For a guy who cannot hit, Gonzalez cannot catch.

Palka may be the worst defensive OF I have ever seen on a MLB field.

Dylan Covey wears the highest number for a pitcher in White Sox history.

Baltimore is 17-36 with Machado. They will lap the field in the race to the first pick once they trade him.

The Indians finally got Altuve out. He had 10 hits in a row.

They are physical errors. More and more reps. I have no idea if his thumb has anything to do with it It was always a question whether he could remain a SS. Range obviously isn't an issue. Maybe throwing accurately and picking up grounders as is to be expected from an MLB SS is. I didn't see the game yesterday. He seemed to be doing pretty well with the glove after a tough start. Sometimes errors just happen, and double errors are usually the result of trying to make something out of nothing to make up for the first gaffe. The Sox have all the time in the world for him. We will l ow whether or not he should be a SS by the time they are ready to won.

How is one booted grounder and 2 bad throws of the mental variety?

The more likely case of doping are your Jose Abreu related posts the last several years. It is just amazing how bad he has made you look, but you refuse to let go, and he makes you look even worse.

If Torres and Eloy dominate MLB the next 10 years, is Theo still a genius? Torres is on fire. 21 years old, misses a year hurt and he owns the AL.

It fascinates me how careful teams are with him. His entire offensive game is a walk, let him hit it, it won’t hurt you.

Perhaps. They are going to give him every possible chance, as they should, , but the Sox have released plenty of guys 23 years old or younger in their history that threw 91. He is getting an opportunity not a lot get. It’s fine that he is, but I just think it’s a very real possibility it isn’t going to get better to the point where it is at least good enough. He has had his moments. When he throws strikes consistently he generally performs well even if the advanced metrics aren’t impressive. I went to a game last year and saw him warming up snapping off unhittable curveballs. But you don’t see those in the game. Maybe it’s in his head, and he needs a sports psychologist. I am pretty sure the Sox have one on stand by. He is a huge guy. The bigger you are the harder it is to repeat your mechanics. Maybe that is the issue. My problem is it seems so far from being acceptable. It isn’t like he is just missing, or had a call or two go against him. There is very little to hang your hat on with him. Rizzo may be an ass, but he is known as a guy who doesn’t get held up in trades. Seems like he might have been right on with Gio. We will see. I think the air is out of the excitement bag.

I think it's pretty common. I read an article once where a scout said HS pitchers throwing 98 are throwing 88 by the time they are 28.

Giolito isn't the first pitcher to throw 97 in high school and threw 91 five years later, and he won't be the last.

And if he can't figure out how to throw a strike by the end of spring training next year, A. Who will want him, and B. Who cares if the Sox lose him.

Not only does he lead the league in walks, he also has hit 10 guys already.

Could it just be the guy just sucks? I know the whole Nationals screwed up his mechanics thing, but people are too married to Keith Law thinking this guy is good. He throws 91-92 and misses his spots not by inches, but by yards. And when he does throw something over the plate, how often does he make someone look foolish? As Kat Williams would say, "not never".

He pitched really well last night, but one start, his 13th as a White Sox, most in team history to get to win #1, shouldn't get people too excited. Next start he might be back to the Dylan Covey we all know and hope to avoid when we have tickets to the game.

Gio and Fulmer are 2 of the latest examples of never believe what you see in September.

White Sox pitching 101 pitches through 3 innings.

His major offensive weapon is a walk. The guy has some girth to him. You would think he could hit a ball harder than a 105 lb. 5th grader.

Gio's side sessions must look a whole lot better than when he gets to the mound or they wouldn't bother throwing him to the wolves.

5-3 homestand isn't bad, but the Rangers and Orioles are both so bad.

He had extended spring training. They said 2 or 3 rehab starts.

Rodon starts either tonight or tomorrow in AAA, so I would imagine his next start is with the White Sox.

I often wonder how different pitching would be if there were no guns in MLB parks.
