Same fan at White Sox game drops two foul balls (Video)

Found September 05, 2012 on Larry Brown Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
TEAMS: Chicago White Sox

From Larry Brown Sports:

Catching a ball at a game has to be one of the greatest thrills a fan can have. I’m speaking out of assumption since I’ve never had the fortune of catching a ball at a game, but it sure looks awesome. Think about how lucky one has to be to even have the opportunity to catch a ball. Out of thousands of fans in attendance, the ball has to be hit to you. From there, you actually have to catch the ball, which is easier said than done. Take for instance what happened with a fan at the White Sox game.

As seen in the video above, one fan at the White Sox-Twins game on Wednesday had not one … but two balls hit to him during the game. And he missed both of them! To make matters worse, two other fans in a section nearby were able to snag balls.

For every story of failure like this one, we have incredible success stories to balance it out. Maybe this fan can get a lesson from the Orioles fan who once snagged three balls in the same game.

Book review: Ozzie’s School of Management

“Whatever Ozzie is now personality-wise comes from his inherent Ozzieness.  None of the people he played with and for could mold that.  There’s only one Say Anything Kid.” -Rick Morrissey, Ozzie’s School of Management When one thinks of successful management techniques, Ozzie Guilllen is not necessarily the first name that comes to mind.  While he brought [...]

Digging Into Chris Sale’s Slider

Via Fangraphs  |  September 04, 2012
One of the bigger pre-season storylines this year was the numerous relievers who were being used in their respective rotations. A number of them struggled, but a few have exceeded expectations. Jeff Samardzija has relied heavily on his split-fingered fastball and has had a solid season; Lance Lynn was an all-star; and then there’s Chris Sale — the player who made the most...

Ozzie Guillen Has Lost His Goddamn Mind On Twitter…Or Was Hacked

Via Busted Coverage  |  September 05, 2012
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg of what has been posted today to Ozzie Guillen’s Twitter account. Yes, Ozzie is a crazy maniac who doesn’t usually make sense in English, but these tweets are more incoherent than usual. Man juices? And there’s so much more. For example: whit. all. this. trafic. lol. but. is. ok. i. going. to. listen. el. tigre. rafael. salsa. program...

Chicago White Sox: Rios goes long in series win

Via isportsweb.com  |  September 05, 2012
After the past weekend’s sweep by the Tigers, it looked like the Chicago White Sox were quickly losing their momentum. Going into Monday, they were tied for first place in the AL Central. Thankfully, today’s 6-2 win against the Minnesota Twins gave them a series win and helped maintain their position. Rios puttin’ it on the board Starter Jake Peavy needed a strong performance...

White Sox Outfield DeWayne Wise Throws Scoreless Inning

Via Ride The Pine  |  September 05, 2012
For a guy that has been on four different teams in the past two seasons, Chicago White Sox outfielder DeWayne Wise sure has a knack for making the highlight reel. Wise was brought in to pitch the 9th inning as his Sox were trailing the Minnesota Twins 18-8.  He shut the Twins out with a double-play ground ball and a pop fly out. His secret pitch? Well, it was also his only pitch...

Twins look to break Chicago skid

Via Fox Sports North  |  September 04, 2012
The Minnesota Twins have typically been a thorn in the Chicago White Sox's side, but not this year. Back in sole possession of first place in the AL Central, the White Sox look to win their seventh straight at home over the Twins on Tuesday night. Prior to this season, Chicago hadn't posted a winning season record against Minnesota since 2005, but a 4-2 victory Monday improved...

What the Kevin Youkilis Trade Means to the White Sox

Via Baseball Reflections  |  September 05, 2012
It is hard to imagine who would be playing third base for the Chicago White Sox right now had general manager Kenny Williams not gone out and gotten proven veteran Kevin Youkilis. Would Omar Vizquel be back in black by now? The Sox started out the season ready to give Brent Morel time to grow into the position. However, a solid team performance in April and a surge in May...

Pitch Location and Swing Angles: Dunn and Bruce

Via Fangraphs  |  September 06, 2012
Last Thursday, I took a stab at predicting how batter’s swing influences their ground ball / fly ball splits. One of the most important retorts to the research (a retort made both in the comments and on The Book blog) was that pitch location was the determining factor of bat angles — what I was attributing to hitter tendencies (at least for hitters who have big GB/FB platoon...
