US Cellular Field / White Sox Game

Is this article correct? 36,000 is a sellout at Commiskey? I could have sworn that place held like 50,000.

I'm sure you guys are tired of reading my junk on the Indians. But for the 3 people on the site that care...

What the heck was Guillen thinking when he left Garland in to pitch to Hafner in the 8th inning? He was up to like 110 pitches and they had a lefty in the pen - Garland is probably going to have to leave the game after Hafner anyhow - why not bring in the lefty?

In the 7th inning, Indians have the bases loaded with 1 out. Blake hits a grounder towards short - Belliard is on 2nd base and he is headed towards third. Its obviously going to be a double play, so Belliard kind of hops over the ball on purpose, trying to distract the Sox SS. Here's my question, what would have happened if he let the ball hit him on the basepaths? I know he's automatically out, but would the run have been allowed to score?

I don't know. . . that would be such a crafty play that I expect there is some rule against it, like the infield fly rule or the rule prohibiting intentionally getting hit by a pitch.

Yeah, I think its rule 7.09 (g)

He'd have to make it look convincing that he didn't let the ball hit him on purpose.

U.S. Cellular Field had about 6,000 seats taken off the upperdeck back in like,2004 or so and holds around
40,000 now. Yes, Ozzie should have brought in the
lefty to face Hafner, pretty dodgy managing if you ask
me.The Indians outplayed them anyway.
