maxjusttyped Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I've been supportive of the Sox frequently resting players this season, etc. But that was a moment where Eloy should have been pinch hitting. I'm not saying he should have started the game or even play tomorrow, but if they aren't putting him on the IL then he should be batting for Mendick in that situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moncada, Leury who has been one of our hottest hitters, Sheets who can hit the long ball, and Eloy if he can physically go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 It's insane to be managing these games like there isn't a difference to the White Sox world series odds whether they're the 2 or 3 seed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I said I'd be shocked if 6-9 got more than 1 hit today. They're proving me right so far as they only have 1 and there's a chance they don't come up to the plate again this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLR never pinch hits with his star players when they are “resting” on the bench. TLR does not generally go all out using all his weapons to win a game. It’s frustrating.

I'm not a doctor, but are you really going to aggravate or make a bone bruise worse by taking one ab? That may have been the Sox only shot to get back in the game and Tony decided to punt. again.

Who's favored in a 2/3 series between the Sox and Astros will likely just come down to whichever team has home field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
