Yesterday the White Sox were going to get run out of town.......I must say I am becoming intrigued.

 

A great story would be if Joe Maddon actually made the Sox a better team by leaving Tampa.

Rain has gone from 90% at game time last night to 60% this morning. Progress.

 

Sunday may be the only game they get in.

You are such a pessimistic dude, ChiSox59. LOL

I think they'll get the games in. May just have some rain delays.

 

Good luck to Dylan Covey tonight.

Wish it was in Chicago. Today has me chompin at the bit to get some baseball.

81 tomorrow in our fine city.

I saw Covey in spring. He is literally the generic right handed AAAA SP. He's Caucasian, about 6'2, maybe 200 lbs wet. He throws his heater about 89-92. He has a mediocre curve and a mediocre at best changeup.

 

His control is mediocre to poor and his command is mediocre. He has no out pitch at the MLB level and will rely quite a bit on defense and ground balls if he's to have any success tonight.

 

Good luck dude. It might be a very long night. Hopefully in a month he's replaced either by Rodon or Lopez. I believe the super 2 deadline is May 13th this year.

Would be nice to see the Sox pounce early on another starter who had a rough first game, much like they did with Tomlin last night. I fir one would like to see Kevin Smith catching and Willy Garcia getting the start in LF (or CF, whatever).

I'd like to see Omar play as much as he can. He calls an interesting game and I think he just needs lots of reps.

Only complain with him is the framing but if he hits like this I'll live with it.

In all seriousness though, I hope W. Garcia plays in every game this weekend.

He always sets up outside the strike zone, calls a lot high and wide to RH hitters. I think he just needs reps. He is doing a lot of the set-up to make it look like ball hit in zone, just not soft enough yet.

That's for the extra year of service time. What is the date where the team gets the additional pre-arbitration season? Is that Super-two? I know the Pirates held down Polanco for like 2 months that one season when he was raking and clearly ready to come up but they did it so they get the extra even cheaper year out of it.

What does white have anything to do with it?

You are such a pessimistic dude, ChiSox59. LOL

 

Lol. How is that pessimistic? I live in Minneapolis and have tickets for Friday and Sat so I have been following the weather all week. How does reporting the weather make me pessimistic?

 

It's literally supposed to start thunder storming at game time both Friday and Sat. It looks like the storms have moved back a bit tonight, but still north of 50% chance of rain from game time on.

 

In terms of a pessimism spectrum on this forum, id be near the bottom.

yea not going to bother answering this. Figure out the demographics of SP in MLB yourself. Then look up the meaning of generic.

FWIW, Covey has basically no experience above A-ball. Having low expectations isn't being a Debbie downer. Even if you thought he was going to be something, it would be quite the leap to say he's ready right now.
