They have to get him stretched out some, but might be playing with fire doing so. He reminds me so much of Rich Harden. Just make him 5 inning pitcher and hope for 2 runs or less.

Cease has performed better than any other Top 100 MLB prospect that’s pitched this year in AAA. Seriously, check the AAA stats of the top 10 RHP and LHP per MLB pipeline’s list. Some truly atrocious ERAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe have clowns coach the bases. maybe have Hahn and KW and JR throw pies in each others' faces. The kids would love it. Don't we already have one at 3B?

I thought the Charlotte rotation was just a bucket of suck outside of Cease. I'd take any stats from hitters in AAA this year with a massive grain of salt.

I know. There's a huge difference between AAA and MLB though. the hitting is incredibly inflated, and it is making AAA pitching look horrible and hitting look otherworldly. If they're going to do that, they might as well eliminate the AAA level as it serves no purpose for player development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) This tightly wound baseball is going to ruin the game. Aside from all of these injuries to pitchers arms, trying to throw breaking pitches, with virtually no raised seams, the exit velocities, on some of these hard it balls, is going to get a pitcher killed. I hope they decide to go back to the old ball. I think that those are more important considerations than the inflated ERA's.

I meant it is nearly impossible to evaluate if a player is ready or not. Pitchers will never look ready and hitting will look ready nearly immediately.

chitownsportsfan Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Yolmer's OPS back below 600. What a fucking joke he's been this year. How do you go from a 2 WAR player to a negative WAR player in one offseason? He looks completely overmatched at the plate after looking fairly competent for most of his career. Good thing they moved Moncada for him and Madrigal. Talk about counting on eggs that might never hatch.

WBWSF Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 This tanking/losing on purpose is really bad. Whenever you have Banuelos and Covey starting you're basically tanking/losing on purpose. Everybody wants Cease up with the team now. Instead they keep pitching Banuelos and Covey. The White Sox have a tough 7 game road trip next week at Houston and Minnesota. As it stands now, Banuelos and Covey will be starting 4 of those games. It should be ugly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not pitching Banuelos and Covey because they want to. In a perfect world, Kopech and Rodon would be pitching in their spots. Injures have forced them into this situation.
