In terms of guilt, Pete Rose is the anti-Buck Weaver/anti-Shoeless Joe Jackson ...... whereas Weaver and Jackson were very likely not guilty of what they were accused of, Pete Rose' guilt grew more and more as time went by. First he said that he never bet on baseball games ...... then he admitted that he bet on baseball games, but insisted that he never specifically bet on Reds games when he played and managed the team ...... then he admitted that he specifically bet on Reds games WHILE he was playing and managing the team. And the only reason why continually made these concessions is because there was literally a paper trail proving that he was indeed guilty of all of these transgressions that he could no longer deny.

I wont argue. If a pro game is questioned, then are results are tainted.

If you know, but do nothing, you are guilty.

Dont give Belicheat cover.

This has nothing to do with my post about Pete Rose. Rose bet on games that he was playing in, and managing in. Shoeless Joe Jackson did everything that he possibly could to not participate in the fixed 1919 World Series (including reporting the entire situation to the team owner, trying to give him the money that was given to him that he didn't ask for in the first place, and telling his manager that he didn't want to play at all in the series before the manager coerced him into playing.) Buck Weaver specifically asked for a separate trial (and was denied) from the other accused players because he wanted nothing to do with the fix, and never took a dime from anyone.

If you are insinuating that a couple of uneducated baseball players in 1919 playing in a time when they had no rights whatsoever in terms of free agency and arbitration should have necessarily immediately gone to the press and made statements about the rumors that they heard about what their teammates were planning and hired lawyers to represent them on the spot, you're living in an extremely unrealistic world.

White Sox Extend Winning Streak to 5 With 4-0 Victory ...... ‘These Guys Believe in Themselves’

(By Lamond Pope)

SAN DIEGO — Sean Burke enjoys pitching at Petco Park.

The Chicago White Sox starter allowed one run over six innings in a Sept. 2024 start at the ballpark. And he was even sharper Saturday, pitching 6 scoreless innings while leading the Sox to a 4-0 victory against the San Diego Padres.

“I just love playing here,” Burke said. “I love San Diego, the environment here, the atmosphere. The stadium being right downtown and right by the water. I just enjoy it here. Good mounds, good crowd. It’s always a good team too. When you are playing a good team, you are playing some of the best in the game and you elevate yourself.”

Burke continued a strong series for Sox starters, following up Noah Schultz’s six scoreless innings Friday with six scoreless of his own. Burke allowed four hits, struck out eight and walked one in the 88-pitch outing in front of the sellout crowd of 42,758, helping the Sox (16-17) extend their season-high winning streak to five games.

“Just a lot of strikes,” manager Will Venable said. “Today was the slider early, got a ton of swing and miss. Had a really nice fastball that got him through the backend of his start. Eighty-eight pitches and 66 strikes, he was in the zone all day, kept them off-balanced. A great job.”

The 8 strikeouts are a season high for Burke, one of which came during a pivotal 5th inning. The Padres were threatening to break a scoreless tie with runners on first and second with one out. Center fielder Tristan Peters made a nice running catch to track down Ramón Laureano’s liner. Burke then struck out Fernando Tatis Jr. to get out of the jam.

“We talked about if we got to that at-bat, we hadn’t shown him anything up and in too much,” Burke said. “We wanted to go spin early because he would probably be aggressive. I tried to get that second fastball a little more up than it did. I saw him swing through it middle so I knew I had room to climb up. I was able to execute that third one.”

White Sox 3rd baseman Miguel Vargas broke the scoreless tie with a 2-run single in the 6th inning.

Peters began the rally in the sixth with a one-out walk. Designated hitter Andrew Benintendi reached on a bunt down the third-base line. Both runners advance on a Munetaka Murakami groundout to first.

With two outs, Vargas blooped a single to right field which brought home Peters and Benintendi.

The Sox tacked on 2 more runs in the seventh inning. Second baseman Chase Meidroth singled and advanced to third on a Sam Antonacci double, the 2nd hit of the night for the left fielder.

The Padres brought the infield in, and catcher Edgar Quero singled to right. Meidroth scored on the hit, making it 3-0. Peters executed a safety squeeze later in the inning, bringing in Antonacci to extend the Sox lead to 4-0.

“You love the longball, but you know you’re not always going to have it,” Venable said. “Today was a great example of that where we grinded at-bats. The bunt was in play there, led to a couple of runs there with the Vargas blooper.

“Had the safety (squeeze) there (in the 7th) and some good situational hitting with Quero as well. Awesome job by the guys to continue to find ways to score.”

The Sox survived a scare in the 9th. The Padres loaded the bases with no outs. Grant Taylor struck out former Sox first baseman/outfielder Gavin Sheets looking following a challenge from Quero in which the call was reversed from a ball to strike 3.

“I knew for sure it was there,” Quero said.

Closer Seranthony Domínguez got Miguel Andujar to fly out to shallow right field and struck out Luis Campusano swinging for his 8th save.

The Sox have had an impressive series, winning the first 2 against one of the top teams in the National League.

“I think for us it’s not about who we’re playing, it’s about playing our game, it’s about committing to the things we believe are important,” Venable said. “These guys continue to bring energy on a daily basis and are able to get good results. It doesn’t matter who we’re playing, these guys believe in themselves and believe in their ability to go out and be competitive."
