What's happening with Jo-Han?

He hasn't looked to hot lately.......7-5 and ERA approaching 4.

Is he hurt?

He's definitely not the same as he has been the last few years, I don't think his location has been that great... he has been leaving alot of pitches up in the strike zone and he seems to get rattled much easier than last year.... kinda like Lohse.

jim are u trolling like windy?? lol only in illiNOISE... Johan isnt as sharp as he has been but i will still take him over freddie garcia or anyone else on the whitesox staff even Buhrle. Everyone knows Johan is a 2nd 1/2 pitcher has always been that way.. look for the win total to go up and the era to go down... and as windy would qoute a totally overrated broadcaster,, YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD,,,YES!

Man, I really can't stand Hawk...........getting really old.

You know what I really hate............ "Stretch....stretch........" Wow that's bad. Like Harry....."Long drive, deep drive....caught by Ryne Sanderson at second base".......

Just bad TV.

Hawk and DJ must go!!!!!

What I heard is that the pitching coach changed some things in his mechanics. They did this so he would not tip off his change-up. I don't think it's working too well. The other thing is, maybe the scouting reports have caught up with him, and batters have a better idea of what to do when they face Santana. I still think he is an above average pitcher, and feel confident they will win when he takes the mound. More so than Radke anyways.

If you compare his numbers with last year they are about the same. I have confidence that it is going to be just like last year. We were down by 7 at the all-star break and came back and won the division by 9 games. A sixteen game swing after the all-star break. I know that they are different teams now, but it is going to happen.

Anyone put any stock into Redman calling a bad game yesterday? I don't know, maybe yo-han is having trouble pitching from the stretch. He seems to be doing well then all of a sudden a 2 out rally. Its either mental or mechanical because his arm still seems lively.

I personally think he's going through his dead-arm phase a little later this year. He'll be back.

Also, you've gotta realize that he would be 10-5 this year if Gardy wouldn't leave him out there all night long. I understand that he's your best arm and in many situations you let him work out of jams, but why not go to the pen in the bottom of the seventh with one out and runners on the corners. You've got a guy in the pen who has been lights out all year; you've gotta use him. The exact same thing happened a couple weeks ago in Milwaukee. The recipe that has won us three straight titles is: starter goes six, then two releivers and a closer. We still typically do that with anybody else but Jo. I think Gardy counts on his starts as bullpen rest days.

Yes, compared to last year he's WAY off.

Through 18 starts this season, Santana is 7-5 with a 3.98 ERA, 26 walks and 143 strikeouts.

Through 18 starts last season, Santana was 7-5 with a 3.89 ERA, 29 walks and 125 strikeouts.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
