South Side Hit Men

This needs to be the lineup assuming Eloy is out. SP/Opener Dunning SS Anderson 3B Moncada DH Grandal 1B Abreu CF Robert C McCann LF Engel RF Mazara 2B E-4

Brutal call

Holy shit

I’m certainly happy drinking any Goose Island offering over that selection, even Cubby Blue. ?

I’d take that, and have Eloy Permanent DH, for whatever games he can stay healthy.

At least the Sox won’t have to give up Vaughn or another top prospect if Hahn wants to drink from the Samardzija well in 2021.

And the Rays reward for finishing with the best record, Yankees instead of Astros or Sox, not reseeding is criminal.

Looks like Ray’s Astros Yankees and the winner of Game Three in Oakland. Hoping for bullpen day against Manaea, they use Cordero and Rodon to close out the game unless the Sox put up crooked numbers in the next two.

Weeeeeeee. Just take him out to let him learn from professional ball players.

Bye Felicia.

Jon Garland finished with more career wins then the current playoff starters combined. It will take time and development, and another veteran starter or two. Wish they would replace Cooper with the SF Assistant who coached Lucas, especially if they lose McCann.

Short people got, no reason to live.

Who did Melvin start yesterday? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2-rfCnW5VlE

It’s one game, 2 runs are Tiny Tim’s, should be a 3-1 game. He needs to go a few more, Sox need to prove they can hit RHP. Afraid Tim motivated Bassitt here. Hoping Melvin goes with Manaea tomorrow, otherwise it could be difficult. Would be ready with primary relievers tomorrow to go 6-8 IP (Heuer, Crochet, Bummer, Marshall, Foster and Colome).

FTFY

The Sox could be up 4-0 and the ridiculous posts would outnumber sane ones 2 to 1, even with the two most prolific posters on ignore. Look at yesterday’s threads.

What do you do with Grandal at that point? It’s his primary value, that and getting the games played adjustment at catcher for his fWAR, and getting walks.

Bassitt came to pitch, looks as focused as Lucas yesterday, just with lesser stuff.

Nicky 2 IQ.

Tomorrow is a bullpen day, if Keuchel gives up a few more, makes sense to use the bottom of the bullpen. Hope they can get five from him. Tomorrow can be 2 IP for Foster, Crotchet, Heuer and innings from Bummer, Marshall and Colome.

One thing is certain, I hope Oakland goes with Manaea tomorrow.

When were the Sox in the playoffs last year, and when did I mention KW?

Playoff lineups, and bullpen availability, are determined by the general manager and manager, with consultation with Cooper. Every single game.

So glad we have three competent outfielders today. Nice try by Anderson, hope Dallas can keep the ball lower and get more groundballs.

Grandal walk up music.
