Noah Schultz pulled from scheduled start today? Shoulder? May miss rest of season?

Anyone have a legit update just seeing some vague tweets

ForsterFTOG

Yet another china doll.

Augusto Barojas

Says shoulder impingement. They said could be out a few weeks, which might mean rest of season since not that much time left.

Shoulder impingements are a cortisone shot and back in 2-3 weeks. Anything longer than that and start thinking labrum. I’ve had a complete reconstruct on one and replacement of the other. Shoulders I know.

I thought he was slated for the AFL? Or is that just Montgomery?

As Cirensica

Why is Eloy not playing again?

funkerdan

something about something, a kid maybe?

funkerdan

Paternity can be up to 3 games

Right Size Wrong Shape

Paternity leave.

As Cirensica

Didn’t know. Well, congrats to the big guy/

David

Eloy can develop his own line of baby food: Strained Yammie.

Foulkelore

Good leadership by Elvis to get ejected so Sosa can play.

funkerdan

finally, I mean, someone else at short.

Augusto Barojas

The Sox have so many good players, it takes someone to get ejected to give a youngster playing time.

Sosa got a couple hits the night before, better rest him before he gets in any kind of groove.

Remillard’s average and OPS by month:
June .394/.899
July .232/.646
Aug .148/.296

mrridgman

He ought to be pretty good in September.

mrridgman

I think he heard you.

Foulkelore

Yep, and even Friday when Sosa was 0 for 3, he had 3 hard hit balls with two over 105.9 mph. Play him. Andrus isn’t going to be a part of the next contending team, and Remillard’s ceiling is a bench player.

Right Size Wrong Shape

He’s hitting into terrible luck in this series, but he’s looked pretty good. There should never be a game for the remainder of this season where Remillard or Andrus is playing and Sosa isn’t.

As Cirensica

Well… they ain’t catching that one

Right Size Wrong Shape

I think a fair amount of that production has come on infield / bunt hits, which probably isn’t that sustainable. As predicted, the plucky 29-year old rookie who loves to bunt has kind of run his course.

AZSoxfan

Nice to see Moncada come through. What a massive disappointment he has been.

knoxfire30

Is Steve stone alive….hasn’t been on the broadcast for awhile

funkerdan

if they said something, I missed it.

upnorthsox

What inning did he bow out? Maybe he had enough?

As Cirensica

I was wondering the same

FishSox

He started the game, was gone for a few innings, came back for about a sentence and left for the rest of the game. I hope it’s just something silly, like he spent the afternoon on the crapper.

Right Size Wrong Shape

Probably that.

Foulkelore

Also, just play Colas against LHPs too. Trayce Thompson also has no purpose on this roster.

upnorthsox

I beginning to find little reason for Colas purpose either.

Right Size Wrong Shape

I don’t agree with that. I see a guy who’s still raw, but is improving. He makes a lot of mistakes in the outfield, because I think he’s trying to do too much. I also think he’ll hit. I don’t foresee him being a star, but I definitely think he’ll be a productive right fielder in a year or two.

ForsterFTOG

Raw 25 year old.

As Cirensica

Same as Pedro

upnorthsox

I forgot what it was like to have this happen to the other team, it’s almost surreal.

Augusto Barojas

I missed the entire 8th inning… absolutely hilarious. I saw the score and was like “what?” Glad to see Sosa hit one out, that’s about the highest thing I could have hoped for.

ShorewoodWhiteSoxFan

Sosa should play every day the rest of the season.

soxygen

I’ve been enjoying the Barons game today. I hope Jerry doesn’t make any money from me watching the minor league on-field product as a protest to the major league on-field product being so atrocious. Oh well.

“The Chicago White Sox are conducting a series of internal interviews to determine whether dramatic changes are needed inside the front office or the coaching staff. This has been one of the most disappointing and painful seasons in chairman Jerry Reinsdorf’s tenure”
