Archer @ Gonzalez

 

Living in Tampa area for the winter, I get to see a lot of the Rays. They get good starting pitching and Archer is good but they are an awful team. Remind me of some of the past expansion teams. A few good young players and veterans and the rest look like AAA material. More amazing, they are going w a 3 man rotation. They went into the year wanting a 4 man and one got hurt so they changed to a 3 man and use days off and bullpen day to get through. This franchise needs an implosion.

 

the Sox should sweep as long as they get by Archer.

Do you mean Archer? Cobb isn’t on the team anymore and was never as good as Chris.

Wouldn't mind if this game is just called and we get to the point where the weather is warming up tomorrow. Had enough of watching baseball in Bears weather.

 

 

Welp, snowing early here... damn you Chicago.

If they couldn't hit Cy Fiers yesterday, I have a hard time being optimistic they'll hit Archer much. This is as a close to a guaranteed "L" we've seen so far this year, especially with MiGo going.

I'm actually thinking they moved this game up to cancel it sooner. There is no reason to play the Tampa Bay Rays today. Play 2 on Wednesday when it might actually be 50.

From 1-3, my phone says rain/snow and 38 degrees. At 7, it's clear and 35 degrees. Why the f*** did they reschedule this from night to day again? For 3 degrees?

Might as well PPD it now and play 2 on Wednesday.

If they do play I can't imagine more than like 4k are there.

I'd take the under. The Cubs home opener at the same time, I have no idea who would actually look forward to attending the Sox game today. I love going. I have zero interest. If they play 2 on Wednesday, I will go for sure.

My friend had an extra ticket to the Cubs Brewers game on Saturday so I decided to go with him know there wouldn't be a delay, postponement, or watching in 20 degree weather. F***ing awesome watching a game comfortably when its like 20 degrees out. The final result sucked, however.

The actual weather, and the anticipated weather really costs the White Sox big at the gate. Unless you are on a plan, who is going to pick April games to attend? If there was a roof, Family Sunday would have drawn pretty big numbers yesterday. 11k announced, probably less than 10 actually there.

Been to Miller Park a handful of times. What a great place to watch a game.

 

Retractable roof is the way too go in this climate. IMO

 

I'm a purist in football. I think battling the elements is apart of the nature of that sport. Baseball? Snow, freezing rain, cold... etc... It has no place.

Yes. I will correct post

Cubs pushed their game back an hour.

 

 

Sanchez batting 5th.

 

Engel, Davidson, Castillo on bench

 

Kiermaier out for TB

Saladino as DH

The snow might have finally stopped in Bridgeport...

Sox twitter has a video of the grounds crew removing snow lol

Now that it looks like Bruce Rondon is up for the foreseeable future, I'm now waiting for the Rondon/Rodon confusion to occur. It's going to be so annoying.

Rays only -140 favorites in this game... Hard for me to envision a win.

Moncada

Garcia

Abreu

Delmonico

Sanchez

Anderson

L. Garcia

Saladino

Narvaez

That line up is so sad they will probably win.

This may compete with Sox/Baltimore from 2 years ago.
