TheTruth05 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Toughest matchup of the series but we have our ace going so hope it’s a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reiks12 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Last time Glasnow pitched against us i was completely demoralized. Lets hope Lynn is Lynn and dominates yet another lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Everyone from the bullpen should be available...but hopefully we don't need them at all...or maybe just the man from down under to finish off a great win!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XplodingScorbord Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I like watching the Sox beat up on inferior teams like the Tigers, but I would love to see the Sox turn in three solid showings against a quality team like the Rays. Don’t need to win them all, though that would be preferable; just play smart and keep ‘em close. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope Lynn is Lynn and dominates yet another lineup. Our offense isn't built to hit tough aces. We have to let our SP's hold them to two and take our chances. This is okay because when we get healthy for the playoffs things will be different. For now we need our pitching to continue being elite and just grind it out at the plate.

Bob Sacamano Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Lineup I would like to see/expect (probably see a lot of lefties tonight): 1. Anderson SS 2. Grandal C (see as many pitches early as possible) 3. Moncada 3B 4. Abreu 1B 5. Lamb DH 6. Eaton RF (not that I really WANT him in the lineup but more expect) 7. Engel CF (defensive purposes/breakup the lefties) 8. Goodwin LF 9. Mendick 2B (will probably be Leury though) Edited June 14, 2021 by manbearpuig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Our Sox have been great at home...Tampa has actually been great on the road...Should be a terrific series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyJenkins Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Glasnow added an effective slider. Gonna give the righties major fits. Quote Glasnow uses his two breaking pitches a little differently. He throws his sliders in the strike zone 59% of the time, while his curveball is out of it 56% of the time, making it his chase pitch. Throwing his curveball less often has made it more effective, allowing just a .086 batting average against and generating a 69.1 K% this year. This is game 1 of the ALCS matchup here (without 3 of our best hitters), so let's see how they battle and it would be great if they can get 3 across against this floppy haired marvel.

Jerksticks Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) If only we pulled the Peavy for Nick Kingham & Glasnow trade. We wouldn’t even be talking about any of this! Edited June 14, 2021 by Jerksticks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I would love 3 saves in a row for Hendriks as a little metaphysical payback for that Australian asshat Balfour....Revenge is a dish best served very, very , very cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) The White Sox own a .539 winning percentage against the Tampa Bay Rays (89-76), second best among AL opponents to Texas (.545). Tampa is the only American League opponent team the White Sox have a winning road record (43-41). One area the Sox will hopefully rectify this season is their postseason record against Tampa (1-3 .250, tied with Baltimore), and possibly Oakland, Toronto and Los Angeles. 1-3 Tampa Bay 2008 1-3 Baltimore 1983 1-2 Oakland 2020 2-4 Los Angeles Dodgers 1959 2-4 Toronto 1993 3-5 Cincinnati 1919 (Lost on purpose) Edited June 14, 2021 by South Side Hit Men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(^^^case in point) Again, your obsession re my posts (^^^ case in point). The two times I addressed the Cubs here was last September, when I stated I wanted the Cubs to beat Cleveland, our actual division rival, to help the Sox win the Division; and then recently when I stated there are more important Sox rivals than the Cubs. I don’t give a rats ass whether you or anyone else bash the Cubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
