Sandelin had excellent control of his pitches in his first start. In his next start he was aiming and missing the corners and could not get ahead of hitters. As Plesac said ad nauseum, White Sox pitchers have to throw strike one and avoid getting into bad counts. Sandelin has got to do that. His breaking pitch was an effective a strikeout pitch when he got ahead in the count.

So much for the Schultz IL stint to be minimal.

He's not injured again. OP or a mod needs to update the thread title as several of us have been bamboozled into thinking its new.

He's throwing either tonight or tomorrow in Charlotte.

I think the best way to know that something won't be a minimal stint, is if the White Sox say it will be a minimal stint.

I think they basically just wanted to limit his innings and have him work on some mechanical things and used the tendonitis as an excuse. Lets hope they were able to improve his fastball command. Hard to pitch when you can't throw a strike with it.

His stint was not minimal.

Exactly.

Yes! Even though this was discussed yesterday, I was fooled again today by the thread title into thinking Schultz had somehow re-injured himself.

Thanks @Quin for updating the title.

Thankfully, nothing.

Cough @Look at Ray Ray Run Sandlin unhittable so far. Come get your crow. Doesn't matter what he does after this because he has the W and he had to sit for the long 10 run inning.

Sandlin went up against a Royals squad that had a .780 OPS the last month with a number is lefties. He made them look like minced meat. Another masterful trade/pickup by Getz. He can be just an above average back-of-the-rotation guy and that trade will be a huge win.

So what’s the plan with Sandlin? Overall was good last night and if exclude the 4th where he was probably rusty from sitting so long he had five scoreless with five K’s and zero BB’s. I think he showed enough last night to get another start.

With nine straight days of games coming, I’d strongly consider going with a six man rotation over the next week. Martin & Kay will start the next two games against the Royals. That leaves Burke & Fedde to start games 1 & 2 against the Orioles, who are definitely better against RHP than LHP. Fedde isn’t ideal for this matchup, but I think we can get by with some creativity there. Newcomb is pitching bulk innings every three or four days. Assuming he gets a couple in relief of Martin tonight, he’d be on schedule for next appearance after Fedde. I think a lefty opener, followed by Fedde and then Newcomer is workable.

Game 3 against the Orioles becomes the choice then. Schultz should be ready to go for that start. However, the following night kicks off a series against the Guardians who are obviously the more critical opponent. They are also very weak right now against LHP with their best hitters against them on the IL. If I’m Venable, I’m pitching Sandlin in game 3 vs. the Orioles and letting Schultz take game 1 against the Guardians. He’d then be followed by Martin & Kay, which is a very favorable pitching matchup for us against our biggest divisional threat.

And if Sandlin succeeds, this allows him to naturally replace Fedde the next go around and be in line for a revenge start against the Red Sox at home. Fedde has pitched fairly well all things considered, but the dude is a ticking time bomb and will eventually implode if we keep using him as a SP. He’s also not eating up a lot of innings (six of his last eight starts under 5 innings), which is taxing a much depleted bullpen. Sandlin to me is a likely upgrade, even if he’s likely to be inconsistent and have some poor starts in the near-term.

Please pray for @ron883

Maybe they're gonna let him build some confidence off that strong start by facing a few AAA teams inbetween last night and his next big league start, he looked fantastic

They did him dirty.

Schultz is probably ready to take his next start.

He should be, but I think Sandlin is better than Fedde right now.
