Jose Abreu Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Sep 8, 2017 -> 01:52 PM) I think tonight's game is the Sox best chance for a win and I'm not all that confident in this offense against Moore. Despite shark bait pitching Saturday, he's still opposed by James f***ing Shields, ugh. Sunday is Bumgarner, LMAO. Definitely potential or a sweep if the Sox don't put up some offense this weekend. Shields vs. Samardzija? They're practically the same pitcher*... give me a 7-6 SF win *before someone brings in stats, I just mean they're inning eating RHPs who get lit up Edited September 9, 2017 by Jose Abreu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Sep 8, 2017 -> 10:45 AM) We are 1.5 GB of the Phillies. Phillies own the tiebreaker with us, so we have to be WORSE than them to have a better draft pick. Opposite situation with the Giants. Giants win, Sox and Phillies lose. 0.5 games AHEAD of the Giants for the 2nd pick 2.5 GB of the Phillies for the 1st pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, though I don't think there's any chance Fulmer is a starter at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're practically the same pitcher*... give me a 7-6 SF win *before someone brings in stats, I just mean they're inning eating RHPs who get lit up True but it's about more than the pitchers. Shields pitching against that Giant lineup has disaster written all over it. Especially if the fielding miscues continue. Not trying to be doom and gloom, just realistic.

soxforlife05 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Leave it to the Chicago teams to let the other teams out tank them. Obvious tankage by SF today. Lame as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Ultimately, the Sox having a 4-23 stretch got them a top-3 pick, and after that it's all gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 The Tigers and Reds would have to be five games worse than the Sox the rest of the way to have a better pick. The Sox and Tigers play four starting Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillies-- 54-89 3 vs Mia 3 vs Oak 4 vs LA 3 at Atl 3 vs Was 3 vs NYM Good for the Sox, but seriously, no team should finish a season with 5 out of 6 series at home or on the road.
