bullpen initially, my guess is Hector Noesi is on the shortest of leashes.

I'd bet my ass Jerry watched today's game and made a phone call. This is a shocker.

one guy had 34 minor league innings, the other 773 minor league plate appearances? :scratch:

You seem to avoid my questions?

Explain to me the difference now between this and what the Cubs did with Bryant, I sit back and wait for your answer.

No difference - I never got the outrage on Bryant and I'm a Sox fan. I'd do the same thing in their shoes.

Any "outrage" was completely fabricated with the hopes of ribbing Cubs fans.

22 weeks is greater than 12 days.

Baseball is just a bit too complicated of a sport for you.

Twelve days are real. 22 Weeks are theoretical. Anyway, that's a concern for executives. Not fans. Who knows where any of us will be in 2021.

Do you think you're a GM or something?

I'd be a superior GM to you.

Good luck with Brett Jackson.

There is no real difference between Rodon's situation and Bryant's. There is a difference in perception, the Sox got a pass and the Cubs got raked through the coals.

Which is funny because the Sox are run like a Daley Administration with tons of neighborhood cronyism and patronage filling their staff while the Cubs are modern sport's shining example of lies-without-borders Washington-style image mocking. How is it the Cubs were saddled with the BAD OPTICS?

22 weeks is greater than 12 days. A concept that is simple, and has been repeated many times. Baseball is just a bit too complicated of a sport for you. This is why it cannot be the most popular sport in America. Simpletons just don't get it. Someone give JORR the WWE schedule. I think that may be more in line to his tastes.

Who knows where any of us will be in 2021. It's typically the opposite. Executives rarely know where there'll be a year from now. The White Sox are in the minority where a job equals lifetime employment.

Just like I'm betting the decision to hold Kris Bryant back for those 12 days was the right decision for the strength of the organization.

How is it the Cubs were saddled with the BAD OPTICS? That's not true though. As I said, Bryant had dominated the minors for a full year and then dominated spring training. Rodon had limited minor league innings and obvious control issues in spring training. Nobody thinks Rodon is the Sox best pitcher right now. The Cubs obviously believe Bryant is their best player as evidenced by his immediate insertion into the clean-up spot.
