6/9 vs Chicago Sox

[Thunder]

LHP Carlos Rodon (0-0, ---) vs LHP David Price (6-4, 4.08)

 

This TBD guy looks pretty damn good. But Price is better. Good vibes only. Win. Dance. Repeat.

Good vibes only - good luck with that, young man, with the crew we have here.

Sale, who self admittedly said he sucked in his prior two starts, is more patient with his teammates failures than many would be. The guy threw a gem and got another loss. Let's see if they can hit Mr TBD today pitching for a 21-40 team, against the Most Wins in MLB (MWiMLB)

What will our lineup be? Hard to win when relying on the majority of our lineup when missing two major stars.

Rodon today just got activated for the WS. One time a big time prospect.

White Sox starter is changed from TBD to Carlos Rodon, a lefty making his first start of the year after a rehab stint.

[Station 13]

A lefty with no Mookie and JD? Could they recall Hanley from his condo for a game?

[Bellhorn04]

I thought JD was playing today.

I thought JD was playing today.

 

 

1. Andrew Benintendi (L) LF

2. Xander Bogaerts ® SS

3. J.D. Martinez ® DH

4. Eduardo Nunez ® 2B

5. Sam Travis ® 1B

6. Rafael Devers (L) 3B

7. Christian Vazquez ® C

8. Blake Swihart (S) RF

9. Jackie Bradley Jr. (L) CF

 

That just got posted. JD is DH today. Swi in RF with JBJ then Beni in left. Devers still in. Somehow they have to get him off his feet I think.

Notice that when the bottom of order produces, this team doesn't have to much problems scoring.

Man, Nunez, Travis & Devers 4-5-6 must scare thehell out of the CWS!

It scares the hell out of me, but not in a good way.

[TylerD]

Let’s hope we have a better showing offensively. Can’t believe we wasted that perfect start for Sale yesterday.

Regardless you still expect we get a run or two. Last night should have been a win even missing two stars. Price has been nothing short of fantastic so If we even have a half showing from the lineup we should win. But if we play anything like we did yesterday then who knows.

[Jasonbay44]

Eduardo Nunez hitting cleanup? ummmm what

[Natick to NC]

We will score 9 today ....magic 8 ball says

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

These white sox are giving us more than we can handle.

[Natick to NC]

2 men on no outs with Abreu always healthy

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

Eduardo Nunez hitting cleanup? ummmm what

 

It's a joke. This cuteness is going to come back to bite us in the rear end.

[Natick to NC]

What a game thread this is ....

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

My only question is how bad can Rudney really be?

[Natick to NC]

Oh he's better than a few guys on the big club ...

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Oh he's better than a few guys on the big club ...

 

That's exactly what I was thinking.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JBJ put a charge in that one.

[jung]

JBJ put a charge in that one.

 

JBJ is much better off with the more pronounced leg kick stepping into his swing. Good that he is back to that. At least it keeps that corkscrew under some control.

[moonslav59]

JBJ put a charge in that one.

 

Too bad natick was "done with" JBJ, the HR doesn't count.

[OH FOY]

Now its the rest of the at bats that are important.

[jung]

Good God nunny

[OH FOY]

Surprised Travis got promoted he was not doing good down in Pawtucket. In May he hit .123

[Jasonbay44]

Devers seems to have been a lot better defensively lately.
