fathom

No way Yoan would struggle batting lefty vs LHP as much as he does batting righty. He's not even close

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 03:07 AM) Which bullpen would you take, 2016 Reds or this current White Sox version? Reds, cause they at least had Iglesias to close out games

Timmy an extra base machine!

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 02:24 AM) Better than arm problems (glass half full) For sure, and like I mentioned, it explains a lot about velocity

Soreness right side for Lopez. See ya in 6 weeks

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 02:19 AM) As great as Acuna is, I'll take Jimenez raw power potential (which is basically unlimited) before Acuna's speed/defensive versatility. I'm also a little more wary of Acuna's swing and miss, whereas Jimenez contact ability is off the charts for a guy with his frame. But yea, they are 1-2 in my mind. The only player that rivals them in raw talent is Kopech. Nice post

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 02:16 AM) Uh-oh, more Moncada defensive issues... Rather he make mental errors than physical

Since bottom 8 on Tuesday, it seems like about 75 pct of batters have reached vs pen

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 02:12 AM) I dont think there are any minor leaguers I would trade for Jimenez. Acuna is only one I would consider

Wow is beck awful. This pen is amazing

What a stupid play by Moncada. Here comes the implosion

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 03:07 AM) or it's a part of being a pitcher. A 5-7 mph drop off is extreme though

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 03:05 AM) Was he favoring it or something? At least it's not his arm. Abreu was pointing to it after they walked away

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 03:05 AM) f*** Assuming it's just an oblique injury, at least it explains the velocity drop. If that was how he typically maintains velocity, he had no future as a starter.

Lopez has an oblique injury it seems. What game were they freaking watching last inning. Pretty obvious something was wrong.

Where was this last inning with the velocity drop?

He's completely gassed

QUOTE (Tony @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 01:43 AM) Seems like from the beginning, a lot of scouts think he ends up as a high leverage reliever. Sox shouldn't be anywhere close to considering that yet (no reason to), but I could see it. Should be interesting to watch. No doubt, the stuff he had in first inning vs KC when he had adrenaline was filthy

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 01:42 AM) I think he's just trying to pitch instead of throw, which is good long term. Two really nice changeups for the K there. Yep got it to 94 that inning. Nice and efficient

Huge velocity drop for Lopez. Fastball at 90-91 this inning. Hope he's not injured

QUOTE (Scoots @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 01:33 AM) Leury has developed into a very fine player Easily 3 win player if not for injury

Woof, awful inning. Stuff is rather underwhelming tonight. Needs to trust his fastball more

Nice play Timmy, big out here

Not sure Lopez has gotten a single swing and miss on fastball tonight. Definitely had adrenaline going in his debut and not tonight

He leaves far too many offspeed pitches over the plate
