ChiSox59 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Sox should probably try to win this series. Getting this one today is imperative as the pitching matchup is the only one clearly in our favor with Lynn and Gio coming off stinkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I would like to come home from work and be able to just sit back on the couch and watch the game. Instead I have to keep trying to sneak it in during work. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoesox Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 not worried about game 1, it's gm2 and 3 that looks bleak. will Lynn and Giolito figure out how to get lefties out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kids Can Play Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Let's go Cease, give us another stud like outing. Can the bats please wake up and get back to scoring a ton of runs. That shutout with the number of weak groundballs and lazy flyouts was embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twins don't really have many lefties with Kepler and Kiriloff on IL and Gallo also dinged up and not playing lately. Not that those are big names to begin with. Its basically Larnach and Nick Gordon and bunch of righties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 I think the plan was to play Andrus everyday to prove a point to the rest of the regulars, and it’s not working out they wanted it to. Hope he gets a couple knocks today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really questioning Grifol so far on his choice of players to start each game. I don't know how much longer before the Sox FO ends this Andrus experiment that has gone terribly wrong and DFA him.

It’s like this organization is allergic to abandoning the concept of “grinderball”. I’m going to tweet at all the beat writers every morning until he’s benched to ask when Everyday Elvis and his .379 OPS gets a day off while Moncada and Robert are babied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too early to go there. The A’s let him go because of his contract option. Yes, we can’t have him be another Harrison where he doesn’t show up until June. If he doesn’t look better today, I’d definitely give him a day or two off. We need Ws this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
