September 26, 20205 yr It’s never as bad as it seems during the bad times and never as good as it seems during the good times. This is still a good team, they’re just not great yet. Despite this recent bad stretch, there’s still a chance to make a deep playoff run.
September 26, 20205 yr We lost today 10 - 0... That mean we can treat the Sox like a football team now?

September 27, 20205 yr Author If Sox win today, they will have won 2 of their final 4 series - against winning teams. The world is on fire though!

As I said the other night after the 10-0 loss, this team is still capable of a deep playoff run. But I also sympathize with those that are concerned. Hahn has to improve in free agency moving forward. Signing Bauer would a great compliment to last winter’s Keuchel signing but please no more washed up DHs, RF or RP.

Pale Hoser's aren't the only ones expressing concerns. The players are. Commentators are. The best player in Sox history is. So us Sox talkers are out of line. You are right.

Every team loses games and has bad stretches. Frank Thomas had plenty of stretches far worse than the Sox just had on his teams in the past. They're on a 95-98 win pace right now. In Big Franks entire time with the Sox, they won more than 95 games once. They are leading the AL in run differential; a Frank Thomas led team did that once before.

I still think the management is a major weakness. The organization attitude towards management is a major weakness. This team over achieved in a 60 game season. I could see your point. I agree that there are only 2 legit starters, an untested rookie in Dunning, and then a metric fuckton of walks and HRs from Lopez/Cease. Over 162, this team, with this rotation, and THAT manager could be a one that starts off HOT, but then wilters as the BP gets ground down by overusage. Oh, and Lopez/Cease walking the yard every 5th day. And Rodon and Gonzalez doing their gascan bit as well.
September 27, 20205 yr We are 8 games under. 500 against teams not named Pirates, Tigers, and Royals. We are 12 and 20 against .500 teams or better.
September 27, 20205 yr Author White Sox secret geniuses; will face 2 lefty starters in the first round. Couldn't have picked their opponent better amongst the field of qualifers. Let's go!

So you're saying we have won 12 times against teams .500 or better? I'm going to ignore that other number you threw out there.

Matchups are important and I don't think we wanted the Yankees or Cleveland in a three game series with their top two starters.
