NWINFan Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I am hoping that LaRussa isn't resting anyone today. No one should be resting at this moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day game after a night game, so we'll almost certainly see Collins at C today. Grandal might DH. Moncada and Robert have both been getting one game off in just about every series, so I expect one or both to be off today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Guys will get rested as we are in the midst of a long stretch with no off days. My guess is Robert and Moncada are both out and Billy and Goodwin get to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also frustrated when I don't get to watch our full team play. But the truth is this is exactly the moment you'd expect players to be resting.

But the truth is this is exactly the moment you'd expect players to be resting. I don't believe we've seen our full team play all season? Have we had a single game with this lineup (ignoring batting order): TA SS, Moncada 3B, Abreu 1B, Eloy DH, Grandal C, Robert CF, Vaughn LF, Engel RF, Hernandez/Garcia/whoever at this point 2B. I don't think we have, and I think we've only had a few not counting Engel too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Better lineup than expected, considering its getaway day + TLR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Days off for starters have pretty much always been days off. Can't remember a starter getting the day off being used as a pinch hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should not be at the point of exhaustion. There will be time after the regular season for rest. HFA is important. The White Sox should be playing for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand no Grandal. No Moncada. I hope fo r the first time in the season, we make Grandal and/ or Moncada available for pinch hitting as warranted.TLR has been too formulaic, not adjusting to circumstances.
