Chicago White Sox

The Barons should be pretty fun to follow if their roster plays out something like this: Lineup: 1B: Elko 2B: Chapelli* SS: Popeye 3B: Ramos LF: Burke CF: Tatum* RF: Veras DH: Gladney CA: Quero# Rotation: Thorpe Eder# Iriarte Bush# Adams

Hot takes at zero games? Not sure what you’re trying to say there, but no one is saying you can’t enjoy how the pitching looked today. I also liked how the pitching looked today! The only difference is you decided to come out guns blazing after a single start and try to clown on people who are worried that Crochet going from basically never to starting before to pitching 120+ innings may not work out health wise. I actually respect your optimism, but your need to constantly justify everything Getz does (even if it means making up your own narratives to support) is a bit bizarre.

Developed him how? Doesn’t he have like 12 total minor league innings to his name, all of which came last year? And Crochet looked amazing today which is great to see. But him going deep in one start doesn’t change the concerns about his ability to handle a significant workload as a starter. If he can go five innings every start over the course of a season that would theoretically be amazing, but it would be unprecedented and likely result in an injury at some point. As such, it’s way too early to make any calls here. I think we can agree we all want this to work, it’s just more of a matter if this approach will work. Me being wrong here would be fantastic though.

Wow three straight K’s to end it and puts us at 11 on the day with no walks!

The offense with 8 K’s & 0 BB’s, so much for “controlling the strike zone on both sides of the ball” in year 2 of Pedro.

Could be and I get that Getz was limited in what he could do, but this team is destined to suck due to a complete lack of offense. And that’s ok as long as they cut bait on the veteran placeholders once prospects prove ready.

Unfortunately it all fell apart in the offseason when Getz decided he wouldn’t even pretend to care about offense.

Never a doubt!

I really don’t like the baby lettering on these New Jerseys, guess I won’t be getting a Maldonado authentic afterall

I’d be using the bench and pinch hit for all three of them (assuming a RH is in).

I love me some Deivi!

I think most Sox fans wanted us to convert him to a starter years ago, although he’s definitely exceeded expectations out the gate

I hope not…let him exit on a high note and don’t push him any further

I said it before, but would feel much better with anyone but Pedro overseeing this conversion to starter. Just don’t think he’s smart enough to balance his workload appropriately vs. trying to win games.

Grifol going to have Crochet throw 100 pitches right out the gate

No doubt Hahn had his PR machine, but Kim Ng also confirmed it

Don’t disagree, but hard to dislike Hahn’s deadline deals. Very out of character for him in terms of quality.

That was KW…Hahn probably had his best one week stretch as GM of the White Sox leading up to last year’s deadline.

I really can’t stand how the broadcast team is going to push Maldonado down our throats, almost feels insulting to the fanbase to think we can’t tell he’s over the hill.

DeJong already in mid season form

Please stop showing Grifol speaking on these broadcasts…thanks

Grifol’s boys run HARD!?!

K

f*** a Tiger!

Only one K for Moncada, but he’ll definitely have a sac bunt during the middle of the game that doesn’t result in a run being scored. Zero chance Eloy gets hurt today.
