I don't mind Leury have the day off since we will need him to play the next seven days against Milwaukee and Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we, though? Mazara has to be back soon and Madrigal is up, it's not like we need Leury to play all 7 games next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KS000 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I just don't understand Ricky's lineup choices. Garcia and Engel should be in the lineup. I know it's a day game after a night game, but if a player is hot he's gotta be in the lineup! Not to mention Eloy should not be hitting in the 6th hole if you ask me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, if there was ever a season to ride some hot hands, it's this one. Engel isn't tired! Leury might be a bit but he's coming off a great performance and playing with confidence. Renteria just doesn't know how to fill out a lineup card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Surprised Grandal catching day game after night game. Dismayed Encarnacion is playing at all, let alone hitting ahead of Eloy. Shocked/not shocked about Delmonico. I for sure would have dh’d Collins. Otherwise, why is h Ed on the team? One start a week against a guy with Junis’ splits is not asking for much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather has been reasonable in KC. Not a bad choice. EE isn’t going to get better watching. Delmonico, again this pitcher has a difficult time with LH batters, now RR is getting ripped for using them and not a guy like Engel. Unfortunately, Nicky is what he has. It would have been a great time for Mazara, as he also kills righties. But he must not be ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing they just don’t see a point of flying him out to KC for a game before turning around and heading to Milwaukee. I think he’ll be joining the team tomorrow, but if not it should be Wednesday at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 White Sox enter today 5th in team WAR (2.4) and 3rd in batting WAR (2.1). If the SP could just be mediocre to bad and not horrible this team will make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
