July 12, 2025Jul 12 Schultz just gave up a 3 run shot in the Futures Game. Not worried yet, but things are not trending well at all.

July 12, 2025Jul 12 Schultz and Smith have both regressed. Is it time to question the Sox pitching program? McDougal went to an outside pitching lab to fix his issues. I don’t think you can just assume Bannister is a genius.

July 12, 2025Jul 12 I’ll also add Iriarte is basically a NP now, Eder regressed until he was DFA, and Nastrini turned into a disaster. I’m not expecting perfection, but the track record is starting to look a little frightening.

I don’t think you can just assume Bannister is a genius. I did not realize McDougal went to an outside pitching lab. That does not seem great.

I remember when Luis Alexander Basabe hit a 3 run homer in the Futures Game. 43 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: I did not realize McDougal went to an outside pitching lab. That does not seem great. Yeah he went to Cressey supposedly.
July 12, 2025Jul 12 Some teams, including Sox teams of the past, discourage or prohibit use of outside labs/coaches/etc. At minimum I'd say it's a good thing if the Sox current leadership lets guys go get external help when they want it. Even better if it works when it happens.

Taylor wasn't struggling in AA and skipped AAA; but he has command issues...too much over the heart of the plate. Now maybe the major league pen is the proper place to develop that, but it needs development. All of this another reason I'd rather they not use early draft capital on a pitcher.
