From the White Sox 9-5 win over the Red Sox back on the 28th...
((HT: Boston Globe/Kilgore))
A confluence of other relievers’ unavailability made shortstop Nick Green the choice. In the third inning, as the White Sox battered Tazawa, manager Terry Francona found Green in the dugout and told him he may have to pitch.
Green and Rocco Baldelli escaped to the batting cage in the tunnel between the dugout and clubhouse. Green threw him three different fastballs, but Baldelli forbade curveballs. “I didn’t have a cup on,’’ Baldelli said.
Green tried a cutter in the impromptu warm-up.
“It didn’t cut,’’ Baldelli said. “I said, ‘Don’t do that.’ ’’
In his career, Green had played every infield and outfield spot. After this season, he wants to pursue catching in an effort to extend his career - what team couldn’t use a fielder who could also serve as an emergency catcher?
