southsider2k5 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Chicago White SoxVerified account @whitesox 19s19 seconds ago Prior to tonight’s game, the #WhiteSox placed RHP Jake Petricka on the 10-day DL (retroactive to 9/5) with a right elbow strain.

Dick Allen Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) They need to name the DL after him. But he probably should be shut down. He isn't going to accomplish anything the next few weeks.. They need to let the Becks and Coveys , Frys and Bummers cover the bullpen innings vs. SF. SF and Detroit are huge series. More than a couple of wins is going to kill them for the top pick. Edited September 7, 2017 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid we're gonna win the majority of those games with Rodon/Lopez/Giolito facing those offenses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoedairy Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Is Petricka done or was this just a bad year due to injuries? Wondering if hes someone they are counting on to be in the bullpen next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me if he didn't pitch again this year. Lopez is 0-3 and both he and Giolito are capable of getting lit up or the Sox offense shuts down. And there's always the bullpen to the rescue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if hes someone they are counting on to be in the bullpen next year. Probably will be back next year due to them having almost no one locked up in the pen. Putnam however I would 100% expect to be non-tendered since he will miss all of next year anyway.

Wondering if hes someone they are counting on to be in the bullpen next year. Petricka's been in the majors for 5 years, and has yet to add a season that could be described as good. I guess the Sox will stick with him - someone has to pitch; but if 40 man spots get scarce, they should leave him off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was our most reliable reliever over that span, even if he's not someone you'd want on a contending team. On a relative basis, I've always liked him because he's better than the other garbage we would throw out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petricka had 67 and 62 appearances in '14 and '15, Putnam had 49 each in back to back seasons. Jones is even a stretch at 65 and 70.

Jones also only appeared in two games in 2014 and 19 in 2015. Robin was the manager in those years. Perhaps the 135 appearances the previous two years plus the number of times he had to warm up had something to do with it. My point was how many times did we see Ventura use three, at times four pitchers to get through an inning? He was strictly by the book / match-up's as a manager. And it hurt him and the team in my opinion. If you are a major league pitcher you should be able to get left handers out, right handers out, even if a guy hits with his feet...you should be able to get them out. But with Robin the vast majority of the time he never gave his guys a chance to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leader Cleveland had 573. 2015 had the White Sox dead last (#30) at 414, trailing the leading Colorado who had 584. 2016 the White Sox were #24 again with 481. The irony of course is that once Ventura left in 2017 the Sox current ranking through right now is #14. Both in appearances by individuals and by team rankings, the Sox were super low in bullpen usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones, Petricka, and Putnam are injury prone relievers. Putnam, as far as I'm aware, has never finished a season healthy, and Jones has missed essentially two full years. Great relievers when healthy, but healthy doesn't seem to last long. Eventually, the injuries will take their toll and those guys will lose their effectiveness as a result.
