But we somehow have great batting average on ground balls. It's worked all year, even if it means hitting into a lot of double plays and not being able to drive guys in from third.

Maybe he'll get there, but expecting Eloy to be a great hitter does require some wish casting, at this point Yep he’s basically playing as badly as possible for someone with his ability.

southsider2k5 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 What about this game changes with HFA? Is Lynn throwing a shutout? Is McCullers hittable? Otherwise it literally doesn't matter here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Deep Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Lets get a few runs and get some momentum going into game 2. We will be fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Probably just let Reylo mop this up unless Sox score some runs. What a disappointment. Gotta get tomorrow. That’s the bottom line now. But let’s score some runs today first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked to find out what changes, personally, because we know both of these teams are much better at home than on the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Sox Park Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I bet that tomorrow is a whole different animal than today . Lynn just has a history with Houston, and it's all bad . our hope for a split is in Gio's hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth05 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 The thing about the offense is we always knew McCullers was gonna be good. These are the types of game you win 1-0/2-1. This needed to be a pitchers duel to have a chance. Would Gio have done that? I’d say his history against Houston leans to probably yes. Starting Lynn first was always suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
