greg775 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Would be nice to beat Houston. For a team with a sensational record, Sox do lose to the Stros a lot. Of course injuries make all statements need a caveat. Sox have been so banged up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Glad to have the chance to watch a game at home tonight. Hopefully it turns out more like the Cincinnati game last Fall (5-0 win over Bauer) than the Houston game (7-3 loss, Lynn pounded early) last month. Should be good vibes at the stadium, and hopefully on SoxTalk, tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Adam doesn't play Sunday and one game on Monday I'll be concerned. He has only started back to back games once (June 9-10). Speaking of platoon splits, I'd like to see Hamilton start against lefties for his defense and .925 OPS vs. LHP while Robert is out. He could have helped the Sox yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The changes from yesterday are Engel from CF to bench, Goodwin from RF to CF, Sheets from DH to RF, and Burger from bench to DH, so it's not about platoon splits since the lineup just swapped Burger for Engel and on top of that made the outfield defense a lot worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you are correct laying it out. Tony still may want to give Sheets/Burger playing time as well, which is better than having them sit most games and stunt development. A lot to juggle this season. Tony trusts veterans like Hamilton (or Lamb) to be able hit with only 1-2 games a week playing time, and to have Hamilton available for PR/Defense off the bench, which is what his role normally would be with a healthy team. With Lucas and Rodon back to back, will be interesting how Collins is handled vs. the first half where there was a gap between starts. Will probably see Collins off tomorrow, wonder if the rotation will reset after skipping Lynn vs. Houston (plus the ASB consideration).

Jack Parkman Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Was just looking at the schedule, and the stretch from August 12-26 should tell us a lot about the Sox in October. Yankees 3, Oakland 4, 3 @ Tampa and 4 @ Toronto. There's a strong possibility Robert is back around then.

We have that 8 game lead because when we lose Cleveland also has lost. That won't happen tonight. Point is let's get a W and not rely on Cleveland sucking.

Jack Parkman Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) I'm not too thrilled about the Astros ABs against Giolito in the 1st. He's not fooling anyone. They better adjust their gameplan. Edited July 17, 2021 by Jack Parkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
