Look at Ray Ray Run

Sure, but obsessing over and enraging yourself about whether or not Ricky should bring in a pile or shit or a cockmeat sandwich out of the bullpen is pointless. You can criticize him for a lot of things, but the bullpen management just isn't one for me.

I've said this a few times, but... NO ONE looks good managing a bad bullpen. The Sox bullpen is bad. No manager can make it good. When you only have 2 arms you can rely on out of your entire bullpen, there aren't a lot of good decisions to make and you can't abuse the two guys you do have. Especially given that they are assets moreso to the Sox than they are to a good team.

apparently, when his pen is already short and awful, he was supposed to already have a pitcher warming up the minute jace fry came into the game - despite clearly hoping Fry would get him through the inning. just terrible takes.

LOL Cooper has completely revamped his delivery from a clearly broken delivery at the end of his time with the Nats. This place loves to blame the coaches for everything that goes wrong and every mistake made, but they won't even give credit for a guy who has been rebuilt from scratch.

Mental setback. My lord. He's a professional baseball player. If he can't handle an inkling of failure then he's done.

Be critical of other short comings, sure, but LUCAS GIOLITO is NOT a 14 year old kid. Enough with this... let's let Gio leave on a high note. If the guy bounce back from giving up a base runner in the 8th inning of a 2-0 game then he is a loser. 105 pitches is not a crazy amount of pitches by any mean. Gio needs to learn to keep his delivery with some fatigue as well. Enough babying the guy. It was 105 pitches, not 150, and there was nothing wrong with letting him pitch to a batter in the 8th.

His final pitch the inning before was 96 mph.

for letting him get one more out? nah.

Just a couple bad pitches Jack said.

That was weird. Wonder why.

Another meatball.

He just threw a 91 mph fastball down the dick.

Spin rate on it since they started measuring has never been good. Big bender but not sharp.

McCann can.

No they don't. They cannot force you to have an MRI. If you say you want to give it 7-10 days that's what is going to happen. Not sure why that's silly. Not sure why you think any employer in the country can force you to any medical exam without your consent.

Well, you cant force someone to have an MRI. You cant force someone into medical procedure. A lot of times when you hear about a team wanting to wait and see how someone bounces back... it's because the player doesn't want to get an MRI yet.

Lol and do what? Force them to be checked out? Some of the takes here are scalding hot.

How you deal with failure is what separates the successful from those who flame out. Lambert has already managed it well once and made a major adjustment to fix it. That's a real good sign. He may get destroyed in some games, but he'll learn and adapt or he won't and he'll fail, but he won't fail because his feelings were hurt. It rarely has to do with ones psyche being hurt.

Why does he need to pitch in AAA? Mark buehrle promoted at 21 after just over 200 minor league innings pitched. Jose Quintana

Yeah, but if they are officially diagnosing him with swelling in the flexor mass, it's just as likely he strained it or tore it and if he tore it he wouldnt throw for 3 months but that's not the 8 months before you throw with TJS... so here's to hoping it's that.

Most easily relatable.. this is possibly a case of tennis elbow. When you strain your flexor mass as a regular Joe - we call it tennis elbow.

Covey over Lambert or anyone else is so predictable and simply exhausting. Not sure how many times the White Sox need to see Covey. He's the pitcher version of Engel. Undeserved chances over and over.

He would actually be a classic early call up candidate. Hes older - 24 Has thrown 150 innings in a season Has + command Has made a significant adjustment already in his career to become successful Has performed well at AA for about 50 innings. Isn't a big prospect who would feel added pressure.

They're going to limit him in general this year. They should limit him at the big league level. They're not really trying to push his pitch count or innings high in a single start.

Also, at this point... Charlotte has turned as absurd as PCL baseball. Cease could very possibly have a lower ERA at the big league level than in Charlotte because of how hitter friendly that league is. For a reference point - look at Syndergaards AAA numbers vs his MLB numbers.
