Dam8610 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 So Quintana starts today against Cleveland and Danks starts tomorrow, then there's an off day before Detroit. That means for Game 1 in Detroit, the Sox could preserve their rotation order and go with Noesi, or they could opt for Samardzija on full rest. The upside of giving Noesi the nod is getting everyone an extra day of rest and going into the KC series with Samardzija-Sale-Quintana-Danks. The downside is Noesi starts the first game against Detroit. The upside of skipping Noesi is you get Samardzija-Sale-Quintana in Detroit. The potential downside is that would put both Danks and Noesi in line to start against KC, but that's where things could get interesting. If the White Sox wanted to get really bold and aggressive, they could throw out Shark in game 1 in Detroit, then instead of Noesi starting the fourth game against KC, they could call up Rodon and throw Sale-Quintana-Danks-Rodon at them. I know it's an unlikely scenario, but it would be a really interesting way to work the matchups against the two best opponents in the division and break Rodon into the majors early on if the FO feels he's ready. I think the White Sox will probably start Noesi in Detroit. What would you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/proba...ex.jsp?c_id=cws Noesi is starting tomorrow. I'd have Danks start on Friday afternoon, and start the regular rotation on Saturday. Sale, Samardzija, Quintana, Noesi, Danks It gives Sale an extra day and the rotation is in the order they wanted in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glangon Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I think you need to sit down and take a breath after that. Personally, I would work it to get the rotation back to the way that we want it. So I would go Q and Noesi as per the starters announced on the MLB website. I would then go Danks, Sale and Shark against Detroit, which would then have you running Q, Noesi and Danks against KC. Which is how you want to run the rotation. I would leave Rodon in AAA ready to come up if there is an injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense, and puts them in great position for the KC series, though it means Danks starting in Detroit. I'd like the best pitching possible going against Detroit and KC. I wish there was a way the Sox could throw their top 3 at both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Typically the Sox like to stay on their five man rotation and not skip guys. They seem to like giving guys like Sale the extra day of rest whenever they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's April. Neither is more important, just win baseball games. With the two wildcard format, you might still make the playoffs in 3rd place. Cleveland might be your most important competitor, too early to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 The way the schedule is layed out, they could easily have Sale and Samardzija face the Royals all five remaining series. And both at least 4 times against Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILMOU Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) It's Noesi to decide. Never gets old, or does it? Edited April 14, 2015 by Stan Bahnsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't skip anyone early in the season to make sure they can last and be more effective at the end of the season, especially if you think the Sox have a shot at the playoffs.

So it would appear starting Friday, it'll be: Samardzija, Sale, Noesi, Quintana, Danks Or possibly Quintana and Noesi switched. Would you rather have Quintana follow Sale, or Danks follow Quintana?

flavum Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Starting Friday, they play 17 straight days. If there's any thought of Rodon coming up, maybe next Wednesday afternoon vs Cleveland. That would be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
