Capn12 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Eloy at cleanup right now, doesn't make a lot of sense. But sure, put the hottest hitter at 6. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Get the first one, and I feel decent about the 2nd with the lefty in Falter going in the nightcap. Things looks a whole lot brighter with a DH sweep today. Alternatively, things look a whole lot more bleak with a bad showing today. About as big of a day as you can find in April, honestly. Hope the boys come to play. Curious who the 26th man will be - options on the 40 man include Martin, Scholtens, German, Alexy and Padilla. Martin threw 6 innings on Friday, so would be on short rest but is probably the favorite to get the call to give some length. Sholtens threw 6 innings Sat, so is probably out. Both German and Padilla threw an inning on Sunday so should be available but cannot give length. Alexy has 10 walks in 2 1/3 innings so probably isn't an option, though he'd fit right in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Padilla it is. 7 walks to 9 Ks in 7 1/3 in Charlotte. 1.36 WHIP in super SSS. Edited April 18, 2023 by ChiSox59 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 7 walks? Obviously the guy to be on the big league roster! They can all sit out there, and talk about their approach towards not throwing strikes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcq Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 The walks and HR allowed are downright impressive. Not to be negative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoesox Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Remember Greg Walker? I'd swap him out for the last 2 or 3 hitting coaches we've had. In a heartbeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScootsMcGoots Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I predict the Sox getting blown away in these series worse than they did against the Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 This 2 week stretch defines their season. I know they have injuries...but without some positive results (especially bullpen/fielding), I just don't see them getting out of a funk hole they have dug themselves in since Tony.

Really feels imperative they take 1 game. Taking both is a pipedream unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 In the past, it feels like when we all counted the team dead and out, they'd find a way to do something unexpected. This team feels a lot less downtrodden, but we will see how the day goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’ll win game 2. They still rock mediocre lefties, albeit no TA certainly hurts there. Wheeler will be tough in game 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcq Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 The Chicago White Sox have added right-handed pitcher Nick Padilla from Class AAA Charlotte to serve as the 27th player for today’s doubleheader vs. Philadelphia. Padilla, 26, is 0-0 with a 1.23 ERA (1 ER/7.1 IP), one walk, seven strikeouts and a .120 (3-25) opponents average in six relief appearances with Charlotte in 2023, his first full season in the White Sox organizaton.
