Doesn't it just mean the pitcher bats the rest of the game? You give up the DH spot if the DH goes and plays defense. So yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People always say that you can't DH the other catcher. The chances of McCann getting injured are pretty slim. Roll the damn dice and play them both. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would really hurt with an early injury, as 2-3 PH attempts would deplete the bench vs. a likely 4 or 5% chance a pitcher would reach base. Also impacts bullpen management in a close game, replacing pitchers due to pinch hitting vs. pitching considerations. The 2020 extra inning rules makes proceeding with the backup catcher at DH slightly more palatable, as the likelihood of a game beyond the 10th/11th inning is reduced, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention we could always swap TA7 to catch and throw Leury at short in an emergency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Friday Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I was excited to see Moncada today. Probably our best player when he’s right. And he looked right finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gusguyman Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Fun pitching matchup tonight. I've got a good feeling Giolito will have his A game tonight. Mize might keep up for 4-5 but I think we will break him open before his night is through. EDIT: My good feeling was probably the fact that he has been on fire for 4 starts and I realized that without realizing that lol. Not exactly a hot take Edited September 12, 2020 by gusguyman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Slowed down his body/arm action a bit on that first change-up to Reyes. You wonder why hitters don't sit on that one pitch, when he's throwing it 36% of the time, but that only works if you can get ahead in the count. Starting off dominant with those 96 MPH high riding fastballs, 2 batters, 2 k's, swinging outside of the zone...looks like White Sox typical at-bats the last decade, actually.

caulfield12 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Think the Cubs would like to have Candelario back about right now? Also, rooting hard for Mike Cameron's son Daz to be able to stick in the big leagues. 0/9 so far. Edited September 12, 2020 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
