White Sox only have to go 38-70 the rest of the season to beat @JeffPassan preseason prediction. It'll be tough but I predict they'll do it

 

36-72 for SI's prediction. I still can't believe people had them winning under 70 games. I didn't expect 90+ wins, but this was easily around a .500 team, not a 90+ loss team.

Just bought my dad tickets to the Fathers day game (behind home plate). Dodgers vs. White Sox, a true treat, since the old man is a diehard Dodger fan.

Awesome! I wish I could make it to one or two of these games, but have no one to watch the dogs for the weekend...have a great time with your Pop!

Stat of the Day:

 

Through 1/3 of the season, the Sox score .5 runs per game more than the Tigers.

 

They also give up .5 runs less per game than the Tigers.

 

Sox RS 260 - RA 220

 

Det RS 233 - RA 247

 

I have seen a few people make the 2011 Sox=2012 Tigers comparison. I'm not ready to go there yet, but it was interesting.

I thought they would be about 78-84 wins and if things broke right it could be interesting.

Since 1995, the White Sox have been in first place 4 times (now 5) and won the division three times.

 

70% playoff predictability rate for those teams leading at that milepost.

 

 

 

2000 Up 1.5 games

2004 Up 1.5 games

2005 Up 4.0 games

2008 Up 0.5 game

2012 Up 2.5 games

 

1984 down 5 games

2006 down 1 1/2 games

And that 04 team lost both Frank and Maggs.

I assume you mean in first place on June 5?

It was actually June 1st in those years.

 

 

I forgot to correct for 2012, we weren't 2 1/2 games up on that day, but we were in first.

 

Three of the four times from 1995-2011 (2000/2005/2008) that we were leading on June 1st, we went on to win the division. 2004 was the exception.

 

70% successful rate in predicting eventual playoff participation during that timeframe, for all MLB teams in first place as the calendar turns to June.

Is there any way the Sox keep Peavy for one more year on his huge option salary?

 

They could rationalize to themselves $22M for Peavy and Quintana instead of $10M for Floyd and Quintana(plus in the mind of Jerry, you avoid the large Peavy buyout). And (hopefully) assume you keep getting this great value from young guys up and down the roster

In reality you have to think of it as an $18M option when you factor in the $4M sunk-cost buyout. But the answer is still almost certainly no. Just food for thought.

I wonder if the "insurance" on him would cover that year if it was picked up. There has to be a substantial cost to that part too if it's there.

The Score said that Fukudome is almost guaranteed to be placed on the DL in the next 24 hours. It's a rib issue. Dan Johnson should get the call up so we don't have to start Lillibridge/Flowers at 1b against a RHP.

How long is Konerko out for? I'd much rather see Danks up.
