Timmy U Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Uh oh. Who would you give rotation slot to for the rest of the year? Personally, I would say Mason Adams, but Bush needs to be added at the end of the year and Eder and Iriarte are already on the roster. Please not Nastrini.

JoeCredeYes Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Do we have any indication on if it's hip flexor, forearm flexor? Forearm injuries are often a precursor to TJS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s his elbow. They would have said so if it was hip, I would imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 First Kopech, then Crochet, now Thorpe. Sox love TJS obliterating early years of control. They need to sacrifice a goat or something to change the luck. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't checked his velo at the MLB level. Was he trying to add velo in the MLB, I wonder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeCredeYes Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Man, I've been trying to remain positive with this franchise at least in the sense of "how could it get any worse?" "it's always darkest before the dawn" type mindset. This is truly the bottom and least hopeful I've been in my 40 years on this planet. Now to the point of apathy, which is quite sad. Ugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSox2023 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) This team is cursed. Good thing Getz acquired 24 year old Vargas with 5 years of control rather than a promising prospect with full control like the Twins offer and choosing when to call up said prospect. Instead, even if Vargas pans out, he will be wasting service time while Thorpe is healing from his inevitable upcoming TJ surgery.

greg775 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Sad. Seems like a lot of pitchers get hurt. I wonder if pitching all those innings in Little League, Babe Ruth, high school, college, minors make it impossible to make it as a big league pitcher. Arm just can't take all those stressful heaters combined with sliders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleAleSox Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 This is also why I'm not that mad about not signing pitchers to long term deals. Keep them when they are young and cheap and treat them like running backs in the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Any chance the way he throws his change up could put more stress on his elbow? Almost like a fork ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
