caulfield12 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) Just saw this at CBSsports.com on their upcoming games schedule... TUE Ober/Martin WED Festa/Iriarte THUR P.Lopez/S.Smith MLB.com still has it as TBA on WED. Any confirmation? That's a VERY interesting move, considering how poorly he has pitched recently. As others have noted, they might be hesitant about using a Dunn (arguably the most consistent Knights' starter so far) if they're not currently on the 40 man roster, leaving the decision between Iriarte and White, who just got blasted in his last start for Charlotte after coming into the game with a sub 2.00 ERA. One thing is for sure, Minnesota's pissed after getting swept by the Braves and blowing a late 4-1 lead in one particularly-frustrating loss.

WhiteSox2023 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 The White Sox website shows TBD still. https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/roster/probable-pitchers If he does start, it’s gonna be ugly. Dude walks the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Huh. Iriarte has looked like crap every time out this year. There’s very little on his fastball and his command has been awful. Of the two, Nastrini has been better and he’s on the 40 man too. This would be a head scratcher, especially since they need someone in that spot moving forward. I would still do Vasil or B. Wilson, but maybe this is with an eye to the long term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 https://www.espn.com.sg/mlb/player/gamelog/_/id/5185140/year/2024/category/pitching The only thing I can think of at the moment is that Iriarte DIDN'T pitch against Minnesota once last season...but that's a pretty sketchy theory about choosing between Nastrini and Iriarte. https://www.espn.com.sg/mlb/player/gamelog/_/id/4422905/year/2024/category/pitching Going through Nastrini's record, he managed to pitch against TOR twice but never faced the Twins, either. So that leaves the fact that it's probably closer to Iriarte's natural turn in the rotation...would have to double check that, but it's whatever at this point.

Jerry McNertney Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 What difference does it make? Neither Iriarte nor Nastrini is any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I think we should definitely start Iriarte if the twins are pissed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
