There will only be one pornstache. Ever. That moniker has been retired.

Cease's mustache is just creepy.

I think he looks like Freddie Mercury, and I think Blacksox made a mention to that

Correct

batting averages -

Abreu .206
Robert .205
Garcia .114
Grandal .173
Engel .188
HARRISON .094
Pollock .182
McGuire .167

could it get any worse?

Sheets .227
Jimenez .222

do we have a batting coach?

White Sox: Foster is a high-leverage reliever
Those individuals who watched Matt Foster pitch in 2020 might disagree with his bullpen rise being considered a surprise after he posted a 2.20 ERA over 23 games as a rookie, with 31 strikeouts in 28 2/3 innings. But after a rough sophomore campaign, featuring a 6.00 ERA in 37 games, the right-hander is back with a 0.66 ERA in 13 games. He has incorporated an effective slider and curve into his previous fastball/changeup repertoire, and manager Tony La Russa loves his competitive fire late in games. Foster adds to a late-inning mix already featuring Liam Hendriks, Kendall Graveman, Aaron Bummer and the soon-to-be-arriving Joe Kelly.

If we were going to bench Grandal, or play the catchers at 50/50 - 60/40, why let James McCann go?? They still could have gotten something for Collins.

BillSharp · « **Reply #4411 on:** June 01, 2022, 06:47:53 pm »

they must be counting on the C at Charlotte. Carlos Perez playing next year. He's never been a top prospect, but I like him.

BillSharp · « **Reply #4412 on:** June 12, 2022, 08:00:04 pm »

Sousa has to go. I don't want to see him or his 9.00 era again on this team. It's shocking how bad the pen is.

Rough weekend for Foster.

Heh.

When did Sheets get sent down? Somehow I missed that.

msf · « **Reply #4418 on:** June 22, 2022, 08:19:31 am »

He started off very slow in AAA too after being sent down, been a while now, but he has heated up big time the past 3-4 games.

josephc · « **Reply #4419 on:** June 22, 2022, 06:50:44 pm »

Of course we take 2 of 3 from Toronto, but we lose our 3 best defensive players to injury.

josephc · « **Reply #4420 on:** June 23, 2022, 10:08:28 am »

Lenyn Sosa - come on down!

SoxRule · « **Reply #4421 on:** June 23, 2022, 11:27:02 am »

These injuries are getting out of hand now. Do we have a training staff? Can't ever seem to have the core of the team together at the same time.

PeteWard · « **Reply #4422 on:** June 23, 2022, 04:33:18 pm »

Sheets was sent down two weeks ago, just before they played Texas.

Didn't the Sox fire last year's strength and conditioning coach, who subsequently filed a lawsuit against them? I'll bet he's laughing to himself now.

BillSharp · « **Reply #4423 on:** June 23, 2022, 07:45:33 pm »

boy, do I feel bad for Danny Mendick.

josephc · « **Reply #4424 on:** June 24, 2022, 07:50:40 am »

Agreed.
Here's to hoping for a full recovery.
