ChiSox59 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Let's rattle off some Ws boys. Don't think we'll catch Houston, but it would be fun to make it interesting, and at least play some encouraging ball the last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiddleCoastBias Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Think we'll see Abreu get a break after getting hit on the elbow, let any bruising or swelling settle down for a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or two. It wouldn't be a bad idea to get Vaughn, et. al. a game at first and it might be hard to keep Abreu off the field against the Tigers this weekend.

Man, Tampa sweeping Houston this week would be sweet. 2.5 back but need to finish ahead of them since they have were better head-to-head. Let's goooooo!!!

Both will be jockeying for rest/rotation alignment. if all things are equal in tanking...I think Tampa gets 2/3. If Sox sweep this short one with the Reds it gets very interesting.

The last two weeks of the season are essentially a long playoff with a lot of incredibly exciting games. Expansion never made sense - aside from the obvious reason of more dollars. I really hope they keep it the way it is, but I'm not hopeful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Do we really think further expansion is going to happen? That would be so awful. I hated the 2nd wild card, and have at least come around to that. But adding another 2 teams would be TURRRRRRIIBBBBLLLLLEEEEE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seems pretty much guaranteed Eloy is our LF in the playoffs. Which means Vaughn is going to be competing with Sheets for DH at bats, because I think Leury is going to be in RF assuming Engel isn't going to be healthy enough to play everyday (if at all). I think this is the best realistic lineup: TA SS, Robert CF, Abreu 1B, Grandal C, Eloy DH, Moncada 3B, Vaughn LF, Engel/Leury RF, Hernandez 2B If Engel were healthy, I'd put him in RF and Leury at 2B instead of Cesar who I hate. But chances are Engel isn't going to be healthy. Edited September 28, 2021 by ChiSox59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) It looks like Engel will be back in the lineup as early as tomorrow. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/white-soxs-adam-engel-takes-batting-practice/amp/ Edited September 28, 2021 by maloney.adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Unless Vaughn can turn it around in the last few games, I think you are right about platooning him at DH with Sheets. Not a bad plan. Vaughn or Sheets could make the difference in a play-off game with a key shot off a pitcher who thinks they just got through the heart of the order and can let up some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
