White Sox manager Will Venable made a costly mistake in the first inning of the series opener against the Cleveland Guardians on Friday, leading to starting pitcher Noah Schultz’s early exit.

It was an embarrassing moment for Venable because Schultz left not because of injury or because he gave up two runs on three hits, but because of a rule limiting managers or coaches to one mound visit per pitcher per inning. Pitching coach Zach Bove had already spoken to Schultz before Venable.

Any additional mound visit results in the pitcher’s removal from the game. After Venable’s visit, the umpiring crew discussed the situation and ruled that Schultz had to leave the game. He was replaced by David Sandlin.

Fans were quick to share their reactions to the moment.

“What an amateur mistake. That is almost as bad as it gets folks. Sad,” one fan commented.

What Did the White Sox Manager Say About His Ill-Timed Error?​

Speaking to reporters after the game, Venable reflected on the error.

“Yeah, just an inexcusable mistake by me where we had an appeal play that we wanted to execute, and in the urgency of trying to make that happen, just totally lost that we had visited, and obviously that was a mistake. So just messed it up,” Venable said.

The White Sox will hope to end a four-game skid when they continue their three-game series against the Guardians on Saturday. Chicago will start LHP Anthony Kay in Game 2 against Cleveland’s RHP Gavin Williams.
