I'll be surprised if we see him today, but I fully expect him back for the cubs series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I anticipate the following Wednesday Night (Vs. LH Starter): SS Anderson 2B Hernandez # 1B Abreu LF Jimenez 3B Moncada # CF Robert DH Vaughn RF Garcia# C Collins Bench: Goodwin; Lamb; Mendick; Zavala. Thursday Afternoon (Vs. LH Starter): (WTF Lineup Day, Rodon is a strikeout guy or "Deal with it Dallas" Keuchel lineup, Rest trumps platoons) CF Goodwin ^ 2B Hernandez # 1B Abreu DH Jimenez LF Vaughn 3B Garcia # C Zavala (only because there is a day game after a night game, otherwise he remains in the doghouse for not reading Tony's mind on Tuesday) RF Lamb ^ SS Mendick Bench: Anderson; Collins; Moncada; Robert. (And they will not go in unless someone's arm and/or leg are literally laying on the ground). Expecting a lot of Thursday rest for the day after night, plus astro turf, plus customs and airplane flight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Really need Moncada or Robert at 2 spot until Hernandez can get on a roll. i think Moncada HAS to be #2 come playoffs and have Robert after Grandal at 6 spot to get the most of each skillset.

I was originally thinking Moncada 2nd and Robert 5th, but maybe now I'm leaning more toward Robert 2nd and Grandal or Vaughn 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While LR would be optimal 2nd vs. LHP, though I can't see Tony going with four straight RH hitters (TA, LR, JA, EJ). He'll likely want Grandal fifth as well not to bunch up three straight RH only hitters, whereas I rather see him bat sixth. My optimal lineup would be every game except C rest when needed and no platoon beyond flipping the 2nd and 5th spots: My preferred Playoff Lineup: SS Anderson 3B Moncada (R) or CF Robert (L) 1B Abreu DH Jimenez CF Robert (R) or 3B Moncada (L) C Grandal LF Vaughn 2B Hernandez RF Engel Tony's Likely Playoff Lineup SS Anderson 3B Moncada # 1B Abreu DH/LF Jimenez C/DH Grandal # (if DH & Eloy in LF, Vaughn sits) CF Robert LF Vaughn 2B Hernandez # or Garcia # RF Goodwin^ or Garcia # (R); Engle or Garcia # (L) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Vaughn has improved vs RH starters but there might be a better alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, he's started rage-posting about the "Chicago Hockey Team" (what he calls the Blackhawks) in another part of the board, so he has been diversifying his outrage lately from just the White Sox.

2Deep Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I thought Zack Collins did a really nice job behind the plate last night, especially with the balls in the dirt. I don't anticipate him starting v Ray but I wouldn't be opposed to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
