Not that I think he should be starting but...arrgghhhh. Bases loaded, pitcher getting wild and they blow the chance to get back in the ballgame!!

fathom Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Here’s my question...by all accounts, Eloy is totally fine. I don’t believe he was in concussion protocol, so why isn’t he playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's truly amazing. Does Leury not learn at all? He's the most tenured White Sox now. If I watched Civale's efforts pitching to Delmonico & Robert I go up there sitting dead red fastball. If I see spin I take. Leury swings at two breaking balls that would have been balls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't going to drop 50 mil on another 30+ year old SP just to force Reylo or Cease to the pen preseason Grandal has nothing to do with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
