ChiSox59 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 1 minute ago, southsider2k5 said: I didn't see the Fletcher play, but the winds are BRUTAL and gusty today. Typically when that happens at this park the winds above circle the opposite direction below the upper deck level. The balls in the air will go up at one angle, and then when they catch the lower jet stream, they suddenly move back the opposite way. You really see it on IF pop ups and high fouls behind home plate. Players will start running one way, and then all of the sudden have to break the opposite direction almost at the very end. He just slipped and fell. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleAleSox Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 5 minutes ago, JUSTgottaBELIEVE said: So once Clevinger joins the team, the starting rotation will look something like this? (1) Crochet (2) Clevinger (3) Fedde (4) Nastrini (5) Cannon Dare I say that’s bordering on a respectable rotation? It's at least interesting to watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Nice screen by the runner on Vaughn, almost caused an error on the throw back to first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like he’s 33-35. He can’t possibly be this bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSox2023 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Stone just called Brad Keller an “established major league starter.” I think he forgot to include the word “bad” in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Nice showing by Cannon. Pretty much the guy we've seen pitch in the minors. Going to throw strikes, induce contact, and doesn't miss an excessive amount of bats. Could be a pretty decent back-end guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 even when vaughn runs into one he's so far out in front it's a weak line drive instead of a 400 foot bomb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 The crowd just got really amped for a hard hit line drive to shallow left by AV that got caught. Send my man to Charlotte to get his groove back holy s%*#. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) This eventual rotation is going to be much better. Won’t improve the lineup unfortunately. Crochet Clevenger Fedde Nastrini Cannon Edited April 17 by WhiteSox2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Fletcher’s swing that at bat illustrates so many of the issues this team has. RISP, up 2-0 in the count, and he chases a low slider. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Also, why play Vaughn in this game instead of game 2 against a sinker/slider righty in Singer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
