caulfield12 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Bump...looking like we'll need just five more road losses to challenge fourteen in a row in 1924 after Black Sox scandal. Twins are reeling...which means we can fix them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I'm talking about Vasil, our second Rule 5 guy on the roster...having him issue an intentional walk on the road in the bottom of the 10th. Too much pressure.

Kyyle23 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I don’t think it’s more than ordinary pressure. No matter what in that scenario you are one mistake from ending the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they should let his mommy in the dugout so she can hug Vasil while a real baseball player goes out and pitches in that situation? You are beyond funny. He's a pro ballplayer. You crazies scream for the White Sox to take on every single rookie off the waiver wire and to throw them into the fire, except for the rookies the White Sox actually take off the waiver wire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why I even looked into this, but quite literally the first name I looked at in the rule 5 draft Garrett McDaniels (first pitcher taken after Shane Smith) did this two weeks ago in St Louis.

It’s a bunch of guys with very little experience 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Only -.2 position player fWAR through the first 1/8 of the season. We had -6 fWAR from position players last year (lol, wut?) so this is big time credit to Getz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
