White Sox/A's-- Pre-series Discussion

Recommended Posts

Wanted Houston or the A's to give us a shot at advancing and we got it.
Let's see if our bats can go to town on some LHP and then win a pitchers duel in game two.

Win out 2 - 0 and move on.

If it goes to 3 games, we're toast. Round two would take a miracle for us to win a 5 game. Good luck in two 7 game series.
Anything can happen. Expecting the worst and anything else will be gravy.

Sox playing in the house of horror that is the Oakland coliseum. What can possibly go wrong... 

Most encouraging things...

1.) We haven't lost to LHP all year

2.) Robert is waking up

3.) YoYo is waking up

4.) We won't be in no starter mode for the first two games of a three game set

5.) Madrigal is magical

6.) Pray that RR puts the best players on the field ( not holding my breath )

7.) Hopefully we have Eloy back

8.) Jose is Jose

9.) Our bullpen should be nails with the top dogs going strong

10.) It's baseball, so why not

 Dallas is a Playoff veteran and Giolito is not. Do you start Dallas in opener or figure their lefty will get hit and start Gio against him and Dallas to follow

I think Lucas will be fine. If anything I think his first inning struggles have usually happened at home. If he starts the game in the dugout he might not get as amped up.

I didn't care about the opponent as much tbh,just really wanted the ALC title.That being said I'm still happier we're going against OAK than CLE or MIN. Robert and Moncada looking much more adjusted is only positive. Hopefully Eloy is healthy as well. Let's win 2 straight

Have at it...

I think the Sox could surprise....because baseball

It wouldn't be a surprise if we won. I like the matchup but with the days off leading up to the ALDS, I think we need a short leash on SP's. Oakland's bullpen is lights out, so it will be important for us to get early leads.

I would start DK game one. I would also play Garcia in LF if healthy, Engel in CF, and Robert in RF while Eloy DH's.

Eloy HAS to DH this series. No excuses. If RR trots out EE out there at DH im going to fucking vomit

EE single handedly handcuffed Abreu in the Cubs series by batting right behind him. I don't want to see Edwin in the postseason unless he's pinch hitting against someone throwing below 90.
