PitchatRisktoZisk Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Bundy is 5-0 against the Sox and we make him look like Cy Young. BAD matchup today. Just win tomorrow and regroup at the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Lynn's fastball is down in velocity and movement according to Savant. Little worrisome since he is 35, but hopefully its because he had no ST. He just isn't dependable at all right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t be less related. “a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result” The day was billed as a celebration of the longevity of Jim Kaat’s career and how that perseverance led ultimately to the HoF. Lynn is pretty much the exact opposite, where he pretty much acknowledges that he doesn’t have a very healthy diet and yet makes no attempt to change his behaviors and yet is seemingly surprised by the dismal results. As someone noted, the worst thing the White Sox did was give him a guaranteed contract at that age. Guys like Keuchel and Lynn are or will be finding themselves without a job because they became complacent and started resting on their laurels instead of working twice as hard to remain at that top level. And Lance Lynn actually had the highest fWAR in the AL from 2019-2021 among qualified starters but is nothing like that same pitcher anymore. But now he looks like one of the worst pitchers in baseball. Edited July 16, 2022 by caulfield12 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Sox to be an elite team we need more quality lefties in our lineup. There are more righty pitchers than lefties. On the other hand, our opponents are throwing 5 to 7 lefty batters against our righty pitchers. We can get away with it for a few games but it catches up with you during the long season.

caulfield12 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Here’s a better irony then. We traded Escobar for Francisco Liriano…the Twins then dealt Escobar for Jhoan Duran and he arguably will be one of the three biggest reasons the Twins end up ahead of the Sox ultimately. Not to mention the fact that we missed on our chances to trade for or sign Escobar last year because of an incorrect read on his quad injury…only to come up with the trade for Cesar Hernandez that screwed the Sox over. And we still don’t have a long-term solution at second base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
