CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 The White Sox will be looking for their 5th win in a row after sweeping the "pests" from the Twin Cities. This is the opener of a 3 game Series with the Motown Maulers. The Sox will take their new found power strokes on the road along with Jake Burger who should make his major league debut some time in this series. Tonight we have RH Lance Lynn 7-3 2.06 ERA against Casey Mize 5-4 3.46 ERA. Mize features a very good slider and groundball rate and without the injured Yoan Moncada, Mize could be quite a challenge. The Tigers have put together back to back winning months and are 27-21 in their last 48 games. Lance Lynn should be equally challenging to the Tigers. On 6/3 in Chicago, Lynn pitched 6 innings and gave up just 1 run in a 4-1 Sox win. Mize started that game and Moncada, Grandal and Lamb all homered off him. The Sox have won 8 of 10 from the Tigers this year and the last 4 in a row against them. LET"S GO !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 We need Lance to look like he did against Seattle last week. Mize has been really stingy recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrankinSox Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 My guess at tonight's lineup: Anderson SS Goodwin CF Abreu 1B Grandal C Vaughn LF Sheets DH Burger 3B Garcia 2B Eaton RF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Leury needs more rest then Burger will start. But a Burger/Mize matchup , RH vs. RH, is a tough 1st assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially considering the fact he didn't even show up to the park yesterday. Not like he played a game and hopped on a red eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Other than seeing Goodwin at 5, I don't mind that lineup at all. Can't wait to see Burger play, and Sheets is fun to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTB Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I’m so excited to watch tonight. This is fun even with all the injuries (the injuries aren’t fun). I think I need a nap to prep for tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
