Who is Jose Urquidy and how did his performance spark the White Sox win?

Vinny Rotino 0:00

This is Raheemi Harrison Grody on 1043 The Score. We're happy you joined us. And the the sixth and final installation of Crosstown this year did not have the same whiz-bang that the previous two games had at Wrigley. But my goodness, did Jose Rikidi make Chris Getz look like a genius? Because he just went out there and absolutely shoved. I don't even think you needed Sean Newcomb. I don't know the You needed Grant Taylor. Urkiti was beyond efficient. He absolutely sparkled in his outing, and I think that's a fair word to use. He just mowed him down. He was remarkably uh good with his at-bats that he dominated. I think Craig Counsel said something along those lines. But only 68 pitches did Jose Urkiti throw, and he made every one of them.

Vinny Rotino 0:50

Of them count. I I don't even know what to say. That was you tip your cap, but at the same time, you would like it if the Cubs didn't have fewer hits than failed double plays in the game yesterday. So those are my two biggest takeaways. Urkini went out there and shoved. Nobody could hit except for Tyrone Taylor, and they failed to turn double plays with ground ball pitcher Clay Holmes on the mount.

Marshall Harris 1:14

Jose Architi was not just a revelation as he turned back the hands of time to his Astros we're going to the World Series day. It was

Vinny Rotino 1:22

very Astros, Jose Urquiti. Absolutely.

Marshall Harris 1:25

It's not just that though. It's the way it laid out perfectly for a completely depleted pitching staff on the South Side. And Sean Newcomb did his job. He went the two innings. He did what Brian Hudson could not do. First off, he retired PCA in his first at bat. He didn't just give up, you know, not a home run. He just sat him down.

Vinny Rotino 1:44

Yeah, I mean Sean Newcomb goes two innings and yes, he did do the thing that no other socks pitcher at Wrigley had done before him. But at the same time, after seeing her Katie, I'm like, What did you even need to use Sean Newcomb there? Oh

Marshall Harris 1:57

yes.

Vinny Rotino 1:57

Did you even need to use Sean Newcomb for those first two innings? Couldn't you have saved him too?

Marshall Harris 2:02

68 pitches is very efficient. Understand, in a major league game this season, the man hadn't thrown more than 52 pitches. So I think once you go like third time through the order, you are pressing your luck. He faced one over the minimum. He faced 19 batters.

Vinny Rotino 2:14

But press his luck when he gave up only two hits and had eight strikeouts.

Marshall Harris 2:18

Hey, man. Not just eight strikeouts. He struck out eight of the first 10 batters that he faced. Listen,

Vinny Rotino 2:24

it was it was. You can say it

Marshall Harris 2:26

it didn't have the quote unquote uh I'm make sure I'm quoting you right. Whiz bang? Is that the the terminology you used?

Vinny Rotino 2:31

I do use whiz bang a lot.

Marshall Harris 2:32

Okay, so that's what you called it. But look, nothing was going to have quote unquote whiz bang the way the first two games did, unless, you know, the Cubs walked it off. So by that definition alone, if the White Sox win, there's less quote unquote whiz bang. I I I think you have to give credit where credit is due. When a guy goes out against the second highest scoring offense in baseball and strikes out eight of the first ten batters he faces, that to me is whiz bang. Cause it's like, whoa, all of a sudden this dude is out here looking like Cy Young's ghost. Like what what are we doing?

Vinny Rotino 3:05

Th I mean that was the comp Ray and I went to the game because it was a beautiful day and life is too short and I can't watch every game inside. And I hadn't I'd gone to a Cub's rooftop in May. Catch

Marshall Harris 3:14

me outside, Al.

Vinny Rotino 3:16

And that's exactly it. So I had gone to a Cubs rooftop in May, but that was it. That's the only baseball game I had attended, which is stupid. So I w Ray had tickets and I was like, I'll take the extra tickets. So Ray and I just, you know, saunter on up to our seats and then Ray I don't How do we explain w we just sat there in silence. We didn't even enjoy the game. We didn't get water.

Why did the hosts question using Sean Newcomb in the early innings?

Vinny Rotino 3:38

We didn't get Diet Coke. Nothing. At one point Ray thought about a cut water, but then we're like, I don't know, man. Like

Mark Grody 3:44

I was hoping that there would be something because I am a Cubs fan, that there would be something to celebrate and then I I would then get my drink, my cut water that I was hoping to have.
