Can I say neither and go with Bryce Harper instead? He'd be the perfect addition to this eras White Sox team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the same guy who was playing all 9 innings in Cactus league games this year and refuses to let any manager write him out of the lineup. For better or worse, Abreu seems obsessed with playing and I think Jerry will keep signing him until the wheels completely fall off. Before this pretty bad stretch, Jose was hitting the ball well. He just couldn't get a lot of his fly balls to fall or go over the fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you never know with hitters this old. Maybe he's finally at the cliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 So the same guy who has now struck out 10 of the 11 he has faced, also leaves fastballs right down the middle to power hitters? What an odd game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an odd game. He's pitching scared to Stanton. Which plays into Stanton's strength of hitting fastballs when he knows they're coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cease is a great pitcher having a weird game. He sucked against good offenses last year and he has to prove that he can pitch well against them. As good as he was at striking out hitters last year, his ERA was barely better than in 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 The ump finally called a slider on the outside corner for Dylan. Probably too late, but that unlocks a set of pitches for him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
