Lip Man 1 Posted November 7, 2025 Share Posted November 7, 2025 Mark "Gonzo" Gonzales helping out the Sun-Times since he works in Arizona now.

Timmy U Posted November 7, 2025 Share Posted November 7, 2025 (edited) Nice to see Hagen throwing strikes. He, Schultz, McDougal, and Oppor have way more upside than anyone the Sox would go after in FA. I am also intrigued as to whether Shane Murphy could eat innings as a number 5. Stuff is meh, but that might be 70 command. Edited November 7, 2025 by Timmy U Brain fart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted November 7, 2025 Share Posted November 7, 2025 I think the buried the lede. Wasn't Shultz supposed to be here and going in AFL? I don't recall seeing anyone else mention this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted November 7, 2025 Share Posted November 7, 2025 OT: and some still refuse to believe Tony is in an advisory role. All Fall League pitchers have control issues. So many have a 2-0 count. Some are probably experimenting with pitches, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johno Posted November 7, 2025 Share Posted November 7, 2025 For the Sox to take the next step forward, this young desperately needs to come through!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems I remember a knee injury effectively ended Lance Lynn's career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They attributed it to the fact that he grew some. Its tendonitis not shoulder reconsturction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean it isn't concerning and given the track record of the Sox medical, training and conditioning staffs over the past several years, I take anything they say with a grain of salt. Legs are just important to a pitcher as the arm/shoulder. They form the base for everything that follows. If that is hurt other issues can start to take place because of trying to compensate for it.
