Lineups subject to change

 

How did DVS get Palette’s name wrong?

 

On paper, this one looks like another sure loss…although there’s slight hope without Jose Ramirez and Naylor traded lol.

Great…more Amaya to look forward to.

Hopefully they just go with Baldwin instead.

(Likely out for at least 2-3 days for Colson.)

I at least made it to early 30s.  Not sure if not stretching enough/yoga or not drinking enough fluids could be contributing factors.

There’s not being able to stand up after sitting too long issues vs. debilitating pain that FEELS like it must be a herniated disk requiring surgery.  Usually 2-3 days, 3-5 at worst to stabilize.

I remember the first really serious back pains came from too much racquetball and also repeated violent swinging motions in baseball, golf, tennis, softball over a lifetime…just accumulation of wear and tear and then not stretching well enough or at all.

 

Ofc…there were rumors of Montgomery back issues all last year.  His massive//growing size and defensive position on the field (SS) were two of the numerous reasons that Keith Law dinged him.

Yeah that’s not what I wanted to see given his back issues last year 

My best hope is that it's nothing but pushes him back from starting OD with the big club. Let C. Monty rake for a month in AAA, then give him a bobblehead day. 

I don't want him to become Colson Montcada.

Colson Montgomery has been scratched for precautionary reasons with back spasms. He is day-to-day.

Tristan Gray is now in the lineup.

@ptatc - How worried should we be about Colson’s back spasms?

Bleh.

Ugh, his back woes continue into this season…

Martin Perez looks like a pro pitcher. 

Watching the tv feed without audio is going to only entice the most hardcore Sox fans with this lineup...

Much like a dead arm if the player isn't back in a week or two get concerned. Until then it's a nothingburger. Last year he had oblique tear, different issue and unrelated to any sort of spasms he's having in his back. Young tall dude getting a shitload of reps after adding muscle so yea, could be just usual wear and tear from ramping up in spring.

Not a good sign with the issues last year. Can be a sign of greater underlying issues 

Could just be isolated but trending in the wrong direction. 

...And Benintendi's out of the game after a HBP.

It's the White Sox.

Nothing is a nothingburger.

At least Baldwin in the game...and Robert actually walked.

Law kept saying his back was an issue in 2023 as well. This can't be good. Hopefully they can find some sort of fix. We are due for a break.
