ptatc Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 21, 2017 -> 08:46 AM) Pitcher takes too long to deliver a pitch or calls time too often and they get a ball. Pitch clock. Right but the pitcher can wait 10 seconds or 20 or 11 or 8. The hitter has no input thus the pitcher gets to control the pace and rhythm of the game.

flavum Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) https://twitter.com/jakemkaplan/status/935583767376384000 Former major leaguer Everett Teaford, a pro scout for Houston since the beginning of 2016, has left the Astros for a position with the White Sox on their player development staff. I would assume he and Getz are friends and played with each other in the KC years. Edited November 28, 2017 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sockin Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Not really news or anything but Austin Jackson is doing an AMA on r/baseball and had this to say about his time with the 2016 Sox. Someone asked him about the clubhouse's reaction to the Sale jersey cutting. "I absolutely loved my time in Chicago. One of the best organizations I've played with. Enjoyed the clubhouse, the team was a really close-knit team. As far as the Sale incident - I actually wasn't there for that, I had surgery for a torn MCL. But when I went back, everybody seemed to be laughing about it. I don't think anybody took it to heart." https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/...winter/dr5iizy/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sale was hated by many on here for some reason. I applaud him. He told the front office he wouldn't pitch in those horrifically uncomfortable uniforms. Rather than risk blowing out his arm while pitching in jerseys that he hated and put him in a rotten mood much less uncomfortable mood, he took the scissors to them. Big deal. He had to pay for them and got fined and he prevented his teammates from wearing those monstrocities. Why wouldn't the team laugh about it? Why would anybody take the front office's position on this? Sale was a star and stars can be moody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has some ability to overcome mechanical quirks that could really help him as his mechanics were pretty weird the second we drafted him. Worth thinking that "inconsistency" has been one of the things contributing to his struggles, both from his part and from where he's been pitching at.

greg775 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 03:35 PM) https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newLDR_81.htm I do not see "destroying company property" mentioned anywhere. These are sports athletes. Where's the part of that article talking about the higher ups in the company refusing to listen to the concerns of one of its most important employees? It goes both ways. Sale started out by merely voicing his concerns about the uniforms. The team could have used them on a day he wasn't scheduled to pitch and solved the conflict. Sure he committed a no-no in destroying the uniforms. The team had a right to have him arrested I guess, but again, this is Sale we're talking here. If a company's top employee doesn't want to do something it might be wise to listen to said employee especially in sports.
