Can Banks be a starter?

I don't see why not until the league figures him out, if they do.  But my guess is that the Sox are happy with him in the pen at this time.  He certainly seems to have earned the right to not be sent down when the rosters go to 26 but we will see.

I try to look at silver linings...

 

Banks has looked incredible. Move him from bullpen to #5 starter and Dallas to the pen.

Banks making Keuchel look like a minor league pitcher. 

offense production is starting to get worrisome.

4 innings, 49 pitches for Tanner. Looks like the wrong lefty started today!

When does offense ineptitude get looked at? 

I think we already did: there’s a balance right now between thinking this might be an actual problem against RHP and people pointing out that the White Sox have a huge amount of hard contact that hasn’t yet turned into hits.

Not sure how this filters out in the end, if you’re worried already go watch highlights of the 2nd inning and crack open a bottle of whiskey.

Adding insult to injury, Burnes and Woodruff lights out these last two days...otoh, Wheeler suddenly looks terrible again and was hurting in the preseason.

Woodruff with a no no against Pirates right now, pretty decent odds except pitch count early in the season.

Why is this insult to injury? Because some unconfirmed rumor that the Sox were going for them? 

Still got more errors than hits lol

DK is already at minor league pitching level.  

To be honest, this is probably less frustrating that losing to Bieber 2-0.

Dallas to the pen?!?!?! RELEASE HIS FKN LOSER ASS

Don't stop now, boys.

The way I look at this game is Bieber was on the mound, so having shit Keuchel give up 10 is the right time to do it.

Doubt they will move Keuchel out of the rotation now, but if he has a bad couple innings against the Royals, hopefully Banks is available to do the same thing as today…and then take his place!

This is a video game that you reset at 10-0 and start over. No reason to play this game out. Concede and move onto game two. Oh wait not allowed. I am against tanking but I'd tank the rest of this one to get it over with.

Can someone please explain why Danny mendick is on a mlb roster?

So why even play the game? What is the point of putting Dallas out there any longer?

It is kind of crazy how bad they have been. I really hope it is just we are slow to start, if the offense is going to be close to this weak we will not survive this year

Seeing everyone trying to pull outside breaking pitches is pretty frustrating. You know he's gonna throw them out there. Stone is right, he's barely pitching righties inside.

This outlook is fine until you realize "shit" Keuchel probably is just Keuchel at this point.

It's better not to ask questions you don't want to know the answers to.

Are we really going to see 18 innings of Danny Mendick today??

Cleveland has an offense this year. That should scare the living shit out of Sox fans. 

Nice hit by Timmy!  But please end the Mendick experience.

The problem is Cease and the better lineup should have played game 2.
