Harry Chappas Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Rain has gone from 90% at game time last night to 60% this morning. Progress. Sunday may be the only game they get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) 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.

ScootsMcGoots Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Edited April 14, 2017 by ChiSox59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
