Dominikk85 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I like it. Obviously the sox could easily lose that series especially if they keep hitting like the last 7 games but still oakland at least has 2 left handed starters and an OK but not super great offense. The sox need to score early though because he As have a lights out pen, so they sox need to score multiple runs the first 5 innings The As are not an easy opponent but definitely prefer them over the Yankees or Indians. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Robert is not playing RF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Another thing to mention: on Tuesday it'll be cool in Chicago. It'll be 86 in NoCal. Maybe that helps Abreu, Moncada and Robert? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote4Pedro Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 In a big park like this I expect Madrigal to have a huge 2-3 games. Can’t afford to play shallow in this park and he get one over their heads in my opinion, so he’s gonna get a chance for some bloopers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksnort Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 This game is going to start at like 10:00 eastern with Oakland being the home team, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engel may not be as fast but i trust him more as the roamer in Oakland. I also trust him more in shadows and making plays at the wall.

South Side Hit Men Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) For TV, games will either be 2 / 3 or 9 CDT. With eight games on Wed and Thur, I’m expecting a day game after a night game if it goes 3. TB Toronto will be the first game each day.

Jose Abreu Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 No Matt Chapman, a declining offense (to be fair, ours has been too), and lefty starting pitchers that are objectively worse than Giolito/Keuchel. Wish we were at home, but couldn't have gotten a better matchup 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrankinSox Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 It's obvious at this point that Cishek is a reader of this board and doesn't have any real sources. He just reads what people are speculating about on here and pretends he has sources. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some signs of life from Robert was great this weekend, and the main bullpen pieces look dynamic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
