I mean it is his major league debut

Is he gonna throw harder when it's not his major league debut? Lol. He's 24 already.

He’s not a huge prospect. 4-5 starter at best.

not everyone throws 98

[fathom]

That was a pathetic attempt in RF, should have been closer than that 

[Baron]

That was a horrible throw

Especially after he misread it off the bat and took forever to throw it

[Green Line]

Its just bad luck that we are running into the A’s when they’re hot.  We always seem to have the worst luck running into hot teams!

Masterclass in framing

I'm not sure what's controversial about my original post. What is impressive about Bush, aside from his size? Sorry, but I have zero faith in any of the White Sox prospects at this point. They have earned no benefit of the doubt.

Someday we'll get a major league catcher 

[Harold's Leg Lift]

Amazing he only gave up 1 run.

It's more that there's no reason to judge him after what's probably the most nerve wracking moment of his life

Exactly what I was thinking. If he doesn't find some control, this is going to be a very short debut.

Does he not have a change up?  Don’t think I saw one.

According to pitch tracker, he threw one early on. 89mph and bounced off the plate.

[fathom]

Baldwin had the same average vs LHP and RHP in the minors.  More power vs RHP.

[Paulie4Pres]

Baldwin looks like a high school kid. Lol.

[Paulie4Pres]

Slider doesn't look too shabby.

[Baron]

good play by Vargas at 3rd 

[Harold's Leg Lift]

Much better.  Good Inning, Kid.

[DoUEvenShift]

Nice inning Bush. Looks like all the posters saying he was done with his MLB career after 1IP may have been a bit premature.
