6 hours ago6 hr Interesting. Feels like the inning limit stuff may not be so pressing then, although the Sox are likely trying to add another SP.
6 hours ago6 hr If Schultz was where they want him to be, he would’ve been moved to the pen to extend his value this season before hitting his IP limit. That they’re willing to burn those remaining innings in the rotation through a handful more starts screams that they’re more concerned with development than 2026 impact, imo. A good thing for the future but sort of a damning take on where their current evaluation of him is at. All speculation, of course, but Fedde has far and away been the better starter the last month or two.
6 hours ago6 hr Feels like something you say when you have information but you can't reveal it publicly. Feels like this is code for "we are going after another starting pitcher."

Feels like this is code for "we are going after another starting pitcher."I agree. Best at this point is to let it play out, at least until the end of the trade deadline, and maybe even until Schultz has another start. Noah came within one bad pitch of keeping the game scoreless which could have put that game into extra innings. As Plesac commented, Noah was very aggressive in the strike zone when he had to be. You can teach some pitchers how to grip and throw a baseball, but you can't teach the leverage he has from his 6'10" frame.
6 hours ago6 hr Has anyone associated with the White Sox stated that Noah has an innings limit and what that limit is?

After yesterday’s start, he’s at 88ip this season. Even if you stretch him to 120, that’s only 5-6 more starts.

3 hours ago3 hr I am very surprised and I don't like it. NS has not been consistent and we have lost all of his starts in the last three months (some hyperbole there but maybe not). Has he shown flashes of dominant pitching at times? Yes. Is he someone I trust to start a playoff game if we get there - no. Fedde has stepped up and in my opinion, we should be going for it now and not wasting every fifth day on a young pitcher. I liked the trade last night with the assumption that it bumped NS to the bullpen or AAA. I like it less so now.

54 minutes ago54 min I'm guessing if (when) the Sox acquire another starter, Schultz goes back to Charlotte.Again not the kids fault, he's learning on the job at the highest level and that's tough to do.
