He’s looked pretty good in aaa, so He should be good to go.

Jake’s been looking bad at the plate lately.

Case and point why Keuchel isn’t going anywhere until post ASG / TDL.

Until Kopech needs rest. He’s not throwing 160+ innings.

Im no Keuchel fan, but the trash we have at aaa couldn’t provide an outing like this. Which is why he’ll be on this roster until at least July.

I don’t really think those things are all that related. McGuire was playing too much when those guys were available too.

I think they’re taking it easy on Yaz early in the season and they clearly like Reese’s defense. I hope the playing time shrinks as the season wears on cuz McGuire isn’t good.

That’s terrifying.

The craziest thing about McGuire and his PT is that the dude was acquired like 4 days before OD. What exactly was their plan at C if Yaz was gonna sit this much.

Lol Gavin

The Sheets Stans from this offseason have been awfully quiet.

The white Sox have no SP depth. Keuchel is awful but with Kopechs rest down the road and any further injuries to Gio, Lynn or Cease and we’re talking about Wes Benjamin, or Davis Martin or Kade McClure starting games for the Sox. Maybe multiple. While you may say “he can’t be any worse”, there really isn’t much to support that.

Cueto has been just as bad in aaa, so that’s likely one reason.

So Monday not Tuesday?

Nice looking lineup today. Probably the best set up with the current roster. TA SS, Pollock LF, Abreu 1B, Robert CF, Yaz C, Sheets DH, Burger 3B, Engel RF, Leury 2B

While I agree its a hassle - I won't be at home so will need to figure out apple tv on my phone - its free to download and watch on any smart TV. Its really not that hard.

What service has sunday's game?

Going to be some interesting decisions to make next week: We should have Moncada and Kelly returning on Monday. Hopefully AV on Thursday. Cueto's opt out is the 15th. He last pitched Wednesday, so would be on schedule to start Tuesday the 10th. Next start would be the 15th, so probably won't be making that one in AAA. My guesses: Moncada for Mendick Kelly for Burr AV for Burger Cueto opts out and never makes it to Chicago unless he has a nice start next week and Dallas bombs out again this weekend

I suspect we'll see Yolbert sooner than the ASB assuming he continues to hit in AAA and we don't see substantial improvement from Harrison.

Exactly. All the people calling for Dallas to be DFA'd/released are being short sighted. I fucking hate the guy and would love to punt him if we could. But we just don't have the luxury. Even if you want to assume Lance is healthy for the rest of the season upon return, and Gio, and Cease remain healthy....we still have to deal with Kopech rest down the road. We still need to deal with the fact that all of Lance, Gio and Cease are unlikely to take every turn the rest of the way. We also need to deal with the fact that VV probably isn't any good. Keuchel sucks and shouldn't be starting games for a team trying to win a WS, but the reality is he is one of the best 5 options right now, and there probably will be other periods this season where that also holds true. Respectfully, Wes Benjamin or Davis Martin are unlikely to match Dallas shitty performance. The Sox have no interesting arms in the upper minors. Lambert and Stiever are hurt, and McClure has been awful in aaa. Cueto may never make it to Chicago, and if he does, he's certainly no guarantee to be better than what we've received from Dallas. I'd swap ReyLo and Keuchel's roles myself - certainly once we get Kelly, but I wouldn't punt Keuchel off the roster just yet.

Yeppp. When Tony made the comment on Tuesday that AV may hit the IL before Boston, I was thinking he'd be eligible to return Tuesday. Its Thursday now, so an extra 2 games. Not the end of the world, but not ideal for an offense that is still sputtering.

You just listed off a bunch of 4-5 starters, and Sonny Gray. Twins pitching still sucks, even though it massively overachieved the first 25 games. With Correa going down, likely for at least a few weeks with what sounds like a broken finger on his throwing hand, I'd be surprised to see the Twins play over .500 ball the next month, even with the weak schedule. And the covid outbreak may not be over.

Just keep this bit up. It worked out great for the Sox at Wrigley where they were lucky to get one, per you.

Still think twins end up with Montas. Especially as their SP continues to falter and they find themselves in contention.

Jack. He has to make 29 more starts averaging over 5 IP. It isn’t happening. It’s math.
