4/20 game thread Sox at CLE
Adding insult to injury, Burnes and Woodruff lights out these last two days...otoh, Wheeler suddenly looks terrible again and was hurting in the preseason. Woodruff with a no no against Pirates right now, pretty decent odds except pitch count early in the season.

Ramirez is going to take up motorcycle jumps and playing soccer in the outfield? Eating himself out of the game?

Well, considering all the millions at stake ... there should be more professionalism on both sides. But leave it to the White Sox to finally rid themselves of Kimbrel and another uncomfortable personnel situation arises to quickly take his place.

He essentially is auditioning for a starter's role...

Charlotte and Birmingham rosters would at least only be down 4-6 to zero. The drum guy is gone now...did he actually die or banned from bringing his instrument in now?

That would clearly be the better viewing choice.

The bad part of the bullpen has to absorb this game...and pray that Lambert can give at least 4-5 innings or the rest of the trip is going to be a complete mess.

Would who have thought watching Pirates at Brewers is actually a better option?

The Indians are still a year away, but those who completely wrote them off were sorely mistaken.

And now they're really stuck overpaying for someone if there's any issues with Lynn's comeback or God forbid another starter...

I think you're under shooting significantly with that 12 the way their offense has been going....

You know we will be stuck with him at least the first four months...when's the last time they ate more than $10 million?

When's the last time we played great defense? 2012?

Obviously air mailed the cut off man but no harm done. Guess we don't have to worry about Keuchel getting to 162 after all.

https://www.coveringthecorner.com/2022/4/20/23033499/cleveland-guardians-call-up-shortstop-gabriel-arias-for-doubleheader Really fortunate to have Owen Miller and Quantrill on the shelf…Arias in his big league debut. Clement becoming something of a super utility guy now. Pretty sure that Miller was leading the majors in doubles.

Early Thoughts
Leury being in the lineup on a daily basis? White Sox have the best record in the AL but would be tied for third in the NL West behind the Rockies (what?) and the Dodgers…with the Giants and Padres. Mets are off to a strong start…especially considering no deGrom.

Sox could get back Pollock Friday
Does that make you happy? And Vaughn is going to get increasing playing time if he continues to hit right and left-handed pitching. Their prospects pedigrees are nothing alike…

Tired of hearing about how little the Sox hitters strike out
2015 you had the Royals with the lowest K percentage, and the Cubs with the worst, but they made the NLCS and won it all the following year. Toronto had the fifth best (lowest) K percentage. Toronto also had the highest wRC+ 117, with the Royals and Mets (#10/12) in the middle of the pack (99/98) and Cubs 17th at 96. But the Royals far and away had the best MLB fielding, with Toronto second. And that doesn’t even account for the bullpen and baserunning. So the Royals were far from sluggers, just like the 2005 White Sox offense, but they were certainly an above average offense and that’s all you need when you have other aspects of the team that are outstanding or elite. The Cubs, of course, were a totally different kind of team than the Royals the following year, so its hard to generalize such a “squishy” idea from a statistical standpoint.
