Ducksnort Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Hopefully this ship can be righted at home, but these Nats are 34-23 in first place. Going to be a tough homestand with KC coming this weekend, then Detroit again right after that. Pitching Matchup: Ross (5-4, 2.37) vs Latos (6-1, 4.02) Lets start this homestand off on a high note with a win tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Hopefully we see a better Latos tonight. With Gonzalez waiting in the wings, Mat has to be sharp if we wants to hold onto that rotation spot. I don't envision the coaching staff giving him a very long leash.

flavum Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 7, 2016 -> 07:38 AM) Are Melky & Jackson back yet? Sounded like Melky was coming back today. Jackson may be heading to the DL today if he isn't ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettie4sox Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 They'll show up for the Nats and then lay an egg against Detroit and KC. Their division record is completely destroying the Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Eh, it doesn't look good based on 3-12 vs the other three, but there's one way to remedy that over the next couple weeks. Do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need more proof this team is mentally weak? I was at the game in Detroit on Sunday, and paid close attention to players reactions and what not when things didn't go their way. Trust me, they care. Judging from a lot of the players reactions, its not that they have given up, but they are frustrated. Once things start bouncing their way, they will get back on track. This division is very fragile, season isn't over by a long shot. Yes, they do need to be playing better baseball. With the track record from a lot of these players, I think it will come, only a matter of time, and time is something they have right now.

Hopefully Shields walking into the clubhouse today and being home will give them the shot in the arm they need. They care. And if you look at the injuries going on in the division, the Sox should be able to get right back in there. The team I'm most worried about going on a run now is the Tigers. That lineup can be potent and Michael Fulmer is showing why he's a good pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
