I mean, what ump is going to make him speed it up when they aren't sure if he can even shamble all the way to the mound without falling over? He could get away with taking breaks half way there.

Expand Well, Yermin's first month was fun, Billy Hamilton's energy and excitement playing the game especially stands out, Robert's second half...even Goodwin a couple times. Sheets as well. Kimbrel's flop really killed a lot of excitement IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Well, when you have a team that has a bunch of 1B/DH types mixed in with overusing utility guys this is what happens. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Man, all of our core hitters are just not clicking right now. Hopefully getting swept will wake this team and manager up.
