Bob Sacamano Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 It's fine having him go over 100. I'm so glad a lot of people on here aren't the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2016 -> 05:50 PM) Have him go around 100 pitches a game and not put unnecessary stress on the biggest asset in your franchise He was cruising virtually the entire game. Had he been struggling, it'd be different, but I have no problem with his pitch count today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxforlife05 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Sep 5, 2016 -> 04:52 PM) It's fine having him go over 100. I'm so glad a lot of people on here aren't the manager. You fry his elbow early in his career and you simultaneously have destroyed our chances of a quicker rebuild or trying to contend for the next 1-2 seasons. All to give him a bigger workload in meaningless games. Edited September 5, 2016 by soxforlife05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insp Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 5, 2016 -> 05:26 PM) Ever since Avila stopped taking at least 2 strikes and became willing to hit it the other way he has been very good offensively. So what you're saying is that lack of plate discipline is a good thing at least with Avila? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking good pitches to hit is not good plate discipline. He is a huge swing ad miss guy. Giving himself one pitch to hit did not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Sales usage was fine. Besides the White Sox have to play these games like they are in contention. If they were, people would have moaned if he was pulled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insp Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) Nate was doing great, so why not leave him in? What has Robertson done that would cause any reasonable person ti trust him in late innings? Edited September 5, 2016 by Insp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Beck walks two batters after the DP and with two strikes gives up a homer to Upton and then walks a batter after that. This bullpen sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkness99 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Jason jinx benetti "They haven't scored since the 3rd inning" I said to me wife... here we go. Couple pitches later... blam. We got some serious hot garbage pitchers out of our minor leagues. They can't throw strikes and throw tasty breaking balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
