maloney.adam Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) RR just needs to stop using the same guys in the bullpen soo much. Give them an off day and mix it up a bit. We’re going to have to dip into Schaumburg for reinforcements if RR keeps messing with the bullpen like this.

joejoesox Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 what are the chances that Hahn told Renteria that Grandal is the starter and will get all the starts except 1 or 2 a week? I just have a feeling that Hahn doesn't want it to look like buyers remorse, these guys all have egos and idk. just spitballing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harkness99 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I like Grandal's patience.. but his pitch direction seems shitty and he is not putting the ball in play much. McCann is a much better facilitator of our pitchers and has a hot bat. He needs to be playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) There’s still time to turn the bullpen around and save some of the arms. RR just needs to use some common sense and stop over pitching some of players. Edited September 3, 2020 by maloney.adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCCWS Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 12 minutes ago, brijames1957 said: All it takes at this point is one 5 or 6 game losing streak and your fighting for that last playoff spot. The Sox right now look like a team that could easily lose 5 or 6 in a row. I don't see any urgency from either management or the players. I think the combo of Giolito and Keuchel should prevent that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all because they only have two starters that can give them innings, and one of them has been struggling a bit lately to go deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maloney.adam Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Another option I was thinking is if the Sox don’t want to dip into Schaumburg for bullpen help is why not move Rodon in the bullpen for long relief and Lopez for middle relief and then just go with a 4 man rotation. They really only need 3 quality starters for the playoffs. Cease and Dunning can battle it out for who’s the number 3 starter in the playoffs.

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Win 4 of the next 6 against the Royals/Pirates and the Sox are basically a lock for the playoffs. Once you get in, anything can happen. Especially in this season’s crazy format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Want a fun exercise. Look up Gordon Beckhams OPS over his White Sox years and compare it to Mazara's this year. Thats fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean Rick, Hahn is the one who shoveled this and Parrot in. Our three worst regular players. Training wheels, Hahn will never progress to that level. At least Gar Pax had a cumulative winning record and playoff success. Trying or tanking, White Sox Gar has always sucked, Pax had one shining moment entering decade three. Time to get a professional front office. Edited September 3, 2020 by South Side Hit Men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
