Take 2 of 3 against the Tiggers and this series is in the rearview mirror

Nope. I just assume that Thorpe “Ron-Willie” need two more rehab starts before he is ready. Any other questions, CaliDamus? 🤣 Very exciting to elicit a response from you when you aren’t spending your time stalking @southsider2k5. Congratulations on your personal development.

Martin is going to solve a blister issue in Charlotte?

He's going to solve a blister issue at Charlotte?

Off on Monday, starting pitchers on Tuesday and Wednesday both went 7 innings, bullpen game on Friday. Like someone said earlier...so soon after the trade deadline and don't have a starter to use so stuck with bullpen game in game 1 of a crucial series. Terrible indeed.

Martin needs to go on the IL with either a real injury or a made up one. Hitting Stewart in the head after throwing 5 feet over it on the pitch before is not acceptable. Whatever Martin's problem is let him figure it out in Charlotte.

a guy with a 6 era and the rule 5 guy who never even played for the sox?

Vinnie is a Cub fan? didn't see that coming.

You mad because it"definitely" wasn't Thorpe? Always so sure and always so wrong. I guess you were taught if you act like you know what you are talking about people will believe you.

In English ! All I know is that it had nothing to do with the thread title of picking the next starting pitcher. You just came in here to stir the pot as if Drohan is the next great pitcher the Sox dumped. If you think that go start a thread about it. He's having a little bit of success in his 1st taste of MLB action 2 years after he was roster churn casualty. He has a whole .6 bWar. Non news dude . Maybe he'll help the Brewers fight off the Cubs.

Alex Jackson DFA’d by Twins. .2 WAR .742 OPS on the year (SSS)

Good night for Shane Smith. Maybe he takes Davis’ spot to give the blister a break? Bonemer 1-2 with 3 HBP! He left the game, hopefully nothing too serious.

Doesn't matter what the Athletic says. They're just playing the latest rendition of " Who wins the Central " ? Who'd they pick at the beginning of the season ? Maybe the Tigers and figured it was a good idea to remind everyone. Pretty sure they didn't make that prediction right after the Tigers traded Skubal and Mize.

Kittle hurt his back with the Dodgers as a youngster out of HS and was released. He went back to Gary, healed up, and was working in the mills. I believe he was spotted by a Sox exec playing local baseball and was signed.

White Sox have given two pitchers away for nothing in Tobias Meyers and Shane Drohan that have now made significant contributions to Milwaukee playoff teams. Seems like bench coach Walter McKinven needs to keep recruiting from that staff/front office... And Dylan Cease is going to finish 1st or 2nd for AL Cy Young.

Uh oh.

We are starting old man Urquidy and sophomore slump Smith soon. It shows that the Sox pretty much suck at developing starting pitching talent.

Urquidy tomorrow after the opener, Shane Smith next Wednesday against Cubs

You mean they acquired 2/5 starting pitchers from Boston via trade...?

What's this doing in here ? Has nothing to do with the thread topic. It's Red Sox news if anything . They dumped him after us.

I actually think bad luck made Davis’s pitches almost hit Stewart twice, just like the good luck bloopers you always cry about that opposing teams hit against the Sox. Quite the conundrum.

I like the people who think it'll be Thorpe since his last very good start. Everything kind of lines up for Urquidy but if we're looking at a start the middle of the week against the Cubs rather than the Tigers who knows. Still could be anyone but the poll doesn't close until the second the 20th starts so if you haven't voted yet you might get a clue before the poll closes. 11:59PM 8/19. By then the decision on what to do with Thorpe once his rehab assignment ends on the 17th should be announced.

You gotta take your piddly $60 - $70K any way you can get it. I have already told my two boys to stay far away from this career.
