iWiN4PreP Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Lots of negativity here is warranted, but let's remember it's only 5 games into the season. A win here could turn things around quickly. Let's get a strong win and go on a winning streak. All the sudden we will be back into the thick of things! It's a new day. On the other hand, a loss here would be pretty damaging. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, a loss here would be pretty damaging. I agree, but I think it's the underlying issues that are worrisome, more so than the results. It's expanding the strikezone, not taking walks, not making routine plays in the field, overthrowing cut-off men. These have been issues for years, and through 5 games, they haven't been fixed. Those are going to lead to losses, regardless of how talented your players are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have some excellent bullpen options that would rock as openers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runtheballdown Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 No starter is going 8. If these early game results continue I’d be all for an opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Giolito will pitch into the 7th, get moved up to Monday to be on pace for the Iowa game, and the Sox will have a bullpen game versus the Brewers after Gonzalez makes one start on Saturday.

EloyJenkins Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Best lineup they can put out currently imo. Still think Robert needs to move up more, but for now this works. Stay healthy and let's get Mazara and Madrigal in for Friday and this starts to click. Edited July 29, 2020 by EloyJenkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but those conversions don’t mean much because we could easily win three games in a row that would get us those “8 games” back. It’s all relative. I’m not a big fan of the whole “every game actually counts for 2.7 games” thought process. Edited July 29, 2020 by SoxBlanco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
