After underachieving for most of the 2015 season, the South Siders claimed their sixth straight victory Tuesday night by virtue of a 9-4 victory over the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Not only are the White Sox winning, but they are winning by a combined 45-17 margin during a stretch that has pushed them to 48-50 overall. That record leaves the White Sox just 3 1/2 games behind the Minnesota Twins for the second AL Wild Card spot and seemingly jumping over teams by the day in the race for the postseason. Yet, they don't seem very interested in interacting with those standings until absolutely necessary. "Again, as soon as you start paying attention to that, you take your focus off of what's going well," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "Right now, this is all going well and you continue with that. You don't need to pay attention to [the standings]. There's still a lot of baseball left." No truer words were ever spoken by a man who has guided the South Siders from almost certain seller mode, with the non-waiver Trade Deadline approaching Friday, to respectability. There has been a lot of talk about whether it's too late for the White Sox to get into the race for that second Wild Card, but in reality, they have 64 games to play. And business will pick up starting this weekend with the White Sox hosting the Yankees and Rays and then moving on to Kansas City. So, instead of worrying about what others are doing or where they currently reside in the big picture, they simply worry about themselves. "From time to time we check the standings, but it's not something where we put all of our attention," said White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu through interpreter and White Sox Spanish language broadcaster Billy Russo. "Our main focus and our attention is in the daily game. Try to do what we are best at every day. That's the way you can win games and move up in the standings. "We are trying to keep that tempo. Try hard every day, and like I said before, the results have to be with us [at some point]. We've been working so hard to play better." A number of White Sox players have talked about breaks not going their way for much of this season, but even that fact seems to be changing. Abreu picked up a home run Tuesday that only cleared the fence because Red Sox center fielder Mookie Betts caught the ball, fell over the right-center-field wall and the ball came loose when he landed on his upper back in the Boston bullpen. Upon video review following a White Sox challenge, the out call was changed to Abreu's 16th homer. Abreu didn't have much to say about the play postgame, adding he has never had it happen before but the home run was welcome. The White Sox follow a similar low-key approach. Success is appreciated as a team, almost now expected with the talent on this roster, but there's more to achieve. White Sox back Shark for sixth straight win Scott Merkin and Alec Shirkey / MLB.com | July 29, 2015 Melky Cabrera tallied four hits, Jose Abreu went deep and a solid Jeff Samardzija pitched into the ninth inning on Tuesday night as the surging White Sox cruised to a 9-4 win over the Red Sox at Fenway Park. "It's outstanding," said Samardzija of the White Sox sixth straight victory. "The way these guys have been playing behind us pitchers is impressive, not only the runs, but the defense has been outstanding. [Tyler] Saladino had some great plays for me out there. Even our video staff was getting in on the action having a great day, [Mike] Kashirsky showed up today finally. Only took him about 85 games." With the non-waiver Trade Deadline coming on Friday, Samardzija allowed four runs over eight-plus innings, but he pitched a better game than his line indicated, at one point retiring 13 batters in a row. It was the 10th consecutive start in which he pitched seven or more innings. The Red Sox were again done in by a subpar effort from their starting pitcher, as left-hander Wade Miley surrendered seven runs on a season-high 10 hits over 5 2/3 innings. Third baseman Pablo Sandoval connected on a two-run homer in the second inning, his first long ball since June 28, but Boston would not score again until the ninth as it fell to 2-10 since the All-Star break. "I see the guys show up every day, they're doing their best," shortstop Xander Bogaerts said. "The work ethic is there. I don't see anyone loafing around showing less effort. As long as you show up every day and do the best you can, that's all anyone, especially [manager John Farrell] and his staff, can ask for." MOMENTS THAT MATTERED Second verse, same as the first: For the second straight game, the White Sox jumped on a Boston starter in the first inning. They scored four off Joe Kelly on Monday and one-upped themselves with five on Tuesday against Miley. Geovany Soto's two-run double stood as the big hit of the inning, as Chicago has scored 14 first-inning runs over its last four games. "We've seen it happen to us, so we know it can happen. We're still behind in the first-inning race," said White Sox manager Robin Ventura, whose team has been outscored, 74-41, in the opening frame. "They've seen it before, and I think they come out aggressive and if it's in there, go after it. Before, we might not have felt like that inning would continue on. Right now, they feel like it's going to continue until the last guy bats." You can put it on the board... wait… yes: Abreu picked up what might be the oddest home run in recent memory in the sixth inning. The White Sox slugger launched a long fly ball to right-center that was tracked down by center fielder Mookie Betts, who took two steps and leaped into the fence before tumbling over, into the Boston bullpen. As he landed on his upper back the ball came loose, so Ventura challenged what was ruled a catch. The call was overturned on review, giving Abreu homer No. 16 and the White Sox a five-run lead. "The umpires saw the replay and they called it," said Abreu, through interpreter and White Sox Spanish language broadcaster Billy Russo. "I don't have anything more to say. It was a rule." More > Wade stumbles early: Miley gave up five runs in the first and had the Red Sox playing catch-up the entire game. After striking out Adam Eaton to begin the inning, Miley allowed six of the next seven White Sox batters to reach base on five hits (three doubles) and a walk. The Red Sox are now 12-44 this season when their opponent scores first. "Not a lot of command in the first inning," Miley said.

ARTICLES It’s Not About the Money: THE ROLE OF PREFERENCES, COGNITIVE BIASES, AND HEURISTICS AMONG PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES Michael A. McCann† I. INTRODUCTION Professional athletes are often regarded as selfish, greedy, and out-of-touch with regular people. They hire agents who are vilified for negotiating employment contracts that occasionally yield compensation in excess of national gross domestic products.1 Professional athletes are thus commonly assumed to most value economic remuneration, rather than the “love of the game” or some other intangible, romanticized inclination. Lending credibility to this intuition is the rational actor model; a law and economic precept which presupposes that when individuals are presented with a set of choices, they rationally weigh costs and benefits, and select the course of † Assistant Professor of Law, Mississippi College School of Law; LL.M., Harvard Law School; J.D., University of Virginia School of Law; B.A., Georgetown University.

  • Clips for 7-12-10
    MEDIA CLIPS – Jan. 23, 2019 Walker short in next-to-last year on HOF ballot Former slugger receives 54.6 percent of vote; Helton gets 16.5 percent in first year of eligibility Thomas Harding | MLB.com | Jan. 22, 2019 DENVER -- Former Rockies star Larry Walker introduced himself under a different title during his conference call with Denver media on Tuesday: "Fifty-four-point-six here." That's the percentage of voters who checked Walker in his ninth year of 10 on the Baseball Writers' Association of America Hall of Fame ballot. It's a dramatic jump from his previous high, 34.1 percent last year -- an increase of 88 votes. However, he's going to need an 87-vote leap to reach the requisite 75 percent next year, his final season of eligibility. Jayson Stark of the Athletic noted during MLB Network's telecast that the only player to receive a jump of at least 80 votes in successive years was former Reds shortstop Barry Larkin, who was inducted in 2012. But when publicly revealed ballots had him approaching the mid-60s in percentage, Walker admitted feeling excitement he hadn't experienced in past years. "I haven't tuned in most years because there's been no chance of it really happening," Walker said. "It was nice to see this year, to watch and to have some excitement involved with it. "I was on Twitter and saw the percentages that were getting put out there for me. It made it more interesting. I'm thankful to be able to go as high as I was there before the final announcement." When discussing the vote, one must consider who else is on the ballot.

  • Designated Hitters and Subesquent Team Scoring
    DESIGNATED HITTERS AND SUBESQUENT TEAM SCORING PERFORMANCE IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL A RESEARCH PAPER SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF SCIENCE BY SARAH E. CHO DR. HOLMES FINCH – ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA JULY 2020 2 ABSTRACT RESEARCH PAPER: Designated Hitters and Subsequent Team Scoring Performance in Major League Baseball STUDENT: Sarah E. Cho DEGREE: Master of Science COLLEGE: Teachers College DATE: July 2020 PAGES: 27 The Designated Hitter (DH) rule in Major League Baseball (MLB) is a topic of great debate. In the National League (NL), all players take a turn at bat. However, in the American League (AL), a DH usually bats for the pitcher. MLB pitchers typically do not have strong batting averages. The DH rule was created to increase a team’s offense. This study looked at whether there is an apparent difference between the AL and the NL. In theory, a DH will lead to more hits, more runs, and therefore a higher scoring game. This study looked at the average runs per game and total home runs for the AL and NL during the 1998 through 2018 regular seasons. Since the assumptions of parametric multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were not met, a nonparametric analysis was used. The permutation test for multivariate means results showed an apparent difference between the two leagues (p < .05). A quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) was used as a follow up test and showed home runs as the variable driving the difference between the two leagues. Therefore, the AL has better scoring performance than the NL.
