hogan873 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 If the Sox keep losing, we're going to run out of folks to start game threads. The struggling White Sox are in New York again, facing off against the Mets. Mat Latos (6-1, 4.06) takes the mound for the Sox while Steven Matz (7-1, 2.36) goes for the Mets. Most of the Mets batters have seen Latos before, but only Frazier has ever faced Matz. First pitch is at 6:10 CDT. Go Sox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Something's gotta give. Matz has won his last 7 decisions (not sure if they're consecutive) and Latos has pitched poorly five times in a row (well, one time he "only" gave up three runs, the rest were 4 or more). Team was 3-2 in those 5, on the bright side. Edited May 31, 2016 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasttriptotulsa Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 QUOTE (soxfan49 @ May 31, 2016 -> 02:01 PM) You would rather see Rollins? Rollins has hit lefties to a 1.300 OPS clip this year. Obviously a small sample size but if there's a time you want him in the lineup it's against lefties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunt Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I will always cheer for the Sox, but this season has pretty much broken me as a fan. Hard to ever be optimistic about them again until they actually get to a postseason. They are terrible at assessing major league talent, the farm is weak and unable to develop offensive talent, management is cheap and always tries piecing teams together with band aids...will just be hard to get excited for anything again for awhile with this organization.

If Ventura insists on him being the starter, but chooses this as his day off, I riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but that is such a ludicrous viewpoint to have as a fan. It's one thing to be willing to lose late in the season so changes are made or a better draft pick is to be had but it is f***ing May 31 and they are just 2 games back despite losing 7 in a row. I swear some of you people like to see them fail just so you have something to whine about and it really makes it a chore to even visit this board at times.

It is all perspective. If they were sitting two games out on May 31 without the 23-10 start, and without the 4- whatever streak on the other end, most people would be thrilled. The falloff from one extreme to the other is what is killing people. As of today, we are on a pace for about 84 wins, which really is really close to about what most people thought they would do for the whole season. The mode prediction was 86-87 wins. A win today changes that projection back to 86 wins. The irony is if you had switched the cold streak and hot streaks around, this place would be going crazy with optimism right now. The reality that a team is never as good as its hot streaks, and never as bad as its cold streaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is without even the slightest bit of context, though. Fact of the matter is, this team has blown 5 games in the last 3 weeks that they should have won & have won 4 games in their last (20?). Obviously they aren't this bad but to operate under that mindset w/o any sort of context doesn't make much sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really getting fed up with the shark frenzy that goes on her after every play not made, every hit not made, every game lost. This team in slumping and they are more upset than we are I am betting. We will turn this around and it's only May 31st and we are two games out. We could be like the Twins for crying out loud.
