Not even the slumping Guardians are totally out of this with their easy June schedule. So it’s the worst of all worlds where we stick with the veterans because we’re still in the division or WC race, even without Anderson. Of course, these next three series could really put us well back below .500 again. What the Sox do shouldn't be predicated on the status of other clubs. If they got their own problems and we got ours , Great !! What better time to play around with some kids up here to prepare them for the big leagues and send a message to the vets. Produce or you will be replaced or we start trying you at other positions and you'll become a utility guy instead of a starter. Too many guys feel secure, including the bums in the front office. Too much lethargy everywhere. Edited May 31, 2022 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralChamps21 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 OK, apparently the #15 prospect is the worst farm system in baseball is going to be this team's savior. You can all tell me "I told you so" when he has an OPS over 1.000 in this year's postseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was rushed into the Bigs to play positions he'd never played before and had to face major league pitching as his introduction to professional baseball. I don't know that this hasn't impaired his development. But the Sox drafted him in the first round - so he must be Major League Ready - right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve had awful production out of 2B all season and Leury is probably our main SS now.

The way I saw it was that he was in immediate pain and as he was being helped off, it looked like he was able to walk, albeit gingerly, with help.

Would have been pretty easy had the Sox not tried to be cute at second base with Harrison. Trevor Story was there for the taking. He would slide right on over, and Yolbert would be a nice gap filler. Hopefully the Sox don't pay with losing the season, but cann't say they wouldn't deserve to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a personal attack. Lol. "Psycho." Seriously, anyone who supports this organization right now is the very definition of a Stockholm Syndrome survivor. And I actually do have a good friend who writes to various Sox personnel via their chisox.com e-mail addresses, but it's more for therapeutic purposes, not with the belief anything would possibly change. Finally, no sponsors would care a whit about what someone without season tickets living in another country has to say about the White Sox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need an incremental upgrade or at least a chance at an upgrade. Harrison has had his shot. It's time for someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 In other news, the Twins are starting to falter and can hardly field a team right now, and they go to Toronto after us. Word is “multiple” prominent twins won’t be making that trip. Schedule starts to get tough for the Twinkies after this Detroit series - could definitely see this being their high water mark. So for anyone searching for a positive, that’s all I got. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kids Can Play Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 17 hours ago, ptatc said: You to define stretching. Passive stretching, which I grew up with, where you are in a position and try to lengthen the muscles has been shown to actually cause more muscle injuries than it prevents, unless you have a significant decrease in range of motion. It has also been shown to decrease power and performance during athletic activity. Dynamic stretching such as monster walks and high knee drills are the best activities to get the muscles ready for athletic performance. However your overall point that there needs to be a significant overhaul in their off season training is right on point. Whatever stretching the team is doing is obviously not effective. Here is a good article on proper groin stretches: "Running Tips You Should Know: Dynamic and Static Groin Stretches" https://www.healthline.com/health/exercise-fitness/essential-groin-stretches After you read these comprehensive techniques, you seriously have to question if our Sox players are doing this much proactive stretching! I am not claiming these are the absolute only ways or techniques...maybe there are other more modern techniques. However something has to change. Our players have suffered way too many hamstring and groin pulls and tears in the last two seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Have there really been no rumblings from within on how serious this injury is? I am braced for a September return, but fuckina hearing a 3-5 week timeframe would be such a morale boost personally, and hopefully for the boys as well. Just praying for some good news.
