Chicago White Sox

100% this. Hard to evaluate Will on his bullpen usage right now when they are so over-worked. I just don’t get what the plan is for the rotation. Still shocked up Mason Adams and didn’t get a SP back. Prioritizing Doyle over another SP and at the expense of one of our better bats against LHP remains perplexing.

How has Adams since the trade? Haven’t checked yet.

Nice catch!!

Meidroth is insane

I don’t mean me and you need to know, but that the Sox need to now so they can ensure the player is actually in Chicago for the time of the game.

The problem is tomorrow is a day game, so we kind of need to know if we’ll need one of the Charlotte guys for tomorrow so you can ensure they can get here in time. I think if you plan to use both Fedde & Urquidy, then you have no choice to bring up Thorpe (or Shane) for tomorrow’s game.

Any updates on this front? All I know is the Sox said they would take it day by day earlier on the broadcast last night. I also believe fathom mentioned Hudson would serve as opener today, but haven’t personally seen that reported. Sox ending up using four relievers yesterday including two of their bulk guys in Schweitzer & Richards. That sucks about the latter given they had Castillo on the bump last night and were probably hoping to get a few more innings out of him. A true bullpen game would have been easier with those two available. They still have Fedde & Urquidy to provide multiple innings, but hard to feel confident either of them will go beyond four. I think we’re going to see Hagen sent down and one of the Charlotte SPs called up. Shane is scheduled to pitch tonight for Charlotte & Thorpe is scheduled for tomorrow. I think one of those guys has to get the call. Protecting the bullpen is just as important as winning one of these next two games, so need the extra arm to have more options to absorb innings at minimum.

Yup, this and the Vargas error were killer. Still no idea why Will let Rogers hit in the 9th and not move Acuna over. I have to imagine our win probability would have skyrocketed with one additional run. If you are afraid to use Acuna on the basepaths late in the game, I’m not sure what the point of rostering him is.

Underwhelming stuff? He had stuck out 13.5 per 9 coming into tonight. His issue is command / control. The velocity stuff is overplayed around here.

Should have had Acuna running in the 9th or bunted him over. That was a big mistake and solely on him. Rogers botching the challenges isn’t on him, but doesn’t help that guys continue to burn them on horrible calls early in games like Antonacci did tonight.

These are terrible at bats

Chase deserves a bad game after the heater he’s been on.

so hit and run there???

Why not pinch hit here? Are they saving Colson for Rogers?

That ain’t a fight…that’s just a pure beat-down

This guy fucks!

How often do you watch the Cubs?

Rogers earned his stripes tonight

I am saying the mustache makes him look even more disciplined when he’s taking all those pitches.

Nine has done his part tonight. Meidroth needs to wake up now that he doesn’t have to face a splitter. I have faith in Chase.

Looks pretty smart taking all those pitches to me

Rogers needs to earn his keep jere

Nice Schweitzer!

What’s crazy is Colson actually has reverse splits and would have been a massive upgrade over Acuna (SSS admittedly).

Come on Doyle
