clyons Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I'm poppin' my cherry on Gamethreads. Lefties are hitting .324 against Arrieta; let's lock and load up. GO YOU WHITE SOX! Go Cliff Lee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 A win here guarantees not only a winning series (first in a while), which is big, but also guarantees the Sox will have gained at least 1.5 games on first this series. And with MIN facing Cliff Lee, it could very well be 2.5 games. I'd call that a successful series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 This Oriole dude may have lefties hitting a ton against him and his ERA is approaching five, but the Sox have never faced him before and we always seem to make these guys look like CY Young. Let's start the chant now and get the karma flowing to the Sox hitters to clobber this Bird We didn't look good against the Matusz character who had an ERA of near six and we lost two games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to gain as much as possible while the Twins are struggling and we are playing bottom feeders. Our schedule gets a lot tougher and we are likely to lose ground later. As for Cliff, I have my doubts. I heard he is exhausted and asked out of the game a few starts ago in the 6th inning. Hopefully he can turn it around.

Something like 7 straight wins against them. This year is definitely not the same in this regard. And Matusz is developing, and had been doing very well lately. He's a talented pitcher.

Royals series was a disaster, but I wasn't talking about that. I tend to take things series by series. A win here makes it a success - 2 of 3 from a team that came in 13-9 since Showalter took over, and gain 1.5 or 2.5 on the lead. Nothing bad about that at all.

He is learning on the job, and he won't be anything like a 6 era pitcher. He is a great young arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not a bad idea, though I really do think he's just starting to come out of his slump. He doesn't have the power right now, but is AVG is up a bit.
