Capn12 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I knew this team would be pretty rough this year, but knowing that sure doesn't make it any easier to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I hope Fulmer is good enough to make 30 starts, just to say they tried. He’s a bullpen pitcher, at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirmin' for Yermin Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 02:10 PM) Exit velocity doesn't matter if you don't make contact My exact point. IDK why he is still switch hitting.. I don't care how young he is. He needs to go complete lefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTruth05 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Fulmer has had bad command,but it doesn't help this ump has been real bad today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to go complete lefty. I really don't think he'd do any better as a LHH vs LHP. Give him more time as a righty. In the past, he has been better from the right side than the left.

Dick Allen Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 The amount of times White Sox pitching and defense have let guys get on base without a hit or what should be a hit is a huge problem this homestand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 03:22 PM) Fulmer will be an amazing reliever. With Rodon, Kopech, Gio and Lopez I don't see Fulmer as anything more than back of the rotation arm anyway...he'll be a good long man, and could potentially be a nice setup guy if he can find 2 pitches to locate.

I could be wrong.. but.. prove it They're minor league stats but here you go https://www.baseball-reference.com/register...l&year=2015 .951 OPS as a righty, .753 as a lefty.

He's very good if he only has to pitch an inning or two at a time. Obviously that isn't what we hoped for when the Sox drafted him, but he could still be a valuable contributor on the next good Sox team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that his command generally gets worse as he fatigues during a game, so my hope would be that he can go all out for an inning as a reliever and be elite in that role.
