hi8is Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Hopefully this is the beginning of a renaissance… the start of a right handed Mark Buehrle career badass motherfucker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falstaff Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 One of the best change up ever was HoF Trevor Hoffman. He was a very soft tosser but was basically unhittable. Johan Santana was another great pitcher with an unhittable change up, he owned the White Sox. I am pumped up to see the Sox playing the youngsters , let's go !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 1 hour ago, Jerry McNertney said: Why not Ky Bush too? I agree. He’s been outstanding this year and being that he’s 24 already I’d like to see him get MLB innings soon. My guess is we’ll see him late next month after the Sox trade Fedde and/or Crochet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 18 hours ago, baseball_gal_aly said: 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. They will all strike out looking as he throws it for a strike. His control is the calling card. As long as there is enough of a speed differentiation he will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoffman actually had a 95 mph fastball before injuries. https://baseballhall.org/hall-of-famers/hoffman-trevor#:~:text=During the 1994 players' strike,reduction for a power closer.During the 1994 players’ strike, Hoffman injured his right shoulder twice in one day while playing sports on the beach. He subsequently saw his fastball velocity wither from 95 mph to just below 90 – a potentially career-ending reduction for a power closer. Looking for an alternative out pitch, Hoffman adopted a discarded change-up grip (one that closely resembled a palmball) from teammate Donnie Elliott. From that day on, his career would be forever changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grinder Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I'm skeptical. I've seen Charlie Brown get the football get pulled from him as he falls on his ass too many times. But I wish him the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitown87 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 The constant negative take on every prospect from the same person/people is getting old AF. plenty of legit reasons to hate this organization, we don’t need to put a negative spin on every. single. prospect. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I know it's a dream come true for the kid and happy for him but am I the only one who would rather not have any of our prospects near this losing environment with this toxic team and that locker room? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
