Liking 1,2,3 in our batting order. I think Cora should stick with this even if Beni is in the lineup.

[Bellhorn04]

Benintendi is 'banged up' per Cora.

[TylerD]

My bad forgot it was an early start time. Stupid work.

 

Hope Sale rebounds. His last start was not the greatest.

[a700hitter]

It’s a very rough bottom 4 of our order today.

[jung]

Though I think there is a possibility that Beni is banged up, I think our boy Alex is sliding into Farrellisms. We are going to "protect" David Price. Beni is "banged up". Ah...... fond memories of those Farrellisms.

 

Then again, I don't have fond memories of that walking Port-o-potty walking out to the mound for pitching changes. Cora can't duplicate any of that on a bet.

If he starts with that “he impacted the ball” garbage I will just turn off the TV or radio when he starts to talk.

Which believe it or not I am fine with if we are winning the division by a mile. Being that we are tied for a second Wildcard spot and really can't afford to lose this game with the Yanks coming up I would be absolutely pissed to find out he is resting guys when he shouldn't.

I think it's all Tito-isms, actually.

Maybe WTF got tired of watching Beni half ass run out ground balls,granted he has not been the only one, but sometimes you just need to make an example out of someone on the playground.

Devers seemed to really like the 2 spot yesterday.

If you were informed before the season started that the SOX Ace would be 3-7 at the exact half-way point of the season, what would you have guessed the SOX W/L record would be?

Also throw in the information that Eovaldi would pretty much be unable to pitch in the 1st half.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When listing starting pitching, the two stats that I believe give the most indication of the pitcher's season is ERA and WHIP.

Based on Sale's WHIP 1.02, his ERA 3.59 is unusually high.

Honestly I would predict right where we are at. I would have still thought our offense would carry us and we would get some wins there plus we still have Price and Porcello. I wouldn't have predicted another World Series type year but I would have still thought we would be competing for a wild card spot which we are

[Thunder]

Wait a minute, I thought we were riding TylerD mojo?

That attrocious start to the season is what killed him. Outside of his last start he has been incredible. His starts against the Royals, Orioles and Rangers were fantastic. Not sure what happened against the Jays. Hopefully that is just a one off.

Rules don't apply to a700hitter. It's bad mojo creating a game thread after a loss, it's good mojo for that same person to keep going if the team is winning... I dunno. The rules on this board are lost with me.

[bkzwhitestrican]

I'll create the next one for you guys just to get everything back to homeostasis

[jung]

Lopez is a FB pitcher and since the Sox are without question a FB hitting team, he should not be a mystery to our hitters. Should be a good day for the offense.

[dgalehouse]

The White Sox are just another crappy team. A sweep is in order .

[jung]

Well there goes the no hitter. Don't have to worry about that.

[YastrzemskI]

Whew!

[YastrzemskI]

LOL.. still nobody out.

a700 “blatantly flouting the long standing Game Thread starting etiquette”.

 

So far he has majorly screwed up.

[TylerD]

Seriously what is up with Sale? Picking up where he left off against Toronto. Supreme suckage.

[d-money]

Sale needs to stop s***ing on himself.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sale is bi-polar. Today, again, we get the bad Sale.

[d-money]

This guy needs to stop this crap. People can blame catcher or whateva but this is on sale.
