And maybe up to 50 pitches each time. LOL it ain’t fun to Lose but we will be in the layoffs and hopefully this bullpen gets figured out. Remember it was a major strength coming off last season. No one could have predicted this. I said this back on Feb.24 in the 2021 Plan for Kopech Aand Crochet thread. "I'm a bit skeptical that the pen is a strength because some emerged during the short season and against weak competition. Kopech and Crochet are likely viewed as hedges against the other young relievers experiencing the highs and low of a longer season, stronger opponents and the very nature of the year to year travails of relief pitching in general.

RG23SoxFan Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Just now, chw42 said: Why is he gonna get suspended? Is arguing with the ump after you get ejected suspension worthy now? It is unlikely he gets suspended and if he does so the hell what. They can just treat it as an off day, it isn't like he was going to play in all the remaining games.

South Side Hit Men Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 What did Tim do after he left the dugout? The the White Sox broadcast out of Jerry Springer's studio show anything? All we have in terms of either broadcast is Len Kasper reporting that Tim Anderson was ejected and is likely facing a suspension. Don't have any more information other than that, because Len and DJ were the only two at the game (DJ didn't comment on a suspension, but said you need to be smart in these situations).

South Side Hit Men Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Here is the TA video, not sure if Len saw anything else, but I didn't see any contact with the umpire near the dugout. Hopeful it's just a fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southwest Sider Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Fucking Tim should be allowed to be upset and should not be suspended. Kicked out of the game, fine. But it seems like some shot was super fucked up in this game and you gotta let humans be human. Timmy standing up for his guys. I love that man.

2Deep Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Just a bad loss. I'm glad TLR and TA got tossed.......sometimes u need that. I was at the game and our guys seemed flat The bullpen is a real concern. Bummer looked as if he was pitching scared. He rubbed the mound or his pants after every pitch. His problem is all mental.....guys are getting cheap hits against him and then he loses his shit and starts walking guys. We need bullpen help more then anything else. I've been saying it and will keep saying it......go get kimbrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo_Santiago81 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 MLB should really be looking to suspend plate umpire for his $hitting as$ calls last night any team would lose it with those dumb a$$ calls plus other umpire had to say something to Tim to set him off...did anyone see post-game comments? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone is to Vaughn like some posters have become and I suspect he might be part of the reason. I prefer to evaluate players based on what I see, not what others, including Stone, tell me what to see. IMO, the promotion of Vaughn as being even adequate in the OF is a stretch. Every catch he makes of a pop up is not a great play. He is probably the slowest player on the team and cannot get to balls that most other ML OFers do. After Eloy injured himself reaching over the wall for a home run, Vaughn is a perceived as an exceptional outfielder because he doesn't even try to make those plays. In the process, he avoids errors and injury. Playing it safe is fine, except when a play has to be made...like the ball Vaughn couldn't get to that probably cost Rodon a no-hitter or the umpteen short fly balls that drop in front of Vaughn for base hits. He lacks range in the OF and, like Eloy and Sheets, should never be out there in an important game situation where defense is critical. If Vaughn, Abreu, Sheets,and Eloy are destined for DH/1B, some decisions will need to be made as Cespedes,Colas, and other outfielders are added.

Except for all of your eye test here, Vaughn has graded out as a middle of the pack defensive LF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably should’ve sent Vaughn down a month or so ago when you were clamoring about it! He’s only hit like .350 Since then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s only hit like .350 Since then! He is hitting .255 with 11 HR. Very good for his rookie season. I never thought Vaughn should be sent down. I just don;t see him playing in the OF beyond this season, where he was almost forced to do, like the Sox forced Sheets to play RF for lack of any better option. I would go further and state that I would never trade Vaughn unless it was for another exceptional player, like Buxton.

tray Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I also think Sheets is worth keeping for his LH power , but he lacks the physical tools to play a decent RF. We just have too many guys that fit that profile right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you surprised that a line-up missing Nick, Eloy, Lu, and Grandal would have problems beating teams with good pitching? These MIL pitchers are laying waste to teams with their full complement of hitters, and you think we should handle them with nearly half of our opening day starters out? Some of y'all really need to level set your expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that we are lucky we are in the worst division in MLB. I see Detroit now as the main competition in the division. This may shock everyone, but most teams have a problem beating good teams with good pitching. 9 game lead missing 4 regular players. What you are asking for is the impossible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
