Sure, if he's going to consistently throw 96-98 MPH instead of what he featured two seasons ago and early last year...

His average fastball this year is lower than last year. 

Big difference is he's keeping the fastball up this year - which led to its success year one with the + spin rate which has returned. Also, he's throwing more sliders and fewer change ups. 

Maybe Sox will win 3-1 then the bats will sizzle tomorrow.

I can't believe we used Matt Foster in the 8th in a 2 run game and it worked. 

 

Why does every left like Delmonico and then Palka and now Sheets have to have a complete collapse after looking halfway productive in a limited number of at-bats with the most favorable of match-ups?

Guess the question is already answered.

Nothing has indicated they will, but at least Gio is going tomorrow.

It's a bit like the opposite of Giolito.

Lucas is throwing more pitches than ever before low in the zone...whereas Foster lived with 75-80% of his pitches down or out of the strike zone until now.

Harrison swinging a tennis racket with no strings.

Not even sure a kayak paddle would help much in these conditions.

Hendriks up.

Heyward/Hoerner/etc., due up.

 

White Sox doing their usual trick where they score early and fail to add onto the cushion, thus putting everything on the defense and bullpen in the late innings.

Harrison is a crummy hitter IMO. 6-4-3.

There's no way Harrison is still on the roster in a month if he's still playing like this. 

Two minutes remaining in the period. 

Let's strive mightily to keep this game boring.

should have just bunted to give Timmy a shot

If Harrison wasn't making 5.5M I think Yolbert may have already taken his job

Harrison is unwatchable.  Just cut bait and bring up Yolbert already.

Cubs with the empty net

We need good Liam again. 

I hope yesterday's Liam is here to stay

100 on the first pitch. Did he fix his mechanics or something?

Just crossed 100.

I want three outs and a W.

His expiration date is similar to Jimmy Rollins', whenever we jettisoned him in 2016 and the season started to fall apart in so many ways.

Oh, they'll find a way.

Really inconsistent velocity for Liam today.
