thxfrthmmrs Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 What are the pitching matchups? I would think former Sox Bassitt will get a start, most likely game 2. The A’s pretty much have to trot a lefty out there for game 1 (I’m guessing Luzardo). I would counter with Gio for game 1 follow by Dallas. McCann catches game 1 and gets to face a lefty.

BigHurt3515 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Assuming Eloy can only play DH and everyone else is healthy and we face a lefty my ideal lineup would be: Anderson Madrigal Abreu Jimenez Moncada Robert McCann Engel L. Garcia If Eloy can't go: Anderson Madrigal Grandal Abreu Moncada Robert McCann Engel L.

He just reads what people are speculating about on here and pretends he has sources. I mean, he literally stole that from fathom in today’s game thread. So either he’s lurking on the regular or he’s simply fathom. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 A few interesting comments from A's fans that I read suggested that they're mad about the 12:00 PM (local) start time because apparently their ballpark at that time of day and at 80-90 degree temps plays favorably to righty power hitters, i.e. the White Sox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mqr Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 3 hours ago, Jerksticks said: Truth. I honestly think the Sox saw NO advantage in winning the division, or at least viewed it as LESS important than health, bullpen readiness, lineup readiness etc. There really wasn’t. They got a significantly better matchup by not winning. Limping in kinda sucks, but the bats woke up and well be depending on the best pitchers. I think we all would have preferred they played much better the last week, but that would be mostly eyewash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.)

SonofaRoache Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Here is another thing to note. The ALDS starts Monday October 5th. So there is no reason we should be using any bad pitchers. We can go all out in a potential game 3 for a short leash day. Hell, if we win game one and have a lead in game 2, we may want to go all out to win game 2. That would give us 4 days of rest.

Yeah just started looking into it. Probably Bassitt for game 2. Luzardo, Manea (lefties) or Fiers could go game 1.
