August 4, 20205 yr What a crazy fun season....that is 2 times in a week that hustling to beat out a potential dp is absolutely huge in the win.

August 4, 20205 yr Just now, The Beast said: People that thought the sky was falling in the game thread can all eat crow! It's great that the White Sox won this game, but it doesn't change the fact that the starting rotation is now incredibly thin and we're only 10 games into the season.

I’m personally not optimistic given his track record and massive the velocity drop was, but at this point it’s all simply speculation.
August 4, 20205 yr Great win. Pretty sure Grandal had to deal with 5 strikes called outside of the zone tonight. Brutal. Pen is shaping up to be a real strength of this team.

August 4, 20205 yr This team is gonna be something fun to watch if we can get Timmy healthy and find someone to hold down the back end of the rotation....real dangerous come playoff time
August 4, 20205 yr the 4 and 5 spot is going to be rough going forward.. Cease needs to put his big boy pants on to help out this pen.
August 4, 20205 yr Foster, Detwiler, and Abreu deserve a lot of credit, but Robert getting a hit, taking 2 walks, and stealing 2 bases was huge
August 4, 20205 yr 32 minutes ago, Tony said: I think tonight was a little bit of turning point for me. They shouldn’t have won that game seeing as Rodon went 2 IP. They found a way. They had like 75 runners LOB but they still found a way to get the W. I guess my point is....I now feel like this team should win most nights...and it feels great. When is the inevitable WS matchup with the Padres? I Can't wait for the narrative about Tatis and Machado. Edited August 4, 20205 yr by Jack Parkman
August 4, 20205 yr I honestly think the LOB thing is a good thing. Ideally you want to hit a little better with RISP but that isn't really a sustainable skill (long term you expect to hit with RISP like without RISP even though in some years a team might hit .320 and in others 250 as a true talent. 280 team) but lots of LOB means you have a lot of baserunners to begin with.

I realize we will see some wear and tear with the struggles of the starting pitching but the front office has certainly assembled a quality group of relievers.
August 4, 20205 yr Foster looked really good last night. I was concerned when Rodon was done after 2, but the pen saved the day again. Jose continues to do Jose things - you know, drive in meaningless RBIs. Robert is just a damn good ball player. And as a side note, anyone who continues to b**** about the season being played should sign off SoxTalk until 2021.
