Real nice start to this one

Great AB.

He throws another hanger he's gonna mash it out.

Damn, inches foul. Eh, about 10 feet, damn.

Depends on the time of year and how he does in the AFL. Probably starts in AA and we see him in Chicago at some point after super two status.

Sure would be nice if we’d get a quality start out of a rotation piece, final… as Arron Lewis would say, “It has been a while…”

You beat me to this post. Was gonna say the same thing. Well, maybe Kay. Remember 2, 3, or 4 months ago when so many people were hoping that Sox could find a suitable pitcher to replace Fedde as our 5th starter. Also a ton of people hoping that the Sox could get a little better than a lottery ticket for Kay at the trade deadline. How things can change.

I’d like the Chicago White Sox to win this game.

It's a reds offense that still has players in it who are historically good hitters if you go by the back of their baseball card. The key to that start IMO was how much he used the changeup and fastball. He also employed different arm angles which made it much harder for the batters to pick up what he was throwing.

He's going to have to reinvent himself in the offseason. Small silver lining but at least he was able to go 4 last night and not completely melt down in the first couple innings. That said, it was a miracle he did not, a lot of hard hit balls found a glove. Trade looks awful right now is what it is, at least his team is picking him up.

Respectfully responding to @Lip Man 1 from yesterday's game thread. I disagree over whether he should have been acquired in the first place. I'm guessing the price for currently productive starters was astronomical, and Getz was unprepared to empty out the farm system to get a glorified #2 and #4. The pitch selection they had in mind when acquiring Castillo worked against a 'not good' Reds' team. If they can coax more of that out of him, they have a controlled starter with playoff experience, and did well in that exposure as recently as last October. Reinsdorf does have a history of extending pitchers. They've generally gone the rout of trading for and developing pitching, rather than grabbing up a free agents at market prices. Trades do get players at cheaper market prices. I don't know if that's a dictum that comes down from JR, or if Schu, KW and Hahn skewed that direction to stay out of those awkward conversations with the boss. As far as Castillo is concerned, I would think they don't even start having "the talk" until next Spring Training. A last resort would most probably be seeing what he looks like rested after an offseason.

King and Holmes. Get it done.

No opener for Fedde?

He's due for a complete game shut out.

C'mon Erick....give us 6 strong today.

Where do you guys think Roch will be playing next season?

Prove me wrong Beni!!!!

Surprised to see Benni in there - he’s got some pretty ugly career numbers against Ober. Would rather see Sam DH again ( since he loves it ) and toss Doyle out in the field.

LETS GO BOYS!! SWEEP THE CENTRAL CAMPAIGN ROLLS ON!!!

Let's fucking go!

I concur. Did a trip to see W-S and Kanny. It's like a 45 minute drive. Because the town is cool and the stadium is great I thought W-S > Kanny.

These are the guys under contract that I see as having a chance to make the Sox at some point next year. I'm not counting Rogers, Bart, and Grichuk because I believe they are all FA at the end of the year. *Sam Antonacci, of/2b Chase Meidroth, 2b/ss Miguel Vargas, 3b/1b *Mune Murakami, 1b *Colson Montgomery, ss/3b #Braden Montgomery, rf *Tristan Peters, cf *Kyle Teel, c *Andrew Benintendi, DH Brenton Doyle, cf Luisangel Acuna, ss #Drew Romo, c #Brooks Baldwin, of/ss/2b/3b #Edgar Quero, c Tanner Murray, ss/2b/of *William Bergolla, ss/2b Caleb Bonemer, ss/3b/of Roch Cholowsky, ss Junior Perez, of

If you do Charlotte/Kanny you can add in Winston Salem as well, its pretty close.

Throws a lot sidearm and there's no deception and maybe little extension (haven't checked.) And when he does throw sideline seems like he leads with his elbow as if he's throwing inside out . He has to get on top of the ball otherwise his pitches will be flat and won't break.
