Cannon vs. Quantrill

Sheets back in

 

Glad to see Lee is catching. 

Grifol on Eloy, who has the day off today: "He feels good. At times it will grab a little bit. But for the most part, he feels pretty good."

More Grifol on Eloy: "What I know about Eloy is that when I’ve seen him healthy, he has no issues with running hard down the line. As a matter of fact, he takes a little pride in that because when he is healthy, he’s one of our faster guys feet per second ...

Throw out Jonathan Cannon’s rough outing against the Tigers and White Sox starters have a 1.88 ERA (11 ER / 52.2 IP) over their last 15 games dating to June 12.

Wait - this is from the SoxMachine article I posted.

“We measure all this stuff every day and he gets up there between 75 and 80 percent, between 75 and 83 percent,” Grifol said. “The thing we are looking at is making sure that instead of doing that in short spurts–we measure it out by feet too, we have 90 feet and we have the measurements how long he gets up in those high percentages–and what we want him to do and what we need him to do is just to maintain that percentage for a longer period of time. But he feels good. At times [Jiménez’s left hamstring] will grab a little bit. But for the most part, he feels pretty good.”

 

Today’s game points to Manfred’s trouble moving away from power to stolen bases. Rox have 2 hits, both HR. If those balls were hard singles, it is a 0-0 game. Ball go far, team go far. As pitch shapes get nastier and nastier, there will be a premium on maximizing what you do to mistakes. It is the best argument for why the Sox should grab Cags, if they get the shot, despite the 1b profile.

Ok that was nice but come on Schriffen LMAO

Looks like they might have dialed "Cal Quantrill" into the Trajekt machine and figured him out, a bit. 

 

DE BONG!

I did.  It isn't true.  Just watch him struggle. 

Re: my earlier point, 8 runs in this game, all via the long ball. Gotta develop power to compete.
