September 27, 20205 yr I like it. Obviously the sox could easily lose that series especially if they keep hitting like the last 7 games but still oakland at least has 2 left handed starters and an OK but not super great offense. The sox need to score early though because he As have a lights out pen, so they sox need to score multiple runs the first 5 innings The As are not an easy opponent but definitely prefer them over the Yankees or Indians.

Oakland's bullpen is lights out, so it will be important for us to get early leads. I would start DK game one. I would also play Garcia in LF if healthy, Engel in CF, and Robert in RF while Eloy DH's. Robert is not playing RF

September 28, 20205 yr 10 minutes ago, SoxAce said: I think Grandal will be at DH. McCann is catching Giolito game 1 for sure. Yep. No chance Ricky leaves the biggest fish we signed this offseason on the bench in round 1 of the playoffs
September 28, 20205 yr Another thing to mention: on Tuesday it'll be cool in Chicago. It'll be 86 in NoCal. Maybe that helps Abreu, Moncada and Robert?

September 28, 20205 yr In a big park like this I expect Madrigal to have a huge 2-3 games. Can’t afford to play shallow in this park and he get one over their heads in my opinion, so he’s gonna get a chance for some bloopers
September 28, 20205 yr This game is going to start at like 10:00 eastern with Oakland being the home team, isn't it?
September 28, 20205 yr 21 minutes ago, BigHurt3515 said: Robert is not playing RF If Eloy DHs and they want to play Leury he should play RF. Engel may not be as fast but i trust him more as the roamer in Oakland. I also trust him more in shadows and making plays at the wall.

September 28, 20205 yr For TV, games will either be 2 / 3 or 9 CDT. With eight games on Wed and Thur, I’m expecting a day game after a night game if it goes 3. TB Toronto will be the first game each day. Edited September 28, 20205 yr by South Side Hit Men
September 28, 20205 yr Author https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAL2503 No waiting around. Good luck, boys.
September 28, 20205 yr No Matt Chapman, a declining offense (to be fair, ours has been too), and lefty starting pitchers that are objectively worse than Giolito/Keuchel. Wish we were at home, but couldn't have gotten a better matchup
September 28, 20205 yr It's obvious at this point that Cishek is a reader of this board and doesn't have any real sources. He just reads what people are speculating about on here and pretends he has sources.

Wish we were at home, but couldn't have gotten a better matchup Yep this is as good as you could hope for. Some signs of life from Robert was great this weekend, and the main bullpen pieces look dynamic.
September 28, 20205 yr Anderson Grandal (DH) Abreu McCann Moncada Robert Leury Engel Madrigal LETS GO
