It doesn't bother him at all to pitch. His arm is feeling great. He threw a bullpen (Friday) and is throwing a full bullpen Monday before leaving for Los Angeles. It's going to be a minor setback. |
It looks like, without snags this week, we're going to activate all three of them on the same day, which would be very refreshing. |
It?s something that I don?t take lightly. It?s a great, great franchise. |
It's a big blow, so we have to keep plugging and hope we can play better and better. |
It's a good gamble for us. |
It's a process of looking back over three years. There were a couple years when Will didn't pitch. And he pitched about three-quarters of the season last year. |
It's obviously not a place we wanted to be. For a lot of reasons, it didn't work out the way any of us wanted. You just have to adjust and move on. There is no sense taking the month of September, hanging our head and feeling bad about what happened the six months before. We're going to try to get some people more playing time. |
It's something that I don't take lightly. It's a great, great franchise. |
It's tougher than people think to find good starting pitching in the major leagues. |
My focus is we won 79 games. That's a bad year. Anybody who sits in this seat and thinks that's acceptable, that's wrong. The urgency for me is to rectify coming off a bad year. If the White Sox hadn't won, we still have 79 in the win column and that's never going to be acceptable as long as I'm doing it, and we have to try like heck to get it fixed. |
Nobody is here at the park longer than Larry. And the pitchers recognize that. He spends countless hours trying to make them better mechanically and mentally. |
None of us is anticipating anything significant, but it is his shoulder. It's hard to believe that somebody can throw 98 mph and have a serious arm problem. He hasn't been to Mark with any complaints at all since he went to the bullpen. |
None of us, including Dr. Kremchek, are anticipating anything significant, but it is a shoulder. |
Obviously it's a tragedy. Oscar helped a lot of young guys become better pitchers and better baseball players. He has a wonderful family, and Oscar will be missed. |
Obviously, ... it's entertaining to watch. |
