flavum Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) The game is scheduled for 1:10. Maybe they get a window to play? Looks like they can start on time a play a couple hours. Edited June 26, 2021 by flavum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Watching a more detailed forecast, and I'm less optimistic of them playing today. There should be a lot of dry hours on Sunday. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Really wish they'd sit Abreu down for a game or 2 and see how he feels after, he's not doing anyone any favors playing through pain, he's certainly not helping the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 The lack of willingness to shake things up is starting to piss me off. Why is Yermin playing today but sitting yesterday against a lefty? Why is Gonzalez on this roster? Why was Collins playing yesterday against a lefty. So dumb. This team is sinking and needs help fast. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Mercedes in against a righty. Just for perspective, he’s put up a -7 wRC+ against RHP in 38 plate appearances this month. I have no idea what the organization’s plan is with Yermin at this point other than close their eyes and hope he magically discovers his April production. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Collins also catches Giolito's starts. I understand I hold a minority opinion, but this is one of the few things the team is doing I understand and support. The starting pitching is the only thing keeping this team afloat. It also appears the other three starters are comfortable throwing to Grandal. The platoon advantage for a single spot in the lineup is not as important as the team's starter. I agree Grandal's health and hitting has improved, and he should play 1B or DH more games, like he did under Ricky last season. For load management, 95-100 games caught plus additional 1B or DH work is reasonable for a catcher in his 30s to keep him fresh and healthy. They should be sitting Abreu, Anderson and Moncada 2-3 games a month for regular rest, but they currently only sit when injured, which becomes more likely if they do not get regular rest days.

Expand I’m not asking for much… Both burger and sheets are on the 40 man and have earned a shot. I’m not opposed to giving Beckham a shot either. Gonzalez is an easy option, and at this point, I think a couple weeks about bats in AAA for Yermin makes too much sense. Really don’t understand the reluctance to try some other things.

Greg Hibbard Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I’m guessing that Yermin plays when one of the two catchers is off at DH now? Surely Grandal/Collins each need some days off. My other theory is that TLR may be setting him up for failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
