I think we have to come to grips with the fact this might have already failed. Moncada and Eloy can be everything we had hoped and more but this might still be caput already because all of the pitchers suck. If they couldn't get this rebuild right there's no way I'm hoping they restart another rebuild with the same clowns in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but it's clear they have not invested in the right coaching staff to deal with so much young pitching at once. And to be fair, even atlanta has struggled with that to a point. They've needed vets. Sox since they lost a true no nonsense pitcher with quintana have been drowning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 2 double steals in two days. This looks like when our DIII played a Juco down in florida and it was 12-0 after three innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper was a hell of a coach, and the cooper/schneider combo worked great for years. It's over. And they should have tripled the coaching staff in prep for all of the young pitchers in 2016. But he has too big of an ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 What's the point of Ricky Renteria. He gets out managed on a daily basis and his teams lack basic baseball fundamentals. I'm not sure why the hell he's here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I see Rodon decided to perform in front of this capacity crowd. This is the most "White Sox" start to a game I have witnessed in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneDog847 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 9 minutes ago, Jack Parkman said: Rodon is seriously looking like a bullpen arm at this point. What he has will work in the bullpen, but what he has most definitely will not work as a starter. This is hyperbole. Rodon is fine as a #4 or #5 starter. The problem lies in thinking that he is or will ever be a top of the rotation arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 So, to be a dead freaking horse, pretty much every one of the outs came via at bats that were 100% slider. He obviously didn't have it, he should prioritize getting out of this inning and stop starting every ab with FB FB and going down 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
