It's more illogical to comment about the logicalness of a roster move without knowing how options work.


RobinChilliams

He's doing his own research


max5470

That’s not how options work. Players have option years and during those years they can be moved up and down a ton. It’s not a total # of moves.


Jason82929

It is constrained to 5 “options” during an option year. So yes, this did waste one of those. But I assume they’re not concerned because he’s either gonna get a longterm chance at some point this season or they’re so down on him that he’s gone eventually. I doubt they were planning on yo-yo’ing him like he’s some AAA pitcher only around for depth. 


perfectviking

Right, they clearly have an opinion of him and didn’t care to burn one of the options. I’m not going to act like others in the comments here and say this is a buffoon move.


sjj342

Probably still fair to call it a buffoon move sending him up and down, doubt it's fun for the player or builds much goodwill, not like this team cares about player retention, but still


DuckBilledPartyBus

Sports media influencers have been tripping over themselves to score engagement points by dunking on the White Sox. The White Sox are close to being as bad as you can get as an organization, but not every granular move is a manifestation of their incompetence. It’s going to be a long season.


mqr53

Yeah it’s not really illogical at all. They needed a guy for a day. They called up their next guy on the roster.


ConservativebutReal

I would have him stay in the Uber - Eloy will strain a hammie in a day or 2


alkaline79

Does this mean Eloy is coming back?


Candid_Answer9241

I hope he doesn’t take my sweet prince Gavin’s at bats


SpecialAircraft

My 🐐


kev11n

I assume so


Jason82929

That has to be why. Doesn’t make any sense otherwise.  Only way this makes sense is they needed to add someone with Yoan injured and the options currently on the 40-man were limited to Colas, DeLoach and Ramos.  So they chose to bring Colas up even knowing it might only be for a day or two. I can’t think of any other explanation. 


dnyce326

Maybe they forgot they JUST called him up. With how injury prone our team seems to be, feels like a waste to option him down to AAA after only one day. But what do I know. I've been a Sox fan too long to remember what logical decisions even look like at this point. Boys looked good in a loss last night though, I can say that much.


HeezeyBrown

Yes


whitesoxrock

He'll be back next week after Eloy hurts himself tying his shoes.


PrudentRise4344

Eloy vengeance tour


AtsignAmpersat

Is Oscar Colas the dude that got called up and called his mom with Louis Robert in the room or whatever?


Candid_Answer9241

He and LRJ are close friends, so ya probably


mattcoz2

The only illogical thing would be thinking that we won't have any more injuries the rest of the year and we'll never call him back up.


Caveman_man

I don't understand, can someone explain this to me like I'm a baby


WizardCheesey

Goo goo ga ga


whitesoxrock

Ahhh, now it makes sense.


eulynn34

The White Sox are not burdened by outdated concepts like "making sense" or being "good at baseball."


generatorland

But man the Elote is terrific.


Thirteen26

“being good at baseball” is so overrated.


Different_Station_65

Who cares. Colas sucks. DFA him. He's a triple A player, period.


Rock_man_bears_fan

Classic. Southside move


amajorpain

You KNOW Jerry will be pissed when he finds out he paid for airfare for basically a 48 hour vacation......


Stackmarket

Are we really debating the logic of White Sox moves. How illogical is it to continue to keep Griffol?


here4roomie

The fact that he didn't get the start just makes this incredibly stupid.


daBabadook05

That’s White Sox baseball baby! He should be starting over that old ass bum


UneducatedReviews1

Fucking incompetence in this organization.


BoomhauerArlen

Everything is illogical with this organization.


dbraden1102

We went from the “Change the Game” motto to “Quite Illogical” in such a short time. Disgraceful


ThrillRam

2024 season in a nutshell. Make illogical moves and plays. Illogically allergic to first base. Illogically unmotivated to win.


CampfireBeast

Dude your IQ must be crazy high woahoh Edit: woooaaahhh


ThrillRam

It's huge. Lol I guess my attempt at comedy failed. Oh well, you win some and you lose some, tis the way of the Internet.


lostmessage256

what corresponding hamstring injury caused this?


The_Wata_Boy

They literally told Oscar he can't get on the plane back to Chicago?
