All the credit goes to the SOX, who could have thrown in the towel when almost half the starters went down. Instead, most everyone in the BP stepped up and the offense has become more consistent. All we can hope is the SOX stay in PO contention until they get some pitchers back. If they can accomplish that, they will be very difficult to knock out of the PO's.
When Turner plays 2nd base, this SOX line-up can match up with any in MLB. Of course, I'm speaking offensively, although the defense has improved. SOX need to cut down on stupid base running.
I believe having one BP opener is sustainable until Sale, Whitlock and Houck return. Hopefully, Bloom can acquire one proven starter ASAP.
Note: The Tigers' Lorenzen would be a good place to start. How do you feel about that RH?
Strider(RH) vs Bello
Bello will need a bounce back performance tonight after his previous less than stellar start.
The Braves will have another good RH pitcher starting tonight. May the SOX continue abusing these RH's.
Tonight's game will be televised on ESPN. Don't blame me; I'm only the messenger.
Go SOX!
I like your research, MOON, but in the words of a very smart person, whose name I do not know, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Since he's been in the BP, he's been his best as a SOX.
Also, if Cora was going to start Pivetta, he would have done it by now.
C'mon, Max. I've disagreed with some of d-money's posts, just like other posters have disagreed with mine. The way I see it is d-money loves the SOX and sometimes lets his emotions get carried away. My only advoce to d-money would be just count to ten before you post. Sometimes that helps.
