zisk Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Good to here. Ramos and Sean Burke should follow after the All star break if they keep playing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to need 2 starters, now. Thorpe starts Tuesday, Cannon throws Wednesday, and then Crochet on Thursday. They just rostered a lefty in Peralta, so maybe Hill gets his walking papers Tuesday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon did a great job in the pen yesterday; why not just leave him there and let him learn for the rest of the season or for a month? Lord knows he's better than the hacks that the Sox have in the pen. The pen is a good way to ease into the league; he can start next season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I think Cannon needs to stay in the 'pen for the rest of 2024. Let Thorpe come up, hopefully not be awful, and actually if they are going youth movement, cut one of the has-beens from the bullpen, and let Nastrini work out of it for now as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrockway Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 uh oh, don't the White Sox know he needs to throw a perfect game at BHam before he's ready? Then pitch another 300 innings against 35-year-old washouts in Charlotte? Poor Drew Thorpe, his career is over before it got a chance to begin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baseball_gal_aly Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Interested to see if the changeup plays at all against MLB hitters. Will imagine the opposing gameplans will be to sit fastball and only swing at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalChiSox Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Congrats to him ....well deserved. BTW Aly...FG has his changeup at 70/70, so I would expect it to work on MLB hitters. Whether his other stuff works remains to be seen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
