It's abundantly clear that Joel Quenneville has been spending more time this summer projecting Blackhawks line combinations than throwing a baseball.

The Hawks coach was tasked with tossing the first pitch before the White Sox-Twins game Wednesday night at Guaranteed Rate Field, and the result was … not good.

Quenneville's pitch bounced well short and wide of the plate and skipped past Sox pitcher Derek Holland as part of Blackhawks Night festivities at the ballpark.
