It's a job that fell into his lap one fall day in 2011, when he had zero managerial experience to his name, and his reaction to the offer was the same as a lot of people's reaction to the news that he had taken it: "Are you guys crazy?" Three seasons later, Ventura's job is a much more desirable one than it was back then, and the combination of slow start and heightened expectations mean that the guy who once reluctantly accepted the opportunity is now under significantly more scrutiny than he once was. It didn't help matters that three of the new faces so intrinsically tied to those expectations -- Jeff Samardzija, Melky Cabrera and Adam LaRoche -- each had a less-than-inspiring first week with the White Sox. In a related development, the White Sox started out 0-4 and induced their fair share of panic from the populace, a large segment of which apparently wanted to see the skipper rip his players and pound the dugout rail with fists of rage. "People have said, 'Oh boy, he's really on the hot seat now,'" Ventura said. "Hey, I want to win games even more than outside people want me to win games. But I'm not going to change my personality. I think the thing people probably forget is I played a long time. I would have changed my personality as a player, especially playing in the places where I played, a long time ago." It's a shame, if you're into colorful quotes and vibrant visuals, that the even-keeled temperament of a guy like Ventura is probably the safest, sanest accompaniment to a 162-game season. Such calm, after all, does come in handy when you're clawing your way out of a hole while a couple other clubs in your division have appeared unstoppable early on. "Robin rolls with the punches," leadoff man Adam Eaton said. "His mannerisms are a little different than what the South Side of Chicago fan base is all about, but you need a balance there. He gives us balance." The scales haven't quite balanced out after starting 0-4, but the White Sox have at least won three of their past four, and they have seen some encouraging signs from their pitching staff to talk people down from the ledge: • Chris Sale wasn't just dominant in his 2015 debut Sunday against the Twins; he was dominant without relying much on his slider -- the pitch that can take him to no-hit-type territory when it's working. • Samardzija, coming off a homer-laden spring showing and a dud on Opening Day, screamed into his glove after a four-run second inning Saturday, then finally settled in. Maybe something clicked for the Shark. We'll find out more when he opposes David Price at Comerica Park on Friday. • Jose Quintana spent all winter hearing about how underrated he is, then got torched by a Royals team that has been torching everybody in the early going. He recovered with six sharp innings against the Indians on Tuesday night. • The new-look bullpen has come as advertised. David Robertson has tossed four near-perfect (only one hit and one walk allowed) innings, while Zach Duke has allowed just one run on three hits with two walks in four innings. But there are still issues at the top of the order. Newly signed to a contract extension, Eaton has gotten on base just four times in 34 plate appearances - - not exactly an encouraging leadoff statistic -- and opposing pitchers are aggressively and successfully attacking him with first-pitch strikes. Cabrera's most solid contact to date was the liner that struck the Indians' Carlos Carrasco in the cheek. Aside from that, he's barely been visible, with a .182 average and OBP. The numbers aren't quite as depressing for LaRoche, the cleanup man, as he has gone deep twice and hit a double, but he's also struck out 13 times in 25 at-bats, continuing a career-long pattern of slow starts to the season. Getting zero walks from their Nos. 1 and 2 hitters and hardly any offensive input from Nos. 1, 2 and 4 is frustrating for the Sox on a number of levels, not the least of which is the fact that it gives opposing pitchers little reason to give Jose Abreu anything to work with. He's seen nearly 7 percent fewer pitches in the strike zone than he did last year. This is the early storm Ventura is weathering, and he's doing so his own patient way, even if some outsiders would like to see more outward emotion. "They want blood," Ventura said. "They want to see you rip a guy in the dugout. There have been heated things said, but it's all in here. There's not going to be a video record of it." We'll see how heated it gets if Chicago's top-of-the-order struggles continue. Until then, a reformed roster deserves benefit of the doubt, as does a manager who has finally been given a fighting chance to prove his hiring wasn't so crazy after all. Petricka sent to Triple-A for rehab assignment By Joey Nowak / MLB.com | April 16, 2015 The White Sox have sent right-hander Jake Petricka to Triple-A Charlotte on a rehab assignment. The 26-year-old has been on the disabled list since April 5 (retroactive to March 27) with a right forearm strain. Petricka appeared in five Cactus League games for the Sox this spring, surrendering two runs on five hits in 4 2/3 innings. His last outing came on March 23. The righty went 1-6 with a 2.96 ERA in 73 innings pitched as a rookie last year. Petricka recorded 14 saves and struck out 55, leading all Major League rookies in saves, while ranking third in innings pitched and appearances (67). White Sox thrilled with clubhouse makeover Renovations include more space, updated training and weight rooms By Cash Kruth / MLB.com | April 16, 2015 CHICAGO -- The White Sox home opener last Friday was the first time many players and team personnel walked into the new home clubhouse at U.S. Cellular Field, which underwent its first signification renovation since the ballpark opened in 1991. White Sox senior vice president of communications Scott Reifert entered the new digs with some of the players, who all gave the remodel rave reviews. "I walked in, and I happened to be there when a couple other players came in, and it was a 'Wow!' -- which is what you want," Reifert said. The renovations include new lockers and more space in the clubhouse, a larger weight room, new kitchen and dining area, and updated training, rehab and hydrotherapy rooms. Senior vice president of stadium operations Terry Savarise and senior director of purchasing, construction and maintenance Don Esposito, along with the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority, led the project, taking recommendations from players and looking at newer ballparks around the league. Although U.S. Cellular Field is entering its 25th season, it's among the older ballparks in the American League. "When you look at 1991 and the needs of a Major League team and Major League players at that time, and you look now in 2015 at the needs of a Major League player, they've changed dramatically," Reifert said. "It was time to update the facility to meet those needs." General manager Rick Hahn, manager Robin Ventura and center fielder Adam Eaton were all thrilled with the updates. "They did a good job," Eaton said. "A couple additions here and there and updating the place, so it's good to come here and have a lot nicer stuff." It was a much-needed update that lived up to expectations. "It looks fantastic," Hahn said. "We are thrilled. It's something that was due, and everyone followed through on their promises." Shortstop Alexei Ramirez the constant among the retooled White Sox Colleen Kane, Chicago Tribune | April 16, 2015 CLEVELAND — As the White Sox stripped down their team and rebuilt it over the last few seasons, there has been one constant on the field — Alexei Ramirez starting at shortstop in all but a few games each season.

  • “Robin Ventura Day” Future Ballpark to Be Named After Baseball Star
    NEWS RELEASE October 20, 2004 City declares October 20th “Robin Ventura Day” Future ballpark to be named after baseball star Newly retired professional baseball star Robin Ventura is being honored by the City of Santa Maria, where he and his brothers grew up with their father proudly coaching them how to play the game. Mayor Larry Lavagnino proclaimed October 20th as “Robin Ventura Day in the City of Santa Maria” and at a City Council meeting presented Ventura with a Key to the City. The mayor surprised Ventura and his wife, and the audience, by unveiling a conceptual drawing of the Robin Ventura Youth Baseball Training Park, to be located at the future Rotary Centennial Park. “Robin’s impressive professional accomplishments on the field are surpassed only by his personal accomplishments and kind generosity off the field,” the Mayor said, reading the City proclamation. “…He has been an inspiration to many of us here in Santa Maria as well as a role model for our local youth – and we can only hope for more Robin Ventura type roles for our younger generations to emulate.” Rotary Centennial Park is an 11-acre park now under construction at the corner of Sunrise Drive and South College Drive. The Robin Ventura Youth Baseball Training Park will be focused on pre-Little League players. The Rotary Clubs of Santa Maria Valley are partnering with the City to raise funds for the park and are seeking community support. Ventura was recognized for his charitable contributions to local youth sports programs, local schools, churches and other local non-profit organizations, his support of the Boys and Girls Club of Santa Maria, the DREAM Foundation (a foundation that helps and supports foster children), his personal support of the victims of the 9/11 World Trade Center attack, as well as the countless hours he has spent in donating his time to worthy causes both locally and across the nation.

  • The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball Robert D. Manfred Jr
    The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball Robert D. Manfred Jr., Commissioner 245 Park Avenue 31st Floor New York, NY 10167 March 15, 2019 An Open Letter to Robert Manfred, Commissioner of Major League Baseball Dear Commissioner Manfred, We write to you as leaders of a nationwide movement to end violence against women, to ask that you take firm and appropriate action in disciplining San Francisco Giants CEO and President Larry Baer, for his conduct during a public, physical alterca- tion with his wife, Pam Baer. While Mr. Baer has expressed regret for his behavior, we believe this incident represents more than an embarrassing private quarrel that spilled into public view. It is a test of how seriously Major League Baseball views its responsibility to hold its leaders, as it does with its players, to the highest standards of personal conduct. In 2015, MLB became one of the first major professional sports leagues to adopt a policy on domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse. At the time, you ex- pressed your pride in the baseball community for holding itself to a standard “that re- flects the gravity and the sensitivities of those significant societal issues.” You noted, “we believe that these efforts will foster not only an approach of education and pre- vention but also a united stance against these matters throughout our sport and our communities.” You were right. The incident in question is precedent-setting, and not, as some have asserted, a squabble over a cell phone in which it appears that no laws were broken. Behavior does not have to be criminal in order for it to be wrong and contrary to the standards set by MLB.
