Capn12 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Only Cincinnati is worse vRHP, in OPS. A known weakness of the team, which basically went completely ignored in the offseason. But we got an injured Joe Kelly! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white sox have never given a fuck about fundamentals. Their brand of baseball is based on 3 months in the summer when the ball blows out to left. In the spring/fall they look very flawed. In June when everyone starts banging the ball out they will look invincible for periods of time. This is a flawed team. If I was any of the AL Central teams not named the Royals, I would think I have a chance. Lift and pull. See 2000-2008 Sox baseball. It worked one magical year when we had the pitching. On a personal level, that's why the Royals were so fun to watch those two years...the complete opposite of Sox modus operandi in terms of fundamentals and execution, defense, speed, making contact, keeping the line moving with singles and doubles, shutdown pen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't have good stuff today and didn't get destroyed which shows some progress for him. Obviously if he looks like this consistently it's a problem but for a day where he clearly didn't have it, it's nice he was able to keep us around at least.

chw42 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 The 3 1 run wins on the home stand bought us the ability to lose a few on this road trip, but the offense can't continue to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Detroit pen out to undo Pineda's start... Once again, the Indians scrap and get guys like Stephan in Rule 5. We have to overspend for Graveman and the oft injured Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
