Robin Ventura Throws A Nutty, Hawk Is Right There With Him

((HT: MLB.com))

This whole home plate-blocking thing is getting out of hand...

And the manager's challenge was, by the letter of the law, a great idea- even if the rule is silly...

The White Sox had a lead until this play last night in San Francisco

It's just not baseball


And the HQ agrees with Hawk on this one...

Hawk Vs. Brian Kenny On Sabremetrics

((HT: MLB Network))

Hawk Harrelson is one of the biggest homers out there for play-by-play...
And that's why the HQ loves him...

He doesn't take any crap, he gives no quarter, and he's in one direction...
Old school... and that includes statistics...

Hawk has no desire to understand, quantify, or need sabremetrics as part of his diet...
He has his own stat- TWTW- The Will To Win...
An unquantifiable version of "want to..."

So, he went head-to-head with Brian Kenny on fancy numbers versus TWTW

White Sox announcer Hawk Harrelson nearly implodes

And no, it isn't the 1st time the bombastic and slightly off-kilter former player, current color commentator and blatant homer Ken "Hawk" Harrelson has gone off script.

The subject of Harrelson's ire: The back end of a "Hit-by-pitch" fest at Thursday's Tampa Bay Ray/White Sox game.

The said incident happened as a follow up to A.J Pierzynski getting beaned the previous inning. The next time through, when the Rays were at bat, White Sox pitcher Jose Quintana throws one at Ben Zobrist, Quintana immediately gets the "Heave-Ho" from umpire Mark Wegner.

Harrelson had some issues with that.
