RH Javier Assad will take the mound this evening to face the White Sox. He is a converted reliever and was stretched out to 7 innings in a win at Toronto on the 11th. 

He faced the Sox once in a relief appearance last series, retiring all five batters he faced. Hopefully the Sox learned something from that appearance and film from his recent starts.

The most important game left on the schedule.  The only important game left on the schedule.  Will the Sox show up and win?  They should be motivated like it's the seventh game of the World Series because this group will never get close.

How would they know what the motivation for the seventh game is the World Series is like if they’ve never been close?  It’s a conundrum.

Eloy off with a sore groin, sad since he typically plays well against the Cubs.

 

 

 

Sore groin, huh? Is that why he lollygagged down to 1st base last night?
