  1. luckily the tigers have a shit lineup left a lot up and out over the plate.
  2. I've been as harsh on him as anybody and his mental state is obviously not great but if I was going up there with his stuff I'd look scared too. It's not simply that he's a headcase with talent -- there's no talent. Pitcher true talent level changes rapidly in today's training environments. If you don't put in the work in the pitching labs in the offseason, or even if you do but aren't able to harness the instruction and take it to gameday, you're not gonna survive. His true talent right now is AAAA guy. He should probably just have been waived and traded for a PTBNL or cash before he gets non tendered and is lost for nothing this offseason. He's not even going to be worth the 1.5-2 million he'll get in arb.
  3. There's no "there there" with him. His fastball is flat and he has zero command on it. His breaking ball is essentially a show me pitch. His changeup? Ha, there are high school pitchers with better changeups. While the White Sox have holistically done a helluva job rebuilding they continue to have a weak spot when it comes to over holding failed players. Reylo simply is not a MLB pitcher at the moment. Maybe a miracle happens and he becomes one on Saturday but wish in one hand and shit in the other and see what fills up first. It's fine to trot out guys like Reylo and Covey when you aren't contending but not anymore. I guess this is why Gio pitched the other night? Or not? Like, what was the point of that move relative to this one? I'm honestly curious. I figured they were trying to get him stretched out a bit so he could start Saturday and go 3-5 innings. Just puzzling moves. I guess after Reylo inevitably runs into trouble in the first 4 innings, Gio will be called on to try and mop up.
  4. What a stupid ass lineup but that's what we've come to expect. Grandal's bat is white hot and there is a tough righty on the mound so of course Rick puts Edwin 4th. Edwin coming in with a robust 83 wRC+ against RHP.
  5. Holy hell that chick is every girl on a bar stool next to you in Brooklyn. Cute tho.
  6. Sucks but just get him ready for the Twins and then the playoffs.
  7. He plays with a chip on his shoulder and I like it. That said, he needs to play within himself.
  8. Reads and agility. His agility is horrendous if you ask him to flip his hips and go get a ball over his head forget about it. But if you ask him to just run in a straight line he's pretty fast. That was an incredible play not only did he get a good jump he got up to top speed quickly and took a helluva route.
  9. Great bounceback. Momentum is Dunning apparently.
