Nearing a 1.4 whip and walking a batter in 65% of your innings pitched terribly sustainable for success. Mena may become a serviceable back end SP, but I think it was a fine gamble and do think Fletcher will be solid piece for the Sox. Good call. 5.7 bb/9 is rough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 My gosh. Another shutout. I was in the car for the 9th inning and the Phils' announcers were 'funny.' They were not too high on the 7-0 win mentioning one could say the Phils were helped "by the competition tonight." Meaning the totally inept White Sox. So many hitters who have no chance. You know things are bad when Sheets, Vaughn and Eloy are our main guns. Wowsie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Given their inability to score runs, is it a bad idea to literally get someone on, bunt someone over and use two outs to try and manufacture one run? Then again they need people to get on without an out or get on period… Every single game I turn on the at bats are brutal. I think I saw a swing by Fletcher where he was way late with his swing last night. At least when DeJong is up I feel better about him actually getting a hit worth a damn.

A-Train to 35th Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Who thinks batting Eloy second last night was a good move by Grifool? I mean he's not hitting a lick .095 to be exact, chases balls outside the strike zone, doesn't know how to move runners over and he has no baseball IQ when it comes to running the bases. Eloy is a pinch hitter at this point until he proves otherwise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eloy is a pinch hitter at this point until he proves otherwise. The Sox lineup had seven guys with OPSs under .600, including 5 under .500. Someone with awful stats is going to be slotted somewhere important when your entire team sucks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should absolutely play everyday he is able. I would bat him 3rd and just leave him there until Robert is back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 When’s the first no-hitter gonna be thrown against the Sox? Perhaps a perfect game? I feel like multiple ones will happen at some point this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him a chance to 'maybe' catch on with another team. Sending him to AAA would be so depressing. Release him for his own sake and the sake of anybody watching a Sox game. He is a wreck at the plate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinky Stanky Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 This has to be the result of the new hitting coach being brought in to improve the fly ball rate. Either hasn't worked yet or isn't going to and everybody's swing is biffed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
