oldsox Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Two months into the season and he has allowed right around 100 baserunners. I don't know what the Sox record is, but Early Wynn was in the 220 range for a couple of seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Hahn did such a great job acquiring depth that his only possible replacement in the minors is out for the year with TJ. Feels like we are in for quite the end of a career for Lynn this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Stuff like today is why Ozzie was so pissed at him for showing up Moncada after making an error. You can’t be throwing BP and bitching about the defense. and I get it that it is extra pitches on his arm but dude everything is bad right now 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopa1219 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 They should DFA him post deadline when they decide to sell. It will send a message to the young players that this is what happens when you can’t do what is expected of you and when you constantly s%*# the bed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kids Can Play Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 We are talking about a 36 year pitcher that is starting to decline quickly. Some pitchers still can be effective at 36, but those are the ones that stay in great shape as they get older. Lynn's other problem is he never really developed other solid secondary pitches and relied too much on his fastball. Now as he got older and lost velocity, as well as the accuracy to locate his FB, you see why he is getting hit so hard. The last two years of Lynn being on the Sox, he had a WHIP of 1.07 in 2021 and 1.14 in 2022. This year after today his WHIP is 1.51. Of the 70 qualified starting pitchers in MLB with at least 10 starts, Lynn is 67th. The worst part is, Lynn is the highest paid player on the Sox at 18.5 million. The Sox have a club option on him for 2024, which is either exercise the 1 million dollar team buyout or pay the man 18 million at 37 years old. Then you have to hope by the trade deadline in 2024, you can move him before he becomes an UFA in 2025. Good luck on that! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sincerely pray they can trade him at this deadline and dump his sorry BIG ass! If he keeps pitching like this though, the prospects will be in Low or High A. It would have to be a playoff team with some injuries with their starting rotation willing to take a shot...hoping for the proverbial "Let's Hope to Catch Lighting in a Bottle!"

South Side Hit Men Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) I only caught a few innings today, but I would have loved to have seen clips of Yoan pounding Lance Lynn's face to the point he'd have to breathe through a tube into next year before the swelling got to the point where doctors could perform reconstructive face surgery.

tray Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 DFA Lynn and try ReyLo as the 5th starter while searching on the scrap heap for a replacement. Lynn is not going to work his way into playing condition this season and that should have been determined prior to or during Spring Training. Lynn lacks balance on the mound. He falls off the rubber after pitches and does not hit the spots where he is supposed to throw. He's toast. An almost guaranteed L every time his spot comes up in the rotation. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Not sure anyone is in the market for a 36 year old starting pitcher with no regard for his health and upkeep, who also can't get guys out currently, and is making 18.5 mil this season. I'm also pretty sure Lynn's salary in 2024 will be 1 million, because he'll be shitcanned off of any MLB roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
