August 13, 20205 yr I don't know how you all feel but it might not be bad for us to have the games v cardinals canceled this weekend. It will give guys like Moncada to get healthy and for us to get maybe LOPEZ back without playing games, and maybe Madrigal gets closer to returning.
August 13, 20205 yr I'm with you. Sox could use a few days off. This might make up for some of the bad BABIP luck.

August 13, 20205 yr I get that argument, I also think our offense has just woken up again the past 2 days (thanks Dallas) plus the cards being super cold not playing for a while may be nice..
August 13, 20205 yr Want 2 games. 2 days off with Friday cancelled is perfect. Can't have double headers on a compressed schedule
August 13, 20205 yr Don't think St Louis is cancelling anymore games with the season carrying on, so I imagine the Sox luck out and get them first series back.
August 13, 20205 yr They can also arrange rotation, but limited pitch counts. Fri. Wainright Sat. Flaherty (uh oh) or Hudson Vs. Giolito Sun. Dakota Hudson, Flaherty or Ponce de Leon (no relation to explorer)
August 13, 20205 yr Cards hitters are going to be RUSTY. And their starters will be surely be on pitch counts. Gotta pounce on them. NO MERCY!

August 13, 20205 yr I think we definitely want to play tehse games. They have played in 2 weeks! I watched a couple of the Twins-Cards series before the CV tests, and the Cards looked really bad. I think its best of the Sox to play, sitting idle for 4.5 days midseason is a long time. Why are people saying they can't play Friday? Hasn't there only been 1 positive test in like the last 10 days?

We're either going to sweep them for this reason, or they're gonna be super motivated and sweep us. I don't see a very competitive series either way

I think so too. No reason to rush this if the Cardinals have another fuckup their season is done and as a MLB fan I don't want teams to be disqualified by Corona.

August 13, 20205 yr 2 minutes ago, YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! said: How does one extra day make that much of a difference in this situation? Not sure. I'd rather they just play Friday but at least they seem to be willing to get all 3 games in.
August 13, 20205 yr 5 minutes ago, YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! said: How does one extra day make that much of a difference in this situation? Cardinals players can't play double header. Advantage for us.
