greg775 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I can only hope the media and fans mock this historically bad team all weekend. Embarrassing mismatch.

elrockinMT Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 At this point in the development of Fulmer and they rebuilding Sox I think you just suck it up with the pitching staff and live with it.

Richie Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 IMO - Fulmer needs to be demoted, not because of any reason pertaining to the team right now. A White Sox starter getting tuned up in 2018 is neither here nor there. However, he HAS to be mentally shot at this point. There's no way he isn't. This is counterproductive. He's not going to figure anything out at this level. This becomes more damaging with every outing. Let him work on his command in Charlotte, get batters out in the process, get him back on-track mentally and bring him back on-board later in the season.

Jake Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 One of the clearest signs that Fulmer is too early on his developmental path is how frequently he doesn't just miss in a location, he misses it 2-4 pitches in a row all in the same place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I think a strong argument can be made to try developing Fuller as a reliever and doing so soon. He can still be valuable coming out of the bullpen and we certainly could use help there. I just don’t see how anyone who has followed Carson’s career could honestly believe he is starting material.

Expand He got lit up in inning 1. What would make you believe he is a reliever? It isn't like he has command of one or two pitches and it's the others that get him in trouble. Until he learns to throw strikes, he blows no matter what you do with him. And on those rare occassions he actually has an idea where the ball is going, he's a pretty good starter.
