Chicago White Sox Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Alright boys, we’re coming off four straight losses and currently sit six games back of the Twins for the division lead. To say winning this game is important is the understatement of the century. Time to right the fucking ship and that all starts with a quality Cease start. I’m expecting seven innings of one run ball from Dylan today. That should hopefully give us a great chance of winning despite a shit offense and horrible manager. When it’s all said and done, I think the Sox win this one 3-1. Let’s fucking go! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 This team is quickly putting themselves in the position where they will have to do well against the Twins in their head to head matchups to make up ground. They have 16 games left against Minnesota so it's possible but they can't let them get too much more of a lead imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Every time I see Yaz’s slash line it defies belief. This is Konerko 03 first half territory. There are probably hundreds of baseball players that could have outperformed his hitting in the minors. Anyway I don’t think we end June with any illusions of coming back. The pitching is regressing and the hitting has not. This team has all the 2015 vibes and I have never experienced a Sox team take off in the second half like the 83 team. June is always the deciding month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Andrew McCutchen and Gordon Beckham made their debuts 13 years ago today. One is still playing, the other is styling Benetti’s hair on the pregame show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their run differential indicates that they're probably worse than their record. I get it, Moncada won't stay this bad, Abreu's starting to hit etc. But I have a hard time believing the light's suddenly gonna turn on and they start playing .600 ball. I think they're sellers at the deadline, and by July 4th, they need to start thinking about reshaping for 2023. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate you thinking I'm an optimist.....just hopeful I guess...but mostly becoming comfortably numb when it comes to this season's White Sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zisk Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 The only positive about last night was a rookie sucking it up and pitching well after a tough 1st inning. Lots of guys come apart after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxwin Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I keep hoping the White Sox turn things around but so far it ain't happening. There is still plenty of baseball to be played but it doesn't appear there is much light in the tunnel at the moment. With that said, a win today would certainly be a step in the right direction. This team could catch lightning in a bottle and take charge by playing solid and inspiring baseball these next few weeks so I'm not throwing in the towel just yet on this season.

flavum Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Andrew Vaughn’s 162nd game played. OPS+ is 100. Not bad considering he never played in AA or AAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralChamps21 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Grandal at DH. The default now is to shove every LH hitter into the lineup vs RHP, no matter how bad they are. Engel and Burger have hit RH far, far better than McGuire, Moncada and Grandal but not in lineup 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
