Maybe where I sit, what I eat, what I wear really doesn't change the outcome of the games or did I just do it better? Lopez for Charlotte

https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=06/19/2021 https://www.milb.com/scores/chicago-white-sox/2021-06-19 I considered banning myself since all our teams lost yesterday. If it happens again, someone else will have to post the games cause ya know it was my fault. Lambert for Charlotte

Anyone have any info on him from this year? 31 years old but having career year at AAA. Stats almost all career best including best K rate and GB/FB ratio. Is it just a AAAA pitcher messing with the youngsters or is he doing something different and potentially useful?

Just checked his splits. Ops .690 vs rip and .379 vs lefties. Last year a split difference of .400 and .100 for career. Pretty clear to me at this point his performance merits platooning which would also benefit him by getting him rest hopefully keeping him healthier.

Eaton was probably going to do well in a platoon in right with Engel. Our rash of injuries made it necessary to play every day. He got hurt and tried playing through it. Never heard him b**** or use it as an excuse but clearly it has effected his performance. Hopefully when he returns he is healthy and we have options to rest him better.

I think it depends on our managements reading of Yermin's head. Right now he is clearly pressing/confused/slumping. I don't think he is injured. I would send him down to clear his head. He has now slumped for about six weeks. Maybe Sheets can come back up and get some playing time and allow some options when you rest players. As a DH only, Yermin doesn't offer that ability.

https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=06/15/2021 https://www.milb.com/scores/chicago-white-sox/2021-06-15 Lopez tonight.

No offense taken. I agree with most of what you state. To a large degree, and this will be unpopular to the antiTony crowd, I think LaRussa has done a pretty good job of playing matchups. Some of the reasons backups have some decent numbers to invoke is because they have been put in good matchups. I was surprised Lamb wasn't in last night.

I worry about bench guys being overexposed with prolonged playing time. there was a reason guys were backups. The injury issues also show up where Grandal and Eaton have played hurt when a IL stint might have helped them individually but the team is so banged up they couldn't take the time off. Now you are getting bigger drop offs to the new backups so starters at risk for not getting rest. Our pitching has been the key to keeping us in every game even when lineups look weaker. We really need our starting pitching to hold up. Our minor league starting pitching needs to step up. Lopez looks lost, Stiever, Lambert etc need to get rolling. All our next wave of pitching youngsters at A are really struggling.

https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=06/11/2021 https://www.milb.com/scores/chicago-white-sox/2021-06-11 lets go Sox! Wright for Char. Kanny doing better

I hope Yermin is doing all the little things and big things that got him this opportunity. I hope one successful month didn’t get him caught up in his own hype with sandwiches, yerminator, haircut etc. hopefully he’s just in a slump and will snap out of it.

Remember D Day! Thank a vet. https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=06/06/2021 https://www.milb.com/scores/chicago-white-sox/2021-06-06 Lambert for Charlotte

I think a couple posters have raised good points. I had the offseason plan a couple years ago highlighted with Grandal as being a great fit for our team. Sure there are times he has frustrated me but I give him credit for gutting the knee out when we really couldn’t afford another guy to go on the IL. Probably didn’t talk about it to not help the opposition. The walk rate might have been his way to still contribute something or not give away injury further. Wonder if a sleeve or brace might have helped though might have made catching harder. Agree liking Grandal doesn’t mean u can’t like or pull for McCann . He was good for us and by all accounts a great teammate . Jose does have streaks but sometimes I think his biggest problem is trying to do to much especially when other guys are out/struggling

The cancelation wasn't known at the time of the decision. We won the game. Lynn will be on normal rest after a light game which theoretically should help down the road.

Well on a good note, Lynn doesn't go on short rest.

https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=06/01/2021 https://www.milb.com/scores/chicago-white-sox/2021-06-01 Go Sox!
