You are usually a little more patient. If the breaks go our way we can be in first place in a week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Eloy back, Burger will probably get even less ABs than he has since Moncada's been back and he's too valuable to have just sitting on the bench doing nothing. He needs to be playing every day to get his ABs and he can play 3B every day at Charlotte to improve his defense and be ready to come back up and contribute if Yoan gets injured again. Agreed. That's why Burger is the logical choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijames1957 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 This game tonight is a big one. It will really set the tone for the series which the Sox need to at least take 2 of 3. This next two weeks before the break is going to show if they are pretenders or contenders. At worst they can't be more than 4 or 5 games back heading in to the second half of the season. The schedule favors them in the second half but as we saw against the Orioles that doesn't mean much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O’s probably like the 4th or 5th best team left on the Sox schedule. It’s that weak. Around half of our remaining schedule is against the dregs of the MLB. But yeah…gotta make hay and Sox haven’t to this point against anyone but Det. Edited July 4, 2022 by ChiSox59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then last year I was shown just how horrible historically we actually are. After that it's just been down hill. Isn't it always the Twins to crush our season? Here's hoping for the best.

Unknown Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 They should consider canceling the game after that Highland Park shooting with suspect still at large. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Would the Cubs/Ricketts really cancel a July 4th home game if they weren’t in MIL? Or if wasn’t the 308th mass shooting of the year…well more than one per day on average in the US. Edited July 4, 2022 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re really good at finishing second or third before 2013-2019…but there was a point if you went 1993 or 2000 through 2005/06/08 where they were third in MLB winning percentage behind only the Yankees and Braves, maybe the Cardinals passed them for third at some point in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do, they are about 100 games over .500, their winning percentage is .503. After the GO GO years IIRC they were 250 games over .500. So since 1967 they have been 150 games under .500. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
