June 10, 20241 yr Hopefully this is the beginning of a renaissance… the start of a right handed Mark Buehrle career badass motherfucker.
June 10, 20241 yr One of the best change up ever was HoF Trevor Hoffman. He was a very soft tosser but was basically unhittable. Johan Santana was another great pitcher with an unhittable change up, he owned the White Sox. I am pumped up to see the Sox playing the youngsters , let's go !!
June 10, 20241 yr Dang west coast game , I'll be out cold by the 2nd -3rd inning. Tuesday night : Thorpe vs Woo, Ronnie Woo Woo would go to town on this game
June 10, 20241 yr 10 minutes ago, Jerry McNertney said: Why not Ky Bush too? absolutely , add Mason Adams to the call up list. Soroka needs to move on.
June 10, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, Jerry McNertney said: Why not Ky Bush too? I agree. He’s been outstanding this year and being that he’s 24 already I’d like to see him get MLB innings soon. My guess is we’ll see him late next month after the Sox trade Fedde and/or Crochet.

Will imagine the opposing gameplans will be to sit fastball and only swing at that. They will all strike out looking as he throws it for a strike. His control is the calling card. As long as there is enough of a speed differentiation he will be fine.

Hoffman actually had a 95 mph fastball before injuries. https://baseballhall.org/hall-of-famers/hoffman-trevor#:~:text=During the 1994 players' strike,reduction for a power closer.During the 1994 players’ strike, Hoffman injured his right shoulder twice in one day while playing sports on the beach. He subsequently saw his fastball velocity wither from 95 mph to just below 90 – a potentially career-ending reduction for a power closer. Looking for an alternative out pitch, Hoffman adopted a discarded change-up grip (one that closely resembled a palmball) from teammate Donnie Elliott. From that day on, his career would be forever changed.

June 10, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, ScootsMcGoots said: Might not need it if he's not a flamethrower right? Theoretically, he's got less a chance of needing it.
June 10, 20241 yr 2 hours ago, ScootsMcGoots said: Might not need it if he's not a flamethrower right? I was watching his highlight package and it seems he's 91-93 and tops at 94.

June 10, 20241 yr I'm skeptical. I've seen Charlie Brown get the football get pulled from him as he falls on his ass too many times. But I wish him the best
June 10, 20241 yr The constant negative take on every prospect from the same person/people is getting old AF. plenty of legit reasons to hate this organization, we don’t need to put a negative spin on every. single. prospect.
June 11, 20241 yr I know it's a dream come true for the kid and happy for him but am I the only one who would rather not have any of our prospects near this losing environment with this toxic team and that locker room?
