Honestly if they switch that up...and pitch him tomorrow, Sox are winning this series. Houston's starters outside of McCullers have been just as bad as ours this series. Honestly the offense has executed the game plan in games 2 and 3 against their starters. The plan was always to get their starters out early and get into their bullpen and we've done that in 2 out of the 3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically the difference between having McCullers only go once or twice in a series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be fine tomorrow. Kopech is the one who had an extended outing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He apparently left the team since he wasnt announced as part of the taxi squad last night. I don't see anyone commenting on that though. Guess it got lost in the shuffle. Wait, what? Who left the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tepera and Bummer went multiple innings, but neither had to throw more than 25 pitches. Kopech had to throw nearly 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda crazy that he wasn't even on the taxi squad. If he had any kind of pride he'd work his ass off this off-season to get back to where he was in 2020.

TheTruth05 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Maybe they were worried he'd get boo'd? Also they were going to boo the Astros for being cheaters all night so it'd be kinda funny to introduce Keuchel beforehand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Sox Park Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I think that if Dusty starts McCullers tomorrow, that would be a mistake on his part . if your Houston, you go for the win tomorrow with whomever, and if not, then you have McCullers well rested and in the band box that they play in . i think that if he does pitch tomorrow, it's a different story, and we get to him, and then it's all right there for the taking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Sox beat McCullers in 4, that really puts Houston in a really bad situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think Urquidy and Valdez are pretty close to each other in quality, pitch Urquidy tomorrow and save McCullers for a game 5. If you think Framber is significantly better, then you want McCullers and Valdez to each get starts on normal rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by saving McCullers for game 5, you give yourself a chance at the absolute best case scenario, which is winning game 4 without him and having him available to start game 1 of the ALCS. I would be saving McCullers for game 5 without a doubt if I were Dusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brijames1957 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Can't be afraid to face McCullers tomorrow. Your going to have to beat him to advance no matter what day he pitches. If I'm a Sox player I would really want another shot at him anyway. It's called being a competitor. The extra time off helps the Sox in that it makes both Bummer and Tepera available. You also have Lynn who could throw an inning or maybe two. Hopefully not too many fans are negatively affected by the cancellation and the place is still packed and loud tomorrow because that really gave the team a boost last night.

iWiN4PreP Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 If HOU throws McCullers game 4, that is a big mistake for them IMO. Lance McCullers game 5 well rested in HOU scares the shit out of me. Lance McCullers game 4 at CHI will be tough, but if we overcome that, we can win vs anyone else they have in game 5. Also, the fact Lance has once less day of rest pitching game 4 could be somewhat detrimental to him. I really hope they go through with it and pitch lance game 4.

You have to face McCullers one way or another. I'd rather face him in a madhouse instead of Minute Maid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
