Ducksnort Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) First game of a tough road trip featuring the 2 best teams in the AL: Houston first and then Minnesota. See if the Sox can surprise and at least split this 4 game series with Houston, who won 10 in a row before dropping one last night. Eloy first game back from the ankle injury playing left field. See how he does out there with the crawford boxes. Peacock vs. Sox bullpen (Covey opening?) Really, outside of Alonso...this is a pretty damn good lineup. Lets score some runs boys. Leury CF Yoan 3B Abreu 1B Yonder DH (lol) McCann C Eloy LF Anderson SS Tilson LF Yolmer 2B Edited May 20, 2019 by ScooterMcGee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppysox Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I would like Cordell in the outfield...Jimenez at DH...Alonso on the bench. Best lineup for good defense-offense and Eloy health. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Can’t wait for Eloy to camp under a deep fly to LF and fall to the side of the tall wall, as if someone pulled the seat out under him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yes sir. Why are the Sox just delaying the inevitable with him? Do they really think he will gain any trade value or are their financial concerns? Matt Skole has an OPS over 1000 at Charlotte.

greg775 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Barring Eloy carrying us, we lose all 4. It was fun while it lasted, folks. Houston doesn't lose to teams like the White Sox. I guess it's always possible we win 1 but I'd head to Vegas and bet the house on Stros and over all 4 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yeah I remember actually betting on the Astros when they faced Chris Volstad and he ended up holding them to one run and the bullpen shut them down the rest of the way.
