Regardless I can't imagine anyone is thrilled with him climbing rocks out west 24/7 Expand Oh come on, he’s rehabbing at the Sox facility, helping out Dunning, being a good teammate. It is ridiculous to say he is somehow dogging his rehab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm almost to the point where Lopez needs to tinker with new breaking pitches. He should try a splitter and go back to that cutter that worked really well for him last year. I have no idea why he ditched the cutter this year. Edited May 25, 2019 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mharkins Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Without his juice enhanced offense, Welington Castillo not only becomes worthless, but is actually a detriment, to the young White Sox pitching staff. Let’s face it, James McCann is the antithesis of Castillo in virtually every way possible. Tall, fit and athletic vs. short and stocky, with slow reflexes. One works tirelessly on flights (studying opposing hitters for the next series and prepping well thought out game plans)... while the other has a seemingly generic, mindless approach, intended to minimize his need to move behind the plate. McCann has decent but improving framing skills vs Castillo’s framing mindset that seems to revolve around a “less (movement) is more, framing is optional” approach. Please Allow me to be extreme in this vent: Beef is a toxic (rotting carcass of a) catcher... poisoning the team as he stunts the critical development of the young Sox pitching staff. Thanks for indulging me.? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
