I wonder if this is preventative care for Grandal's knee or if he is having some swelling etc.  Last year when a ton of guys were injured, I think he gutted it out perhaps more than he should have.  

This is my hope, that they're just taking it easy and that this won't be the season-long distribution (now 15 starts for McGuire, 13 for Grandal). It's telling that the only people who are happy with the arrangement are only the ones who never liked him in the first place. It's wild to me every time I come back here and see that the view is still so prevalent considering how good he was last year

They're really tempting fate having both catchers in the game so much, especially with on at DH. (unless they changed the rule with the universal DH)

Looking for a reason to try Carlos Perez ?

No idea, but is it still the rule that if the DH has to come in and play the field, you lose it?

Yes

With the weird hamstring tendon surgery he had who knows how it will effect him. Probably good to rest him from catching more.

Yeah and it seems ok when Vaughn is out and Sheets isn’t really hitting (though I shouldn’t be in the field either).

Abreu is covering 1st. Vaughn isn't healthy. So who do you want on the field Sheets or McGuire? 

 

How about Engel who has hit well vs Plesac lifetime?

why does sheets keep playing rf instead of lf?? 

I dont understand.

Yeah, and I get that Pollock is better than LF than in RF but with Sheets, Eloy or Vaughn in the outfield, he needs to be in RF.

When did that terrible song come to start the home broadcast? It's like some rap rock from 2001 that should have never left.

Yoan already getting tested on the first pitch. Nice play. 

Always a good idea to walk the guy in front of Jose Ramirez, who owns a share of the White Sox.

Kopech wild again in the 1st inning. 

There’s nothing impressive about Cleveland. They’ll fade away soon enough. 

Good job to come back and get him.

Kwan got an amazing jump on that. That's on Kopech. 

Too bad the Sox didn't double up on contact heavy players from Oregon State because Kwan would have been an ideal fit on this team.

Moncada was going to be back in early April

Lynn was going to be back in late May

Only this dopey franchise

McGuire is a good thrower back there and wouldn't have had Kwan anyway, but I'm not sure consistently throwing from your knees is a habit to get into

LOL.....our right fielder.

Good thing Engel wasn't in RF tonight

good lord. Sheets is useless.

OMG

Sheets...you gotta me kidding me.
