  • Most encouraging things... 1.) We haven't lost to LHP all year 2.) Robert is waking up 3.) YoYo is waking up 4.) We won't be in no starter mode for the first two games of a three g

  • We cant realistically expect to win a game where we are running a pitcher out there who has World Series experience and a 1.99 ERA this season because we are facing Chris Bassit?

  • Giolito struck out 13 A's last year

It sucks cause I thought he turned a corner after his starts against Cleveland and Minnesota. But after he gave up the Bote homer today, he went back to his usual shit.

Stupid that Ricky said it, or stupid that I repeated it for your edification?

The logic behind it; Ricky's thinking

vs LHP's I'd have McCann play C, especially with Giolito pitching. Grandal can sit his ass on the bench.

Eloy at DH, McCann at C. Make it happen

I'm not sure I see the logic of not playing Grandal against LHP. He's got a .269/.400/.500, 145 wRC+ line this year against LHP. Granted it's only 35 PAs.  

 

This would be my lineup Vs. LHP if Eloy is capable of playing LF, 

 

1. TA SS .458/.509/1.021, 1.530OPS, 307 wRC+, 53 PA

2. Grandal DH .269/.400/.500, .900 OPS, 145wRC+, 35 PA

3. Abreu 1B .255/.309/.569, .878 OPS, 135wRC+, 55 PA

4. Eloy LF .289/.304/.556, .860 OPS, 132 wRC+ , 46 PA

5. McCann C .429/.528/.714 1.242 OPS, 236wRC+ 36 PA

6. Moncada 3B .229/.364/.343, .706 OPS, 105wRC+, 44 PA

7. Robert CF .262/.347/.452, .799 OPS, 120 wRC+, 49 PA

8. Engel RF .313/.353/.438, .790 OPS, 121 wRC+, 34 PA

9.  Madrigal 2B .238/.238/.238, .476 OPS, 29 wRC+, 21 PA

 

Bench

Leury .500/.500/.875, 1.375 OPS, 281 wRC+, 8 PA

Encarnacion .125/.263/.438, .701 OPS, 90 wRC+, 39 PA

Mazara .286/.348/.333, .681 OPS, 95 wRC+, 23 PA

 

I know it's not going to happen, but Jace Fry should be left off the playoff roster simply for giving up a home run to friggin Billy Hamilton imho.

After basically every game going wrong today, I'm actually pleased with this matchup. I would've preferred Houston or Toronto/Buffalo but this is better than Cleveland, Minnesota, and New York.

Same sentiments here exactly

Sox vs. A’s, the not ready for prime time players. 

Who gets the first playoff game thread in 12 years??

@WHarris1 ???????

it really sucks that Ricky punted on the last week, more games at Guaranteed Rate would be much more aesthetically pleasing than Oakland's park

That's it, taking Tuesday off.  Bridgeport here I come.  Since my one-time Schallers playoff tradition will have to be broken I welcome recommendations for the best place to get serious (while observing all appropriate health protocols of course).

Effin A man...I live in the eastern time zone and I gotta wake up at 4:30 to go to work...this is gonna be the first playoff game in 12 years and it starts at my bedtime...wtf lol...couldn't have played someone not in the west huh

 

 

Go to bed as soon as you get home from work.  Record the game and wake up 2-3 hours early.  Fast forward through the commercials and other bs.

It's how I watched all the Hawks late night playoff games in Vancouver and LA. 

 

 

 

 

edit- disregard, just saw the schedule.

Sox land in SF in 4 hours. That's their punishment for finishing 2-8.

Well, lets at least win one of the first two games to assure that there will be a SOXTOBER this year on Thursday.
