ChiSoxFanMike Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 You're down 2 with a fairly rested bullpen against a division rival. Who should pitch? Yeah, a guy just called up from AAA isn't high in the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sale and Q going, by the time they get to Tuesday, it will almost be a bullpen reset with some needed rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) At the very least, you should think about using Putnam, Jennings or Duke instead of Kahnle. Even Purke has had more time to get comfortable at the big league level. Just don't get it. This whole "must not use Albers/Jones" because we're losing thing...well, we did have an offday yesterday. Kinsler didn't even look like he had any intention of swinging the bat. Edited June 4, 2016 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) This bench is just inexcusable. Our team can't hit RHP and all four bench guys (Shuck, Sands, Rollins, Navarro) have splits that clearly favor LHP. On top of that, two of those guys have no defensive versatility, while Shuck is a below average defender at the multiple OF spots he can play. What makes it even worse is there are plenty of options at AAA that could likely provide more value. If we're not going to use Sands then why not call up Luery Garcia and use him as a pinch runner & late inning defensive replacement? And why not calling up Coats or Hayes over Shuck? Both have better splits against RHP than Shuck in the minors. Coats is likely a better defender in the OF and Hayes the superior defender at 1B. No doubt neither guy is a sure thing, but at least calling up either of them would be attempting to address a weakness. This team is going nowhere if they continue to rely on guys like Avila, Rollins, & Shuck against RHP.

caulfield12 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) Ausmus, the managerial genius...playing run and hit there, and it works with 2 strikes. A bit of luck too on the part of Maybin breaking his bat. Abreu forgetting he has to hold Maybin on...because he'll quickly be at second and out of the DP possibility.

greg775 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) We don't win Central Division games, especially on the road. That's the Sox mojo during the Robin era. That, Robin lovers, is why he needs to go. I'd agree to him staying if we totally switched up our advance scouting department. Detroit, KC and Cleveland know all the Sox weaknesses putting our coaching staff at a vast disadvantage. I know you guys don't like my gambling tips. But bet the house we finish below KC, Cleveland and Detroit. We'll finish ahead of Minnie. This may sound harsh, but we're probably the only reason the Royals will be in it all the way. The way they beat on the Sox ... that's a lot of victories coming up considering they are 5-1 vs. Chicago this year already. p.s. Welcome to reality, Hawk. If you wanna do all road games, the odds are you are gonna call a lot of losses. Edited June 4, 2016 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
