One thing that has changed is he cannot pitch right now.

TA should be back this weekend. You have to figure Mendick has played his way to a roster spot. Harrison is probably in his final days as a White Sox.

If this is true, it's amazing the White Sox gave him the contract he has.

Thank God for Tony. Who else would have figured Lambert could close?

Flexor strain. Not good news. It’s a pre-curser. Sale was diagnosed with a flexor strain in March of 2020. 2 weeks later it’s announced he is having TJS.

Does anyone know of any power pitcher who had a forearm strain that didn’t eventually get TJS.

He’s been wearing a compression sleeve on his elbow when warming up for at least a month. I’m thinking they knew it was going to blow, just hoped it could be delayed as long as possible.

It seems forearm strains eventually turn into TJS. I just wonder how they can go from, tomorrow to tomorrow again to 3 weeks.

Nothing to lose. Besides, they seem to be the last people to know their players even warrant an IL stint this year. Not only have they not had a full roster of 5hei best players, they haven’t had a full roster period available for probably 95% of their games.

It's not a lie.

Yes, I didn't understand using him, but the more you think about it, whether he pitched that game or not, I'm thinking this injury was coming anyway. He always warmed up with a sleeve on his elbow, then took it off. So something has been up for a while.

The reason the run differential is so bad is somewhat on Tony, no? Let's not give him credit for having a team with more talent playing beneath itself. The guy sucks. Heyman even ripped him. https://nypost.com/2022/06/13/tony-la-russas-shoddy-managing-hurting-more-than-white-sox/

Tony was sitting back with his pants undone during his press conference.

So did Hendriks hurt himself when Tony put him in a 5 run game?

It is amazing how many times the Sox have had their worst hitters and worst pitchers in a big position to have to perform this year with expected results. Always has been a thing that bothered me about Yony. He loves his worst players.

That's even a question? Seby was the obvious choice. A career .170 hitter. Who else could pinch hit?

Got to wait to put him on the DL. Tony likes to play with a short roster. It's either that or Hahn is petrified Tony will play his replacement in a position or spot in the batting order they haven't been in since high school.

Absolutely.

This is going to be a long night.

One pitch 1 HR. Their first HR in 9 games. Fire the trainers. Fire Katz. And of course, Fire Tony.

Time to put Jose out to pasture.

With Cease's development and Kopech's and a couple of others, at least you can say Katz at least could be responsible for some improved performance. Who else can you say that about with the White Sox?

Absolutely agree, unless somehow his wife is OK with this, or they are no longer together, this is very unfair and cruel to her.

That's correct. He's going to be like Nick Cannon, trying to get everyone to have another Tim Anderson.

I'm old enough to remember when asked Tony saying White Sox fans were not White Sox fans if they thought the Sox needed another OF, and then the GM traded for 2 within the next several days, although to be fair, based on some of his signings, RH being a White Sox fan is up for debate.
