September 10, 20178 yr The Giants have a brutal schedule to end the season. I have a hard time thinking the Sox are going to catch them. I'd almost call catching the Phillies a little more likely. In the end though, just hold on to the #3 pick at this point.

I'd almost call catching the Phillies a little more likely. In the end though, just hold on to the #3 pick at this point. True, but as of now, the Sox have 16 out of 20 games left with teams playing for something. Hopefully the Angels will still be in it, and the Indians are fighting for HFA.
September 11, 20178 yr Sox won, Giants and Phillies lost... 1.5 GB of Giants for the 2nd pick 3 GB of the Phillies for the 1st pick Edited September 11, 20178 yr by ChiliIrishHammock24
September 11, 20178 yr QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Sep 10, 2017 -> 11:28 PM) What is the tie-breaker for draft position? Previous year record. Better record last year gets the less favorable upcoming pick. Examples: Sox tie with Giants... Sox would get the better pick since the Giants where better last year. Sox tie with Phillies... Phillies would get better pick since we where better last year.
September 12, 20178 yr QUOTE (reiks12 @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 10:14 PM) yaay lets win more meaningless games.. But Lopez pitched well. These games are like double edged swords if you're rooting for losses. Yes, the offense kicked ass today. Even a bad Lopez probably would have resulted in a Sox win. So the Sox won. But it is not meaningless... we really need Lopez to be an awesome pitcher for our future Sox team and outings like this are only good in that respect. If the Sox win, I hope it's only because players projected to be on the next competitive Sox team did well. That's all I can ask for. The Sox have solidified a top pick in the draft. They won't get #1 anyway because Philly just plain blows and it seems like they have no future at all. I'll gladly take the worst record in the AL, although it does seem like the Tigers are pulling off a nice tankjob to finish their season...
September 12, 20178 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 07:36 PM) Will the Tigers be four games worse than the Sox the last 19 games? It's looking more and more possible but I believe Captin Covey and his trusty sidekick James will save the day for us.
September 12, 20178 yr I am fine with wins like this. Lopez pitched fine for where he is in his career and Moncada had a great game with the bat along with some other of our possible bats that may be around for the next few years. This win is okay.

September 12, 20178 yr It's crazy how much the sox bullpen has stabilized. When they are bad it seemsl ike they are all bad together. BUt otherwise they are decent.

September 12, 20178 yr QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Sep 12, 2017 -> 09:28 AM) Infante has actually been really good the last two months. And him and Minaya have been used a lot.
September 12, 20178 yr I think the White Sox finish 7-12 over their last 19 games. That puts them at 64-98. That should lock up the 3rd pick in the draft.
September 13, 20178 yr Phillies down 7-6 bottom 9. Inning starts with HBP, single. 1st and 3rd, no out. Familiar?

September 13, 20178 yr QUOTE (Knuckles @ Sep 12, 2017 -> 09:24 PM) Tied it up. Yeah, and they had the winning run taken away by replay. Marlins scored in the 10th. Oh well, 2nd is probably the best to hope for anyway.
September 13, 20178 yr Sox lose, Giants lose, Phillies win. 1.5 GB of Giants for 2nd pick 2.5 GB of Phillies for 1st pick
