Chicago White Sox Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 11 minutes ago, Jake said: Nice step forward for Reynaldo today. I'm glad to see the return of his true curve. Even if it is just a tertiary pitch, it seems to be something he can buy strikes with which is something he needs. Just has to use it enough that batters can have some doubt about what pitch he's going to use in various counts. His curve used to be pretty nasty. FG had it as a 55 / 60 pitch which is plenty good when paired with his fastball. Just for whatever reason he gave up on it completely in exchange for the slider.

Jake Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 There's no doubt that even at full health, Yoan is really just not a very good basestealer. We'll always need to pick our spots with him carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems oddly frequent that guys come through our minor leagues relying on their curveballs and then drop it almost completely upon reaching the majors. That's been true of both Giolito and Lopez.

Jake Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Okay, no need to send Reynaldo back out there for the 7th. Don't let him talk you into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Guys - I think it’s pretty obvious @DirtySox didn’t realize Castillo was catching today. No need to pile on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree let him have a great start but I fear with Banuelos and Despaigne coming they may try to milk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both he and Giolito have made massive turnarounds from last season and it is wonderful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
