2022 AL Central catch all thread
No, the schedule is too easy for them to be that bad. If they aren't at least 5-7 games over .500 at the month, they're going to be buried at the beginning of June. Maybe if the Indians were to come in and ALSO sweep the Twins in Minneapolis after this week's Astros sweep would some creeping doubts about that begin in enter my mind.

GT: Yankees at White Sox, Game 1 - 7:10 CT
This has to rank in the all-time TLR (second Sox run) Top 3-5 for worst managing nights...anyone disagree? Kelly walks freaking 4 of 5 hitters. Doesn't bring Banks in (which it was a bit unfair to put him in that situation, Sousa's been there recently) for Rizzo. Then has someone with a 90-92 mph BP fastball face two of the best hitters in the AL.

KU definitely has a lot more in common with the Yankees than the White Sox...

We will never win a single playoff series with LaRussa in the dugout. That was worse than Rodon in relief in the A's playoff series. Can't bring in a 91 mph fastball guy and act like he's prime Marte or Matty Thornton.

Once again our veteran players killing this team. Didn't want to use Banks against Rizzo.

Infield defense totally killing this organization. Guess we have to leave him in because he's a former Cardinal. Torres so aggressive scoring the second run there. Last year might have been our peak.

Of course. This team is so frustrating.

There's our $8.5 million per season high leverage reliever. Total high wire act. And so deliberate.

Didn't want to give Torres a hittable FB.

Everyone on the infield wants to talk to Kelly...

Gleyber Torres still on the bench, will probably PH for Higashioka.

Loiasaga only gave up three homers all last season. Out of sorts this year. Chad Green will be in the game next.

Didn't realize Burr was the all-time saves leader at Arizona State. Have had some great teams over the years, especially the Bonds Era.

This White Sox team is so unpredictable/inconsistent...but the overall talent level has to wear down Minnesota and Cleveland during the summer months when hitting starts to come to the forefront.

The Yankees Blue Jays and Astros basically have the lineups that we thought we were going to have in the 2018/19 stage of the rebuild...unfortunately with Grandal's Votto-esque numbers added in to the mix. This is like the Field of Dreams game now. Moncada homer? What the heck is going on?

GT: Yankees at White Sox, Game 1 - 7:10 CT
Can't disrespect our veteran leaders. Only Leury can replace him in that spot.

Moncada still possesses warning track power it seems.

Riverwalk used to be quite clean/safe at least in the late 1990s.
-
GT: Yankees at White Sox, Game 1 - 7:10 CT
Have to cover four innings again...and it's only action run game with the next two not looking promising so we probably need to use pitchers who matter. Cancel that. Now we definitely get the trailing/losing bullpen guys.

5/12 Games
Guess Davis Martin has pitched well enough to elevate himself to "next man up" status, for whatever that's worth. Great PGA golf name, lol. Kade McClure seems to have been "consigned" to the bullpen for now.

FA soon. He would be injured 75% of the time it the White Sox gave him $250 million.

It's going to be another 83-87 win team out of the Central...mostly because the Royals and Tigers are so atrocious. And massacred in the postseason yet again. Cease had a 7.71 ERA in two previous starts against NY and it's only going up. Have to rely on Gio and Kopech in the postseason...if he's actually still available. And if they rest Kopech too much they risk missing out on the playoffs altogether.

Need Brandon Belt.
