Rowand44 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Didn't see that one coming but I'm all for it. Something fun and new to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 03:32 PM) Yes, but you would have thought the same with Erik Johnson coming into this season. I'll be absolutely shocked if Bassit posts better numbers for a month than EJ did last September...especially when facing teams that are desperate and hungry for wins like that Tigers' line-up. And what would you have thought about Hector Noesi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILMOU Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) I'm excited to see the Hound on the South Side and it looks like it's the night game on WGN. Thought this callup might be a good idea, considering he'd just gotten up to speed again - why wait around for the AFL?

GreenSox Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 he was torched his last start, though wasn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxfrthmmrs Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 YES! I love that he's getting a shot, though I think he can still use some seasoning in AFL before he's ready, and the timing isn't the most ideal since he was hit around pretty bad his last start and now has to face a Detroit team that's on a mission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 03:40 PM) A Tigers beat writer is now saying Sale vs Scherzer in Game 1. The big Kyle Ryan-Chris Bassitt matchup at night...probably. The k zone for Sale on the White Sox website is for the afternoon game, so it looks like your match ups are probably correct.

elrockinMT Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I see now hat Chisox.com has Bassit listed as the starter for the night game of the DH Saturday. I still haven't seen anything official posted by the team though. Sale is now the starter in the day game. Saturday evening game in on WGN and as much as I love to watch Chris Sale pitch it will be fun to see a minor league prospect go for the Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooftop Shots Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 01:14 PM) The next Jose Quintana??? Q only had 9 starts in AA before coming to the bigs to stay. Bassitt has had 14 dating back to last year. In those 14 starts he's got an 1.97 ERA with a 73/31 K/BB rate in 82 innings.....Walks are a bit high but maybe Coop can see something he can fix in that regard. Here's a nice fangraphs article from last year... http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/chris-bas...ching-prospect/ thanks for the post and info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it, but it's not like he's had a big picture worth of starts anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd_city_saint787 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 05:15 PM) I get it, but it's not like he's had a big picture worth of starts anyway. Neither did Q. Bassitt has had 54 starts in the minors, Q had 50, 29 of which were below A+. All of Bassitts starts have been above A+. Sox are pretty good at evaluating pitching, if they think he's ready, I'll accept that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
