I know it is in Tyler Wells DNA to throw a lot of strikes, but team-wise CHW is continuing its long tradition of being among the very worst Clubs at chasing non-strikes.     Catchers, coaches, whoever - please use a little bit of caution, at least with Robert and Moncada.

Clevinger, Kopech and Cease are the 4-5-1 starters, so another very tough opponent for Grayson at the end of the series.

I was surprised looking at RS/RA that despite Cease being terrific, the White Sox have let in more runs than the Orioles in their first 13 games.     All three of their SP this series are walking >10% of Batters Faced so far.

I don't understand how the White Sox have the early record that they have.  They have some good talent.

Our pitching needs to get it together.  Unfortunately, I don't think this is the series they do it.  

Bad BP, cancer for Hendricks didn't help em, Tim Anderson and Eloy Jimenez both hurt already... the team is stacked on paper to start the season but injuries doom them annually.

Be very happy to take 2/3 with how we have been pitching. 

Even if our pitching had been great, we should almost always be happy to go 2/3 on the road against quality opponents (asking in advance, of course).

Was hoping we would avoid Cease. Slightly annoyed that we keep drawing aces in this young season. Are we ever allowed to miss a teams ace in a series?

Well, we missed Cole during the Yankees series.  But we made up for it by treating Brito like an ace… the very same Brito that the Twins knocked out of the game in their nine run first inning at Yankee Stadium yesterday btw.

      Orioles vs Tigers/KC (Wild Card series)

      No, as it appears to be a group think decision, where all have some input.  In the end it really doesn't matter if it's all Elias, Sigbot or Hyde or some combination of the 3, Hyde is the one who defends it to the media/fans, and he's the one who gets paid to take the critism/blame.  Either way, starting Slater is the move that WHOEVER make the decisions appears to love, so that's what I expect to see, even if it doesn't make sense based on this years performances.

      Baker optioned, Davidson called up

      By eddie83 · Posted

      I’m guessing he may be bulk reliever later in game. Have to see.

      You think Hyde alone makes the decision?

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By ace20251 · Posted

      Gil has been terrible in his last 2 starts, he has  given up 10 earned runs in 11 innings

      It's a meaningless game so hard to read anything into it. It could also be more of an "opener" gambit so that Davidson can be brought in with favorable matchups. For a team that believes so strongly in matchups, I don't know why we don't use the opener more often, especially when it has been effective against us.

      Both are deserving. That’s not the point. How they construct the pen in ‘25 may be different. None of the guys you mentioned have been pen guys, although McDermott probably should be. Young and Rogers are more of a starter repertoire. Armbruster and others, like Tony said in another thread, should be pen arms. You need flexible and effective arms to move up and down, while they gain experience. We need some guys with some swing and miss stuff. Adding Bautista back into the back end moves everyone down a notch, but some of the guys we have now will likely have to move on for the purposes of flexibility. There is always some natural turnover, and for good reason.

      And?  If they were buying his career stats, then they were fooled by a bait and switch.  Yeah, career numbers are good, but they don't reflect the reality of this year.  .541 OPS against LHP.  Elias/Hyde has a tendency to bring in guys who might have had good career numbers, but who are not playing at that level in the current year, but then letting them play like they are performing at career levels.  Slaters numbers this year don't reflect that he should be getting starts versus LHP over Cowser, even with the struggles Cowser has had.  That said, I fully expect to see Slater starting as that's the move Hyde will love, and will then speak eloquently at how great Slater is hitting against LHP this year, even though that's clearly a lie.
