    2011 White Sox Catch-All Thread

    in Pale Hose Talk

    Posted

    The Sox play the Rays 8 games in April, and the A's 10 games from April 11- June 12.

     

    I'll accept splits from both, but hopefully the Rays are a slow starter this season.

     

    The A's scare me because their starting pitching is tough, and they could be tight, low scoring games.

    Good move, I think. I can see later on in the season getting guys 5 days rest when they can, but for now, they need to minimize Humber's starts. I also could see this coming, since Humber is basically the 7th bullpen arm for the first series.

     

    They weren't really going to go with 6 in the pen for any extended period of time.

    Especially if we're concerned about the weather early in the season, yes. A double header makes things especially hard.

     

    Just about every one of our pitchers gets better on extra rest, more than 5 days actually helps these guys. I think there was one who didn't, but it was an iffy comparison, when I looked last year.

     

    Ok, I may have to come over to your side on this issue. I did look up the Floyd, Buehrle, and Danks's splits, and indeed, they were all much better on 5 days rest over 4 days rest last year. I guess I won't complain either way on this, but I'd rather only see Humber twice over four times. We'll see how it plays out in April.

    Humber is getting lit up by Sox minor leaguers. Brandon Short homered off him, and they've scored at least 4 runs in one inning.

     

    I'm not going to second guess this...if they don't push Humber back to April 9th, they are stupid. They need to lean on the top 4 while Peavy is out.
