vilehoopster Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I'm not very optimistic, not with our starting pitching the mess it is right now. The road trip is seven games, right? So I expect the White Sox to go 2 wins and 5 loses. I would okay with that. Not happy, but not totally pissed off. I'd be very happy with going 3 and 4.

Dick Allen Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 3-4 would be nice. They could get some confidence. Gio and Lopez are pitching pretty well. Nova usually alternates good and bad starts. Houston is great but banged up, and Minnesota isn't the house of horrors it used to be. I think they can do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBBrian13 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 We are going to see Covey vs. Verlander and Nova vs. Cole on Tuesday/Wednesday, so those are almost sure losses. Lopez vs. Berrios on Friday, I would say that doesn't look promising. Our best chance might be tonight against Peacock, not sure how good of a pitcher TBA is, but hopefully he'll keep us in the game. I agree, if we can go 2-5, I would actually be willing to call it a good road-trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisox378 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 We took 2 of 3 in NY, maybe we can rise to the occasion on this road trip in win both series!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Hoping for 3. Just really don't want to be swept by Minny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 3-4 would be a fine week. Obviously would love to get 4 wins, but unlikely. Starting with a split in Houston would be ideal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Houston to score 8-12 runs each of the next 3 evenings. If Giolito goes 5 innings with 3 ER that is a good start for him Thursday. I don't trust them to score enough to win a game this week.

BackDoorBreach Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Don't really care as long as Gio, ReyLo, Anderson, Yoan, and Eloy play well. But since that wasn't the question I'll say 4 wins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vilehoopster Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Negativity or reality? I'm a big fan and try to be optimistic; I would say I'm often too optimistic with the White Sox most of the time. But come on. I think it is much more realistic that the Sox only win one game on this trip than win four. For starters, we're missing a starter!! And that unknown TBD pitcher is pitching twice on this road trip, AT Houston and at Minnesota. That sounds like 0 and 2 on the road trip right there.

flavum Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I said 2-5, but could see a split with Houston. They’ve been hot and are at the beginning of 10-game homestand- Red Sox and Cubs after the Sox. Might catch them in a lull tonight, then Giolito could get a win Thursday. Then a win in Minnesota hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mqr Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 My expectations are set at 2-3 wins. Anything more and I'd be pumped. Less would be a major disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While possible, its more likely the Sox win 4 games than 0-1 games this week. I thought 1 myself and it's not being negative. On the road against 2 good teams . Having a bullpen game and Covey will surely tax the bullpen for the rest of the games. Verlander , Cole , you see a win there ? Peacock tonight and he's been really good his last 2 starts. Maybe a win today but i wouldn't bet on the Sox in Houston with the bullpen starting. Berrios makes Sox hitters look drunk. If we don't get Perez and Ordorizzi might have a chance for another win. I'll go with 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play competitive, competent ball with no demoralizing loses. It would be nice if they weren't swept in either series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
