    This is a really stupid move.  They’ll walk Anderson and set up the DP with Robert.

    Or he grounds out and doesn't score the runner.

    Now they face Alberto, who did hit a double earlier, so let's hope he can come through again.

    I don’t want to derail this thread further, but TA7 should be playing every day he can. I don’t understand the whole “load management” strategy the white Sox have employed - it doesn’t seem to effectively minimize future injury anyway. If they are healthy, play your stars, especially in divisional games against your rival that are must win 2 game swings. If you’re going to sit him, sit him in Cincinnati.

    They are not, Pedro already explained this pre-game. They brought Tim back early.

    Other than Santos and Middleton... 

    Who are not available after pitching back to back.

    People keep blaming Pedro for the poor lineups and bullpen options, but he can only play the players on the roster. Between injuries and suckatude, there aren't many options even when folks are healthy.

  4. Grifol can only play the players he is given. At this stage, the team does not have a healthy legitimate starting 2B, 3B or RF. They have three DHs they play as starters (Sheets, Eloy, Vaughn). Hahn cannot construct a proper ML Roster, and cannot allocate payroll properly. That is the issue.

    The past four managers could do little more than play whack-a-mole covering the holes that never, ever, ever get filled in the offseason.

    According to a few posts on twitter I have seen, yes. They are still checking. Apparently it gets "more lax" after the game starts and people have been sneaking in. (Kind of sad it comes to that) I've seen a few pictures this year of the bottleneck AFTER getting through the gates having to have your ticket scanned a 2nd time to get on the concourse.

     

    Stubhub has it setup differently for different venues/sports/etc. However with Sox games you can buy tickets even after the game has started. Last week some upper deck tickets were going for $1 after game start. I'm not sure the exact time limit after game time you can buy, I feel like its 30 mins. I'll keep an eye on it today during the game.

    They enforced the ban for the two games I went to

    Thanks, though that is pretty obscene given the fact folks need an hour to enter the stadium and 100 level, and brawls can go on and on with zero security involvement, because Jerry be broke and can't staff his taxpayer paid for stadium.

    Do they need the players permission? 

    Personally, if the reason to disclose or not disclose injury information is for gambling, I would tell them as little as possible. 

    I'm going to pull the old guy card, "that's what we used to do in the old days" 

    Well, before all of these leagues became "partners" with sportsbooks, "fantasy" sportsbooks, opened sports books inside stadiums, they would disclose injuries out of self interest so that their sports had the appearance of "legitimacy", that their games were on the level.

    Personal health conditions treated by medical staff outside of a team's prevue and their employment (say an STD, or COVID, or acne, or other issues unrelated to their occupation) that are not treated by their employer (team), cannot be disclosed without express consent by an athlete. That is why teams were cagey with COVID diagnosis.

    Players contracts / agreed upon CBA language includes language that leagues are permitted to disclose employment related injuries treated by the team without a players consent. HIPPA covered entities include health insurance plans and companies (which I worked for much of my career), health care providers (doctors, hospitals, clinics, pharmacies) and businesses tasked with transmitting health information.

    I really don't think they should share medical issues with the general public. It's probably against many HIPAA regulations as well. 

    Gambling (Rotisserie / Fantasy and Wagering) is the primary reason professional sports leagues disclose sports injuries to the public,

    Professional sports teams are are not covered entities subject to HIPPA law. They can disclose sports related injuries they are treating.

  8. I understanding easing Tim back off the IL and after a night game. I rather have Tim get the day off a week for a few until he is fully 100%.

    Just bad timing that Burger was hurt and you're also stuck with Sheets in RF for 6-7 innings. Can't DH Tim, Eloy and Sheets at the same time.

    Hoping Grifol will consider pinch hitting Tim, Yoan, Robert and Eloy on their off days in crucial late inning at bats.

    It must be bad if he immediately ends up on the IL.

    No waiting the usual 8 days.

    Typical recovery time

    While some mild oblique strains can be resolved in just a few days, severe strains can require surgery with a recovery time of 3-4 months. In 2017, former Dodgers athletic trainer Stan Conte of Conte Injury Analytics teamed with the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City and Major League Baseball to further examine the impact of oblique strains on injured MLB players. Using MLB's Health and Injury Tracking System (HITS), the study ultimately revealed that hitters typically take 27 days to recover from a Grade 1 strain, while pitchers typically take as many as 35 days.

  10. Are they enforcing the lower deck ban on upper deck tickets this season?

    Also, how long are stubhub sales active before gametime?

    Was going to go if Billy was starting, but he isn't. Would still like to know the answers if anyone has them for stubhub and lower deck access for a future Billy Hamilton start.

    Thanks

     

     

     

  11. Minnesota Twins

    2. Cheater (R) SS
    3. B. Buxton (R) DH

    Chicago White Sox

    SP RHP Lucas Giolito 1-2 4.15 ERA 34 K

    Still waiting on the White Sox, who may be later than usual with the Jake Burger situation and possible roster move.

    White Sox Active Roster MLB 3B Experience:

    • Burger - Oblique?
    • Alberto - 8 G 2023; 20 G 2022
    • Hamilton - 1 G 2/3 Inning 2022
    • Vaughn - 2 G 10 innings 2021

    Minor Leagues:

    • Sosa (Sent down Monday. Can return within 10 Days to replace a player placed on the IL).
    • Remillard & all others are not on 40 Man Roster.
  12. Looking to see if the White Sox call up Zach Remillard today or tomorrow if Burger goes on the IL.

    Hahn better not dick around and lollygag placing him on the IL as is their MO if he has an oblique injury. They are already playing shorthanded in the bullpen with Lopez out since Sunday and only one off day the rest of the month.
