUNE. YOU LOOK AT WHAT @#THEY DID IN BALTIMORE. THEY WON 8-1. IF THEY WERE GOING TO GET WINS, BACK-TO-BACK GAMES, IT WOULD BE ON THE ROAD AND IT WOULD BE TONIGHT. NO, IT'S NOT. >> THEY PLAYED ONE THROUGH NINE IN THE ORDER, WITH SINGLES, LONG BALL. THIS FELT LIKE THE TYPE OF MOMENTUM ON THE ROAD WHERE THEY CAN STAY TOGETHER AND NOT ALL GO BACK TO THEIR HOMES OR APARTMENTS WITH THEIR FAMILIES, BUT @#BE TOGETHER. THIS IS WHERE IT FELT LIKE WE WERE GOING TO GET A WIN STREAK GOING. >> YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT TEAM HAS BEEN LOSING THESE GAMES FOR THE LAST WEEK? >> THE OTHER SOX. >> THE RED SOX. THEY CAME IN AND HAD LOST FIVE IN A ROW AND SCORED EIGHT RUNS. THEY WEREN'T EXACTLY FEELING GOOD OFFENSIVELY EITHER. THAT'S WHY I WAS FEELING POSITIVELY ABOUT THE WHITE SOX, BUT THEN YOU ARE LOOKING @#AT A TEAM THAT HAS HAD A TRACK RECORD SINCE APRIL FOR DOING THIS. THEY NOW HAVE 53 LOSSES THIS YEAR AFTER LEADING. 53 TIMES THEY'VE HAD A LEAD AND END UP LOSING BECAUSE THEY DON'T SCORE ENOUGH RUNS. >> YEAH, THAT COULD BE THE STAT WE'RE ALL GOING @#TO TAKE AWAY FROM THIS YEAR. THE RECORD IS GOING TO SPEAK FOR. WE ARE IN HISTORIC AREA. THAT WILL SPEAK TO ITSELF. THE FACT WE HAVE HAD 53 GAMES WHERE WE LOST WHERE WE HAD THE LEAD FIRST, THIRD, FIFTH, WHATEVER IT IS, IT IS MIND BOGGLING. >> I KEEP SAYING THE WHITE SOX HAVE THE WORST OFFENSE @#IN BASEBALL BY ALMOST 100 RUNS. >> I DON'T KNOW AT THIS POINT. >> IF THEY CAN FINISH NEXT YEAR AT 28th IN OFFENSE, 28th, YOU ARE WINNING 20 MORE GAMES. AS SILLY AS THAT SOUNDS, YOU WILL LOSE 100. YOU JUST FIX THE OFFENSE ENOUGH, YOU CAN WIN GAMES LIKE TONIGHT INSTEAD OF LOSING 3-1. YOU ARE SCORING @#FOUR RUNS AND WINNING THE GAME. THESE ARE JUST WORDS. THEY CAN SAY IT. THEY'VE GOT TO GO AHEAD AND DO IT. TOP OF THE SECOND INNING, ALL RIGHT. GET ON THE BOARD FIRST. THEY DID. THREE HITS WEDNESDAY. A DOUBLE HERE. COOKING HERE IN THE SECOND INNING. >> THIS IS @#WHAT WE SAW TWO NIGHTS AGO. WE SAW WINNING BASEBALL. LEADOFF DOUBLE, WE GET THE GUY TO THIRD. ALL WE NEED IS A BASE HIT. CHUCKIE, WITH TWO OUTS, NICE PIECE OF HITTING RIGHT HERE. BALL UP IN THE ZONE. IT WASN'T MISSED. >> JACOB AMAYA HIS FIRST RBI WITH THE @#WHITE SOX. IT IS 1-0. THE OPTIMIST IN ME IS THINKING, OKAY, THEY ARE ON THEIR WAY TO WINNING AGAIN. >> IT'S, AGAIN, THIRD INNING, WE'LL HAVE ATOP THE ORDER. HERE IS WHERE WE PUT A SECOND ONE ON, THIRD ONE ON, MAYBE A FOURTH ONE ON AND IT JUST DIDN'T QUITE HAPPEN. >> YEAH, DAVIS MARTIN WHO HAS NOT EXACTLY HAD GOOD RUN SUPPORT THIS @#YEAR FELL VICTIM ONCE AGAIN. RECAP BROUGHT TO YOU BY LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE. ONE RUN, SIX HITS, THREE INNINGS, THREE STRIKEOUTS AS YOU PUT IT. WHAT KIND OF CONTACT WAS HE GETTING FOR THE MOST PART? >> IT WAS WEAK CONTACT. I FEEL THE LAST THREE STARTS WHERE THERE HAS BEEN ONE OR TWO BALLS HIT PRETTY HARD, IT REALLY FEELS LIKE THE BALLS THAT ARE OUT ARE @#HIT HARDER THAN THE BALLS THAT ARE NOT. HE HAD SO MANY OFF THE END OF THE BAT, SO MANY JAM SHOTS THAT HE WAS FIELDING HIS POSITION LIKE GREG MADDUX. WE TALKED ABOUT THE LAST TWO STARTS ONLY ONE WALK. ONLY ONE WALK TONIGHT AS WELL. WHEN YOU CAN FIELD YOUR POSITION, WHEN YOU CAN @#THROW MULTIPLE PITCHES FOR STRIKES INSIDE, OUTSIDE, HIGH OR LOW, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME SUCCESS. >> THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING TAKE. WE SAW THREE BALLS TAPPED IN FRONT OF HIM AND SAW HIM HIT TWO GUYS ON THE BACK FOOT. >> THOSE WERE ALSO TO START THE INNING. >> YEAH. >> THEN, THERE'S A GROUND BALL DOUBLE PLAY THAT IT IS A BASE HIT TOWARDS ONE RUN @#AND THEN WHAT DOES HE DO? GROUND BALL DOUBLE PLAY. >> RIGHT. THERE'S ANOTHER ONE. >> I DON'T KNOW. I'M TRYING TO THINK. THAT'S FOUR PUT OUTS BY MARTIN. >> I WISH HE WOULD DO THAT MORE. IF YOU ARE LOOKING TOO COMFORTABLE, I'M NOT AFRAID TO DOINK IT BECAUSE I KNOW I'M GOING TO GET THE NEXT GUY OUT. >> I LOVE @#THE WAY HE PITCHES, HIS DEMEANOR ON THE MOUND. HE HAS A BULLDOG MENTALITY AND BIG FAN OF DAVIS MARTIN. HE JUST NEEDS SOME -- >> RUNS. >> YEAH, IT'S BEEN REALLY BAD. THE WHITE SOX SCORED EIGHT RUNS ON 15 HITS AGAINST THE ORIOLES ON WEDNESDAY. MARTIN HAS NOT GOTTEN ANY RUN SUPPORT. LET'S SHOW YOU WHAT @#WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING AT HIS LAST -- I THINK IT'S HIS LAST FIVE STARTS. ACTUALLY, YOU CAN GO THE LAST SIX STARTS. HERE IS THE OFFENSE WHAT THEY ARE DOING. NOT MUCH AGAINST NICK PIVETTA AND HE NEEDED A MUCH BETTER OUTCOME THAN THIS. >> PIVETTA WAS ONE OF THOSE EFFECTIVELY WILD -- HE'S @#BEEN STRUGGLING COMING INTO THIS GAME LAST COUPLE OUTINGS NOT GOOD AT ALL AND THE BALLS THAT WERE UP, THE BALLS THAT WERE OVER THE MIDDLE ARE BALLS WE HAVE SEEN TOO OFTEN POP-UP, DRIVEN TO THE WARNING TRACK, BUT NOT DRIVEN OUT AND HARD AND NEVER BACK TO BACK TO BACK. >> YEAH. THERE'S A DOUBLE PLAY. THAT'S @#KIND OF A BACKBREAKER. I'M LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS HERE. IN HIS LAST SEVEN STARTS, DO YOU WANT TO GUESS HOW MANY RUNS HAVE SCORED FOR DAVIS MARTIN LAST SEVEN STARTS? I'M GOING TO SAY SEVEN RUNS. >> 14. THAT'S REALLY BAD. THAT'S STILL TWO A GAME. THE FACT THAT -- @#WHEN HE GIVE UP ONE RUN, WHEN HE GIVES UP TWO RUNS, TO WALK OUT OF A GAME KNOWING THAT MORE THAN LIKELY YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE BECAUSE HIS OFFENSE HAS NOT FOUND A WAY TO SCORE. THAT HAS TO BE DISHEARTENING. TO HIS CREDIT, WHAT YOU WERE SAYING HE'S BEEN A BULLDOG OUT THERE AND HAS A @#SMILE ON HIS FACE. HE IS OUT THERE BEING THAT TEAMMATE YOU WANT AND A POSITION PLAYER WHEN YOU HAVE SOMEONE LIKE THAT ON THE MOUND HIGH FIVING YOU AND PICKING YOU UP, THAT'S THE GUY YOU PLAY HARD FOR. >> WE SAW HIS LAST SIX STARTS WITH AN AVERAGE OFFENSE, AVERAGE BULLPEN. HE'S 5-0 @#WITH A NO DECISION. HE'S MAYBE EVEN 6-0 WITH A NO DECISION, BUT INSTEAD WHAT IS HE? HE HASN'T GOT A WIN YET. HE HAS AN E.R.A. I BELIEVE LOW 3.00s. >> IT WAS A 3.26 GOING INTO THE GAME. THIS IS A GUY PROVING EVERY TIME HE @#GETS OUT THERE, HE'LL GET THREE MORE STARTS. FOR THREE MORE, HE IS PROVING HE'LL BE ONE OF THOSE GUYS IN THE ROTATION IN 2025. >> SURE. BOTTOM OF THE SEVENTH INNING, MATT FOSTER COMES IN AND THERE'S ONE OUT. YOU HAVE ENMANUEL VALDEZ UP AND THIS IS A BATTLE. 12 PITCHES, A WHOLE LOT OF FOUL BALLS. A WALK FIRST. THEN, @#HE GIVES UP THE TWO-RUN HOMER HERE TO RAFAELA AND THAT'S A THREE-RUN BALL GAME. >> AS A HITTER, THIS IS KIND OF THE HANGING SLIDER. 0-0 COUNT. MOST HITTERS ARE THINKING 0-0. I'M LOOKING DEAD RED. THAT IS PRETTY STRAIGHT. AMID THE SCOUTING REPORT, IF HE FALLS BEHIND, IF @#HE WALKS SOMEONE, LOOK FOR THE SLIDER. WHEN HE GUESS AND GUESS RIGHT, HARDEST THING IS TO PUT A GOOD SWING ON IT. HE PUT A GOOD SWING ON IT. >> THE BULLPEN HAS NOW LOST 45 GAMES. THEY ARE 11-45 ON THE SEASON. TO COMPARE THAT TO SAY THE GUARDIANS WHO HAVE PROBABLY THE BEST BULLPEN IN BASEBALL, @#THE GUARDIANS BULLPEN IS 36-11. >> YEAH. >> 36 AND 11, 11 AND 45. LET'S HEAR FROM GRADY SIZEMORE BROUGHT TO YOU BY COMCAST BUSINESS BEYOND. >> IT KEPT US IN THE GAME. THREW REALLY WELL. WE'RE HAPPY WITH THAT. CONTINUED TO GO OUT THERE AND HAVE GOOD STARTS @#AND KEEP US THE GAME. >> HE'S BEEN -- EVERY TIME HE GOES OUT, HE COMPETES AND KEEPS US IN THE GAME AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD GAME ALL AROUND. A GOOD PITCHING BATTLE BETWEEN BOTH SIDES AND NOT A LOT OF HITS EITHER WAY. IT REALLY CAME DOWN TO @#A GOOD SWING BY THEM. >> EPIC 12-PITCH AT-BAT. >> YEAH, I THINK THAT WAS PROBABLY THE KEY AT-BAT AND 12 PITCHES MAKING HIM WORK, TIRING HIM OUT AND SET IT UP FOR THE NEXT GUY AND @#THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IN THINGS. >> WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN FROM DAVIS? >> EVERYTHING HAS BEEN GREAT. THROWING STRIKES, USING ALL HIS PITCHES, BEING AGGRESSIVE. HE'S GETTING DEEP INTO THE GAME AND JUST REALLY CONTROLLING THE ZONE AND EVERY TIME HE GOES OUT THERE, HE @#KEEPS US IN THE GAM ANOTHER GUY -- >> WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP HIM -- RIGHT NOW KEEP HIM FROM GETTING TOO HIGH UP. HE'S STILL COMING BACK FROM TOMMY JOHN. WE WANT TO PROTECT HIM AS MUCH AS WE CAN. >> WHAT DID YOU SEE -- >> I THOUGHT HE DID -- YEAH, USED THE BREAKING BALL REALLY WELL. KEPT GUYS @#OFF THE HEATER BY BEING EFFECTIVE WITH THE BREAKING BALL. IT'S A GOOD PITCH. IT'S GOT A LOT OF DEPTH TO IT AND DOING DIFFERENT THINGS. IT WAS BREAKING HARD. I THINK THAT'S WHAT DID HE TONIGHT. HE KEPT US OFF THE HEATER WITH THE BAT AND IT WAS A WELL- PITCHED GAME, GOOD DEFENSE ON BOTH SIDES, JUST CAME @#DOWN TO THAT SEVENTH INNING. >> IF YOU'RE GRADY SIZEMORE, YOU'RE SAYING ONCE AGAIN -- WHAT IS HE GOING TO SAY? WE'RE NOT SCORING ENOUGH AND OUR BULLPEN. >> GIVE ALL THE CREDIT TO DAVIS MARTIN. THAT'S WHERE IT SHOULD GO AND
