Why is Noah Schultz's call-up significant for the White Sox?
Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody, Rahimi, Harrison, Grody on 104.3 The Score. Another fastball by Schultz and his ninth strikeout of the game. He is not allowed a base runner since Bernal reached on the drop throw at first base with two outs in the first inning.
That is courtesy of Charlotte Knights TV. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. And it's here. I was hoping to see this happen this season. I did not think it was going to happen this soon. Noah Schultz, the Oswego East product, is going to be called up and is expected to pitch tomorrow. This is welcome news for a team that needed starting pitching help badly.
What challenges does the White Sox pitching staff currently face?
You know what they need more than starting pitching help? They need hitting help. They're dead last in baseball in pretty much every major category. Do you really think it's more? Oh, yes, I do. It might just be equally bad. No, no, it's more. Since you brought it up, like, do I think it's more? Let me give you this stat, because... It's all a problem in the words of John.
How has Noah Schultz performed in the minor leagues leading up to his debut?
No, I don't. See, here's the thing. I don't think it is all a problem. And here's why. We're so focused on what happened at the start of the season where things were just absolutely terrible. Heading into yesterday, in which Grant Taylor, by the way, pitched two scoreless innings to start the game yesterday. White Sox pitching in their last nine games, when you look at either the starter or the guy who came in after Grant Taylor, who would be the bulk guy, a 1.27 ERA, best in Major League Baseball, period. A .93 whip. 33-12 strikeout to walk stretch. And during that stretch, by the way, they were 3-6 in those nine games.
What are the expectations for Noah Schultz in his MLB debut?
Which tells me they need hitters. So going back to what we said before the break, I'll tell you how I found out the news. Your friend and mine, your co-worker and mine, Mark Grody comes up to me as we're getting ready for dinner. In Vegas. In Vegas. And says, Marshall, did you hear the news? It's like, what's up? It's like, Noah Schultz is getting called up. And I think he thought I was going to be really, really excited. And the first thing I said to him was like, I think you're sitting next to me, right?
How does the White Sox offense impact Noah Schultz's debut?
This was at dinner at night two at, what's the name of the restaurant that we're at? Andiamo.
Andiamo. Andiamo, the Italian steakhouse.
Also where Layla spotted Doug Flutie, by the way.
I saw Doug Flutie.
And then we all saw Doug Flutie.
I had to.
Well, Marshall, you missed Doug Flutie.
Yeah, I had to scoot past him, past the host stand.
What historical context surrounds Noah Schultz's call-up?
And I was like, I'm sorry. And he was wearing a cool banana leaf print shirt. It was well done. And I'm like, oh, I'm sorry, guy whose shirt I like. Oh, my God, it's Doug Flutie. I'm pretty sure he heard me yell the name to our table because he walked by and stared at us like we had six heads each. But Doug Flutie was there and Noah Schultz. It was a very star-studded dinner. And so Ray is sitting next to me and Mark tells me this. And the first thing I say is like, oh, where's he going to hit?
What are the implications of Schultz's debut for the White Sox's future?
How are you not... Noah Schultz and Hagen Smith are two of the most... appreciated and just biggest symbols of White Sox fans looking forward to the season. Like we haven't had, I haven't been this excited about a prospect call up since I want to say Michael Kopech.
Grody was very surprised at Marshall's reaction as well.
This is a sign of hope. There's a prospect that you're excited about that you want to see. You've been watching him for years. And he finally gets called up because they realize this isn't okay, what's gone on with the starting pitching. And by the grace of God, it's an actual pitcher, 6'9", who you think is going to be a big deal in baseball. ultimately in his career, and you're not happy about it.
How do fans and analysts react to Noah Schultz's promotion?
Don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong, Layla. I understand what Noah Schultz represents. We haven't had something like this in a really long time. But let me give you the context of this. This is right after, I think, a rain-delayed game in which the Sox had lost to the Royals by an identical score of the day before. You know what that score was?
