I knew this team would be pretty rough this year, but knowing that sure doesn't make it any easier to watch.

I hope Fulmer is good enough to make 30 starts, just to say they tried. He’s a bullpen pitcher, at best.

Exit velocity doesn't matter if you don't make contact

 

My exact point. IDK why he is still switch hitting.. I don't care how young he is. He needs to go complete lefty.

 

Fulmer's command has exited stage left

And now Fulmer is getting squeezed.

Fulmer has had bad command,but it doesn't help this ump has been real bad today.

I really don't think he'd do any better as a LHH vs LHP. Give him more time as a righty. In the past, he has been better from the right side than the left.

Fulmer will be an amazing reliever.

Hector up and warming.

Can you show me the stats? I was never ever under the impression that he was a good RH hitter. I could be wrong.. but.. prove it

The amount of times White Sox pitching and defense have let guys get on base without a hit or what should be a hit is a huge problem this homestand.

Fulmer will be an amazing reliever.

 

With Rodon, Kopech, Gio and Lopez I don't see Fulmer as anything more than back of the rotation arm anyway...he'll be a good long man, and could potentially be a nice setup guy if he can find 2 pitches to locate.

Only watching via Gamecast..is Carson getting squeezed? 5 BBs in 3.2 IP is no bueno.

Yes partially, but his command is also off too.

ref sucks but he's hit couple guys too

Strikes out Gomez to end inning.

 

Well, it's "only" 3-0 .... coulda been much worse.

They're minor league stats but here you go

.951 OPS as a righty, .753 as a lefty.

 

Interestingly, that completely flipped the very next season:

That ball was flat, down the middle, and 92 mph, and Gomez swung right through it.

He's very good if he only has to pitch an inning or two at a time. Obviously that isn't what we hoped for when the Sox drafted him, but he could still be a valuable contributor on the next good Sox team.

If he never fixes his command he'll be a reclamation project the rest of his career.

if Jose and Avi are just going to go 0-whatever this offense will never score.

I've noticed that his command generally gets worse as he fatigues during a game, so my hope would be that he can go all out for an inning as a reliever and be elite in that role.

Oh come on Abreu

1-18 for Abreu at home
