Throwing a baseball at this level and getting a good teams hitters out is not just luck. He's making pitches that get the best hitters in the world out. He's kept the Sox in this game. Not sure he's going to be out there next inning though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 5 minutes ago, CaliSoxFanViaSWside said: Thorpe seemed ready. He did come in a set a White Sox record and pitch 4 straight games going 6 innings and giving up 3 hits or less. Then gets bombed 2 outings in a row and it's 2nd time facing same guys and he's useless forever. Turns out he's hurt or arm weary which could account for the beatings. We got lots of time to figure it out. It's not always worst case scenario just because he doesn't throw hard. He was coming straight from AA. He got by because he isn't Bush and walking everyone. Although it isn't impossible at all to pitch straight from AA but most of the guys who do have great stuff. Thorpe probably would've benefitted pitching AAA games before coming up. But I've always liked guys who can throw strikes so he definitely has a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these complaints about trading Mena for Fletcher, and how terrible that trade was. There were just so many on here that these complaints were being accepted as fact. Well . . . Fletcher seems to be hitting with playing time. Also he plays good defense and has a very good arm. I can remember a couple of very nice assists from earlier in the year, seems he has a very good arm. Mena has an MLB ERA of 12.00. Maybe Fletcher has a better arm than Mena.

vilehoopster Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Really?? You can't keep him in there to try and so he can try to get one more out to give him a chance to get a major league win over the Yankees. I would be more okay with it if you were removing him for a real pitcher, but you're taking him out with two outs in the 5th to bring in Touki? I don't get that.

Not sure he's going to be out there next inning though. 13 baserunners in 4.2 innings, with only 2 strikeouts and 2 earned runs… That’s a 2.31 WHIP. Luck.

Yep, Getz traded a good prospect for Fletcher. Fletcher started out terribly and Getz gave up on him immediately in an already lost season. Vilehoopster should be questioning Getz for not having any faith in Fletcher moreso than Sox fans. Edited August 13 by WhiteSox2023 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mena's one MLB start wasn't enough to declare a victory for Fletcher? I'm sure Vile will say that's enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Benintendi has been making bad plays for 2 years now. Gavin Sheets has made a million bad plays. There is zero reason for Fletcher to not be playing in a 120 loss season.
