South Side Hit Men Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) Looking at the forecast yesterday, it appeared there was a decent chance this or the next game would be postponed. Now the forecast calls for a slight chance of rain late tonight and early tomorrow. Rodon pitched well here in the cold last time, and it will be cold and blustery tonight. Tony left him in for 110 pitches in Cleveland after 114 pitches for the no-no. Carlos' health has prevented him from starting more than 20 games in a year since Obama was president (2016). I hope the Sox are prepared to pull him after 90-100 pitches max tonight, regardless of the score or chance of "a credited win". Tony's job may be to "win today", but it cannot be at the cost of player health. Edited April 28, 2021 by South Side Hit Men 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He forgot this yesterday, from the lineup to the horrific decision to ignore the 2 innings of bad misses from Giolito and leaving him in there when what happened was clearly going to happen Edited April 28, 2021 by Moncada 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

35thstreetswarm Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Flushing last night. Hoping against better judgment that TLR learned something from the blowback to his decision on Giolito (I'm past hoping that he'll kick his addiction to his veteran toys until Engel comes back). Let's get started on winning this series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Friday Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I actually think grandal’s game calling has taken a step forward this year. His bat has been awful, obviously. Underlying metrics seem to believe it’s a fluke, but the shift has really been killing him and it isn’t going away anytime soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Friday Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 The scapegoating of grandal has gotten a little out of hand. I understand it’s just love for the team manifesting itself in weird ways, but if you’re going to have an irrational hate for a stranger try to be less irrational about it. As Steve brule says, it’s for your health. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is our shiny expensive toy...and this toy has a no-refund policy. It better start working eventually... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If $18 million to one player precudes us from signing other good players, then this rebuild has already failed 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
