Well this game has taken a very negative turn. We aren't out of it by any means, but yikes the momentum has really shifted.

Feels like the zone shrunk during that half inning and now is right back to expanded again with the Sox at bat. Previously he had been calling a wide zone both ways, but tightening in that past half inning caused the damage.

Sheets!!!!!

Woohoo! Now let's build some momentum for the playoffs (while keeping our boys rested...a tough balance).

I'm in the championship in mine. I dropped Civale last week (during the previous round) after his bad outing and my opponent for the championship grabbed him. However, he kept him on the bench today (accidentally I'm quite sure as I don't think he recognized the early start).....man do I wish he was in his lineup!

Boom

No Garcia, that can't be accurate!

Can you imagine somebody telling you before the season that we would be rolling with this lineup in Game 86 against the Twins, but would be 6.5 games up in the division? I think most of us would have laughed in their face. This looks like a split squad spring training lineup at best, but yet... SS - Anderson 1b - Sheets DH - Abreu RF - Goodwin CF - Engel 2b - Garcia 3b - Burger LF - Hamilton C - Zavala

Nice AB from Collins there. Goes down 0-2 and patiently works a walk.

That's awesome. I've always heard great things about Dallas. My wife and I spent 7 years in Tulsa (where Dallas is from) and people there speak very highly of him. He should be a great teammate in the clubhouse.

Eloy doubles to deep right-center

Announcer - "Anderson putting on a clinic over at short" Keuchel definitely keeping him busy and he is looking sharp defensively.

4 to 1 after a 2-run shot for the M's

Just came across this and thought I'd share. This is based on projections from a panel of 6 'experts'. They have the Sox finishing 3rd in the Central and 11 games back of the Twins. Looks like we would miss the Wild Card by 9 games in this scenario. Thoughts?

Hey guys. New to the board. Hopefully I didn't miss this already being posted, but ESPN just released their lineup rankings going into 2020. The White Sox are ranked #13. Seems much lower than I would expect. There are also several that seem very over-ranked at the top. What are your thoughts? Link: Way Too Early 2020 MLB Starting LIneup Rankings - ESPN Comments about the White Sox: 13. Chicago White Sox (86.1) 1. Yoan Moncada (B) 2. Luis Robert (R) 3. Jose Abreu (R) 4. Edwin Encarnacion (R) 5. Eloy Jimenez (R) 6. Yasmani Grandal (B) 7. Nomar Mazara (L) 8. Tim Anderson (R) 9. Nick Madrigal (R) Contact: 16 | Patience: 26 | Power: 9 | Speed: 7 | Balance: 1 Core hitters: 3 | Lineup holes: 0 Last season, gaping lineup and roster holes wiped out any hopes Chicago had of rising to at least mediocrity. In terms of everyday players, those holes have been filled by the White Sox's frenzied offseason. This projection is exciting on the face of it -- a powerful, athletic group with the kind of balance that should allow Rick Renteria to run out the same group just about every day, with Mazara's weakness against lefties being the exception. Encarnacion's age is a concern. So is the number of free swingers. But Chicago also has the dynamic group of Robert, Moncada, Jimenez and Madrigal, all of whom have better days ahead and a hopefully steep growth curve.
