Dick Allen Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Foster must have had something going on whether they thought his workload was too much recently or his falling off the mound again is some sort of injury, but if it was that, they would probably have had a trainer out there. I did find it out that as the inning began and Foster had to face at least 3 batters, they had Ruiz and Gonzalez warming up. I figured if it got to the point they had to come in the game would be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did I say that was actually wrong? Why don’t you try facing that, instead of just slinging insults? We wouldn’t be going to the playoffs in a normal year. We won’t be going far in them this year. However, us making it helps keep our totally dreadful manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s just a thing he does to try and throw inside to lefties, and sometimes he loses his balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a good point, unless Joe went to the mound and had to make a decision with an injured Foster. Cooper still plays a role in terms of working with the bullpen catcher and pitchers to determine who is available and who is not. Still haven't heard a reason the past decade why he is still here. Gonzalez needs more time to warm up than a typical reliever. Colome was the first option, if he doesn't have back spasms, and or Robert caught the ball he should have near the wall, ballgame is likely the White Sox'. If Bummer returns and with Crochet's emergence, the Sox still have one of the best bullpens in the game. The starters need to get to the sixth. I remember when everyone crapped the bed on WSI against Cleveland toward the end of the 2005 season, Joe Crede won it with an extra inning game and then went on to roll from then on. Then again, they had four veteran starters, this team has one and an emerging starter. Lopez is their third best starter in September, against higher quality opponents than Dunning or Cease faced, likely will be bypassed if the Sox need a forth playoff starter. At least he has played well enough to make the roster. Edited September 23, 2020 by South Side Hit Men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, hate seeing them lose, but this is the week to play bad vs. the alternative. Going to try to find the full Ricky Renteria press conference after going out for a walk to blow off some steam and burn off the two beer calories I had today. Cheers Dick Allen, remember you from WSI, glad to see you are still following the team closely and posting here.

Dick Allen Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) The thing is the players love Renteria. That is a big positive. His bullpen management, one of a major league manager’s biggest responsibilities leaves a lot to be desired. Colome gets hurt, but in the 10th inning with the game on the line and Jose Ramirez at the plate, you have Ruiz out there and are pitching to him....As Hawk would say, you have got to be bleepin me. Still in 1st. Edited September 23, 2020 by Dick Allen 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maloney.adam Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 This new rule for putting a base runner on 2nd base in extra innings is a terrible rule and isn’t fair. It’s like giving another team an advantage and doesn’t make sense whatsoever. I think MLB should’ve just cancelled the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
