Dyck:
Before Saturday night’s 3-1 loss to the Indians, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was asked if there was anything different he could try with his White Sox that he hadn’t yet.
“Bring a (blanking) rifle and start shooting,” he said with a hearty laugh.
Give it a try Ozzie.
Just Joking!
No XBHs tonight. Offense took the night off after yesterday’s exhausting 1 XBH game.

In case it’s not obvious, you can tell a lot more about a hitter from one year of data than you can about a pitcher. All this data is from research that Pizza Cutter conducted, which can be found in the links below. If a statistic is not included, the means it did not stabilize over the intervals that Pizza Cutter tested (which was up to 750 PA / BF).
PA = Plate Appearance, BF = Batters Faced
Here’s Ozzie:
“If he signs [with the White Sox] I would be with him for one month in spring training,” Ozzie said. “That would also mean my wife would be there for a month. I don’t think that would be a nice thing to happen.”
You better hope your wife doesn’t read this Ozzie.
