The Kids Can Play Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I don't know what their record will be, but it better be well above .500. In fact, we will probably know in the next 14 games if the Sox are truly legitimate contenders. Next 14 games for Twins, Guardians and White Sox. For Twins W-L @ Milwaukee (2) 53-43 @ San Diego (3) 54-43 vs. Detroit (3) 38-58 vs. Toronto (4) 53-43 @. LA Dodgers (2) 64-30 262-217 .546 For Guardians: @ Boston (4) 48-48 @ Rays (3) 52-43 vs. Dbacks (3) 42-53 vs. Astros (4) 64-32 206-176 .539 For White Sox @ Colorado (2) 43-53 Oakland (3) 35-63 Kansas City (3) 38-57 @ Texas (4) 43-51 @ Kansas City (first 2 of 4) 38-57 197-281 .412 If they don't take advantage of this part of the schedule and make up those four games, then you can pretty much assume this team is not mentally and physically tough enough to win arguably the weakest division in baseball. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to make some serious ground here, thats a cakewalk of a schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I thought it was so crucial to keep the foot on the gas and go for the home field advantage last year instead of rest guys for October or whatever they were doing. Every year's team is different and you have to play to their strengths. One year later and they suck at home. Tony doesn't know where the gas pedal is located. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I'll say 11-8. They should do better than that, but TLR will give a few games away with ridiculous lineups and/or poor bullpen decisions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Sox Park Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 1 in CO . 2/3 Oak . 2/3 KC . 2 TX . 3/4 KC . 3/3 Det . so 13/6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 If they can get an everyday RF, possibly a 4/5 starter or 1 bullpen arm or 2, they would have the personnel to make a solid run (14 - 16 wins) over the next three weeks. Need to go 4-1 this week to ensure this could be a possibility depending on revenue projections. Would peg them at 11-8 without significant help, 14-5 with 2+ significant acquisitions.

BKHoo Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Definitely a big 19 games as their schedule is so much easier than Min and Cle. I will say 12-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Mite Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 5 hours ago, SoxBlanco said: The next 19 games will probably let us know if this team will make a playoff push. People kept calling the Baltimore series an easy series, but the next 19 are all against teams that are worse than Baltimore (Texas is the best team with a record of 43-51). So make a prediction on how the Sox fare over these 19 games. Feel free to add where you think that puts us in the division on August 15. For reference, this is who the Sox will play: @ Colorado (2) Oakland (3) Kansas City (3) @ Texas (4) @ Kansas City (4) Detroit (3) Unless we get hotter than hell, I'm going with 12-7.

We have not seen much of the Robert-Abreu-Jimenez middle of the order over the past two years. That middle produces, maybe we can make a run.

caulfield12 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) Colorado can be tough. An unnamed NL West team is 3~9 against them this year. Basically worse than the Sox/Guardians head to head, but this particular team is double digit victories over .500.
