Haven't had good fundamentals since 2005 and 2012 and guess what Ozzie and Robin were mandating extra fielding practice / situational practice before games. Hmmmmmmmmmmm... Regarding the game itself, bullpen is now cracking apart and looking like crap, Anderson now with 16 errors. Red Sox will sweep them tomorrow, Twins will probably bludgeon them and then the Sox can start taking offers to see what they can get for some guys. You knew that with the pitching staff as decimated as it is this was going to happen sooner or later. I guess it was fun while it lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One a Rutherford type (the Rutherford at the time we acquired him); the other somebody with the upside of say a Gio Gonzalez when he was decent. Both in the very early stages of their careers, let's say these guys are 19 or 20. As much as I worship Jose, teams probably aren't going to trade us Eloy types to get him.

The wise thing to do is play him when he's healthy enough to come back. p.s. Where u been Caulfield? Were u put in the penalty box? We miss you and love Caulfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing devil's advocate the organization could say, "Well guys can't keep dropping like flies...sooner or later we'll be healthy. Then you've got Giolito, Lopez, Dunning, Kopech, Rodon and Cease...that should be MORE than enough." Of course it isn't but I'm just saying you can think the organization is going to use injuries as a convenient excuse to do nothing / very little this off season. I hope they don't, I don't think they will but nothing is guaranteed with this bunch. They have a very strange sense of logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Reading these game-threads after the fact sure is a trip. It's like half of you have amnesia and are just discovering that the starting pitching is utter trash other than Giolito. Games like this are the norm when 4/5 of your rotation is flotsam. Expect plenty more of this the rest of the season when someone other than Gio is on the slate. There is nothing in Charlotte other than Cease and retreads like Detwiler. This was always going to be another rebuilding season, especially after the TJ plague hit the pitching crop. Props to the folks in this thread who are level-headed and have quality contributions and make it fun to read despite the swell of shit-posts. You know who you are.

I'm annoyed that Lopez sucks this year. After his final two months I finally bought in to him and he completely regressed. Most of his 2018 was smoke and mirrors, i finally buy into him and he just sucks now. Rodon being injured and Lopez sucking has completely destroyed any chance this team had of a surprise WC run. They're going to have a really hard time stringing wins together with this group of starters. They're all AAAA fodder with the exception of Giolito. This season is frustrating as hell, but there are brighter days ahead. The consolation prize is an extra top 10 pick in 2020.

If we don't have an attitude of winning now, what makes you think 3 years from now will be any different. You will be posting the same post. Changes have to be made now. Maybe the Sox are too cheap and don't want to spend the money on bringing up a bunch of guys from AAA like Detwiller because it will cost them. They would rather lose.

Nothing in between is wise according to advanced stats. I mean I guess a triple would be acceptable (ball that doesn't quite escape the yard). This is not what good baseball teams do. Selfish teams, maybe, but not good ones. Steverson can hit the road. Way too many games we have 15 ks to 1 bb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same watching them last night. Certainly Anderson and Moncada have taken a big jump offensively. So has McCann coming over. I would guess we have to give Steverson credit for some of their success. But the overall SO problem w this team also rests to some degree w him as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how much to blame or credit Steverson, but the mounting strike outs has been a problem for a time. What bothers me is the White Sox have festering problems that seem to go on and on. I would hope somewhere along the line the strike out problem has been at least addressed by the coaching staff. But it is obvious that an offense has no chance when it doesn't put the ball in play. Watching strikes outs is boring. It's bad enough the team will have another losing season. It's boring watching Sox hitters walk back to the dugout with their bats in their hands especially when there is a man on third with less than two outs. It's not much fun, either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the 2020 White Sox pitching staff with the names you have mentioned. I've read a number of posts who seem to think the team is going to sign Gerrit Cole. I've read elsewhere where Cole is expecting a 6 year contract of $140 million dollars. I can't imagine JR and Hahn paying that type of money for him. We just have to hope that Cease and Kopech pitch decently next season. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
