bmags Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I didn't think our bullpen would be able to hold a lead all season, but they've been alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Young guys doing it again. Great pitching, defense and great base running with that speed. This is some seriously fun baseball to watch. Let's go out and snag game two tomorrow. Love being the spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarComing25 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I really hate the Royals so I'd be fine with another sweep. We can start losing again afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Nice win. Lopez was electric early and then his stuff flattened out. Nevertheless he should be a lockdown reliever at least. I love how hard our fringy prospects are playing. Engel looks like a cromulent 4th OF. One of Smith/Omar would be a good backup C. Delmonico has impressed me and should be at least a bench bat. I still think that Leury will be a regular or super utility guy for years to come. He can play and got a bad rap for his awful first stint with the Sox,but has produced in the minors and now in the big leagues. That Alex Rios trade is looking pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially those two corner infielders they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) Engel and his new batting stance belts 2 triples, makes a diving catch in CF and scores on a bunt from 3rd with a terrific slide. Delmonico with an excuse me swing gets an infield hit and gets on base in the 10th straight game to start his career. Last time that happened with a White Sox rookie was 1936. Everybody's favorite whipping boy Tim Anderson 2/4 including a 2 run HR in the 4 run 7th inning. It was his 12 HR. Moncada 1/4 . Average up to .215 now. Oh yea Lopez did a good job. Clippard got another save . In his last 11 games he has an ERA under 1.90 and struck out 12 over 10 innings. He owes his recent success to video work with Cooper to get his mechanics where they were in the past. Eat s*** Kansas s***ty .

Like a boss compared to some of our other starters . He was K'ing guys early but then they stopped and Moustakas hit 2 HR's off him . He went 6 so no problem there. Had 3 walks, that's a little too many but not excessive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 By the way, the game was AWESOME to be in attendance at. The fireworks display afterwards was phenomenal. Weather was great. I was at a Cubs game 10 days ago and now a Sox and the Sox just have an overall better experience to enjoy a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sweep their asses. Especially those two corner infielders they have. I don't care about draft position period. I want our young players to do well and for the Sox to win. This isn't the NBA. #1 pick or #3 pick...big whoop. Young players playing better advances our rebuild effort much more then the difference in a couple of picks.

greg775 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I like what Anderson is doing. This is all Sox fans want. Signs of him being special. He's been stroking it lately. 12 homers isn't bad. If he had a big final six weeks he could hit 18-20 homers. Again, not bad at all. He really is starting to look comfy hitting in the Cell during this long homestand. Abreu, Moncada and Tim Anderson could be 3/4 of a playoff caliber infield for the next 10 years. Just need a 3B to go with them. I'm glad to see Delmonico keep getting hits. Two triples in one night is good stuff from Mr. Defense. Obviously glad with our pitching. Lopez, Rodon at least give the Sox 2 good starters in a 5-man rotation. The rare occasions you get the good Miguel you have 3 guys who can finally win on a given night. Holland and Shields obviously are embarrasments.

Jerksticks Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 If we're comparing him to Sox pitchers it's Peavy with that arm motion. I always thought Lopez was the top piece in the Eaton trade and the toughest for the Nats to give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a great debut but def have ammo to both sides on whether he's a long term starter or lights out no piece. His velocity maintained but his stuff took a step back after 3.

I'm guessing he was a little over amped in the first few innings and might have tired quicker than usual though. I don't think he's going to be throwing 99 and 100 most games, prolly somewhere in the 95-96 range going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
