4/4 - Sox @ Tigers, 12:10 CDT - Cannon v. Flaherty

[caulfield12]

Jankowski when he was "good" was a .240ish hitter lol.

 

At least Taylor has SOME occasional power.

He should have been out by a mile  major screw up by the Tigers. Lol

[Timmy U]

This is how Baldwin looked in the minors. Surprising pop for his size.

[fathom]

I’m just content every game they don’t get shutout

[fathom]

Jankowski getting this much playing time is insane

[PaleAleSox]

This strikezone is very high and very low.

It would be nice for one Sox middle infield prospect to put up a 2-3 fWAR.

Unfortunately his defense really needs to pick up in order to do that.

Like I said on the last page, only thing I can think of is its because its late March/early April games and he's going to be cut soon anyway.

That's moronic thought process. Lets just play Jankowski a lot, were going to cut him anyways. Right up the White Sox alley.

I didn't say it was a good reason lol just that it's the only thing I can think of.

Edit: you can't really argue that he's in because of his defense because Michael Taylor is here

So we're showcasing Jankowski for a trade? 

More likely is Venable is playing the lineup he trusts most to win as many games as possible...especially in the first half of the season to make a clean break from 2024 thoughts.

[Buehrle>Wood]

Vargas the goat at two hop throws

[PaleAleSox]

That was not a strong throw, John.

[caulfield12]

What is Vargas doing?

Bear claw throw triple bounce...first hop behind the mound.

[PaleAleSox]

It was a nice pick on both sides, though.

No, not showcasing. Just let them take the lumps of playing in non-ideal weather.

[DirtySox]

Vaughn has had to pick some really stinky throws this season.

[T R U]

This is game 6 and ive already seen Vargas severely short hop 2 throws on fairly routine plays at third. Eeesh.

[PaleAleSox]

Has he thrown less than like 6 pitches to anyone yet? 

[caulfield12]

Little dirt strip from plate to mound now gone...pitchers hated it, hearkened back to stadiums 100 years ago.

Approaching 50 pitches and not even 2 IP pitched yet so I would say no

That's why 2B is probably his "ideal" defensive spot.

Or LF 1B DH.

50 pitches lol.

[Buehrle>Wood]

Need not give him anything to hit here

Sadly I don’t think that’s it at all
