Buehrle>Wood Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 3 games under, 5 to play. Wednesday: Sale vs TBA?- Chalk this up as a win. Boston doesn't look like they are trying in the least bit. Thursday: Quintana vs Lester- Lester has been beastly this year but it's clear the offense behind him doesn't care again. Another W. Friday: Noesi vs Kluber?- probably lose this one. Saturday: Carroll vs Masterson?- Masterson has been nothing short of horrific this year. Carroll has been better but we'll call it a tossup. Sunday: Danks vs Bauer?- Bauer sucks. Danks has been better. Easy W. There you have it. The jinx of all jinx threads. 4-1 and back to .500. Then when we get back we get to sweep Houston at home 3 games. Then we are in the thick of it...As well as screwing ourselves over for the trade deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winninguglyin83 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Tribe put Masterson on DL today. Maybe Hawk's buddy, Sam McDowell, will start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 You mean the road to the 14th-18th draft pick in the 1st round....? I'd rather they were 10 games under .500, improved the team with the best trades for prospects at the deadline and all the key players for next season were completely healthy/successful in Abreu, Sale, Quintana, Eaton and Avisail.

While I was pretty much rooting for losses a week ago, 7.5 GB of Detroit is kind of enticing. I really have no idea what to root for at this point, I'm just enjoying individual player success and not really caring either way yet about the outcome.

chitownsportsfan Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 This is like a 75 to 82 win team. That's pretty damn good considering where they were last year. Hell, with a healthy Avi this might be an 86 win team. I think we should be giving the FO quite a bit of credit for turning this thing around. We have cleared out a s***-ton of dead wood and yea it's obviously not a great team, but it's a team that on a cost per WAR basis is probably twice as good as last year. It's harder of course to find marginal wins once you're already a decent club, but hey this is progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Sox are the ones with this philosophy, not me. If we had a closer and a catcher, we'd legitimately have a shot at the Wild Card, even without Avisail Garcia. Instead, we continue to trot out the worst position player in the MLB on an almost everyday basis with no back-up plan in sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 01:39 AM) Seattle's going to be a tough one to knock off No way, they are playing far above their heads. Now, you don't not get credit for games you've already one, but going forward they have the look more of a .500 team than a .550 team. The Sox aren't going to win the division without Noesi and Danks turning into Glavine and Maddox but I don't really think the Mariners are that much better than Chicago. The problem is that when you're 3 under .500 no matter how close to the top of the wild card you are, you're also that close to the bottom. There are a lot of teams "to catch" and other than winning like 45 of their next 71 (or better) the Sox aren't likely to win enough to make it. Historically, a couple teams or more almost always win 85 or more and don't make the traditional playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maurer for Viciedo would be such an amazing trade. Under Coop, Maurer could blossom into a solid 3rd starter, maybe even solid 2. His floor is middle reliever but whatever you trust in your staff.

Quin Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Yeah, we had Road to Rodon last year, so no tanking this year. They have to be like 10 games out by the end of August for me to entertain the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same failed argument from last season. TPSM = Carlos Rodon and many other nice picks I'd rather have TPSM v 2.0 than a .500 season.

GreatScott82 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Just sweep Boston and force Peavy out of there. Lol. Honestly, this might be the best 5 games consecutively I have seen the Sox play all season. Those two solid starts by Noesi and Carroll was a great surprise. Just keep winning.
