Donaldo Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 52 minutes ago, Jake said: I'd agree that Reynaldo looks like he's due for a little bonus rest if the Sox can buy some for him. His velocity varies so much within and between games that I don't know whether I should think it's because he's tired, consciously backing off, or what. I'm thinking dead arm.

Chicago White Sox Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 Can someone explain to me what this epically bad call was? Just finally able to turn the game on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 And... variance continues to smack Lopez in the face. Deep down, I knew it. I didn't want to believe the peripherals, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing that will kill this rebuild is if all the young pitchers bust, as Hahn went the pitching path instead of the hitting path with the rebuild.

Richie Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 20 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: What in his peripherals suggested he’d give up five HR’s tonight though? He had basically been the luckiest BABIP pitcher in the league, giving up a ton of fly balls and had an xFIP over 5.5... I realize xFIP isn't perfect, but that's such a huge gap compared to his sub 4 ERA prior to these last two starts. I'm not saying he won't be a solid MLB pitcher, but this whole narrative of "Lopez is a silver lining" has been a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Also please move Yolmer down in the order. No reason he should be getting so many more at bats that Anderson or Avi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... the pitching situation with our prospects is very, very unsettling right now. You only need 3 or so to really pan out as good starters. It's just frustrating right now, though.

It's where you wonder just how useful Cooper is with the new philosophy of pitching to combat the launch angle revolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttommarello823 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Anyone else think the constant playing around with the batting order hurts the Sox. It seems as if the better teams have a set lineup that remains consistent throughout the season, with minor adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Not sure what's going on with Timmy's swing, but he's letting go with one hand real frequently. Might be nice to give him a break one of next few games to regroup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
