Leonard Washington Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) I’ve been so disgusted with the White Sox I haven’t watched much baseball this year, but I’ve followed the box scores and such. question for anyone who has watched charlotte: is colas hot because he’s started to become comfortable with a new approach (that I assume the Sox were trying to implement)? Or is he simply reverting back to old habits that risk him being a ML bust, but rake in the minors. ?

Just my opinion, but he seems to have really improved his approach, in a way where you could almost track what was being worked on based on the results. He went from a ton of contact but not much power into a few weeks where you could really tell he was working on selectivity and taking/walking more. Now he seems to be converting that selectivity into looking for his pitches to drive (to flashy 8-game hit streak, 6HR in 5 games results) in a way that I think is more sustainable. I do think he's legitimately putting something together and not just falling back on his natural power, and everyone involved with his recent development seems to say that he's been very receptive to the adjustments. But I'm personally quite high on him, so I could be biased. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin Sheets is exactly what he is. He's a statue in RF with a decent arm. He's butcher at first. For his size, he doesnt hit nearly enough HRs and he isnt a good enough hitter to get by without hitting those. Colas should be up whenever the next home stand is. There is no more reason to give Sheet consistent playing time. Edited July 1, 2023 by CBJ03 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no more reason to give Sheet consistent playing time. I imagine (and hope) Colas will be up soon, but I was also okay with him being down for a while because 1. there was stuff he needed to work on, and AAA gave him the space to do it and 2. being called a bust for not immediately producing in an environment where an underperforming lineup didn't give him space to work on those things would likely have hurt his confidence and development. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Birmingham suddenly scoring a bunch of runs. They won 11-4. Tatum is a spark hit and 3 walks for him tonight. Mieses 3-5 including 2b HR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 In the Birmingham game Matt Thompson was very solid 5IP 3H 1R 0ER 2bb 6K. He's only given up 3 earnies in his last 3 starts covering 17 innings. 6bb 22K. It's possible he's found something or they're just giving him a ton of time between starts and he's very strong. One concerning note, according to the box score, Popeye left early. Anyone know why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
