Bieber vs Keuchel

I want to keep making game threads so don't stop now boys!

We need to show we can win the big ones. Giving Beiber an L would be huge. If we are to be a real contender, you can't just consistently beat the bad teams and matchups, you gotta win at least some of the big ones.

Revenge game

We better have a better plan than last time we faced him.. because didn't have a clue.

Expecting a loss and readying myself to be fine with it.

Yup

How come we gotta face Bieber every time we play Cleveland? Why can't we face Logan Allen for once?

I know managers manage to try to win every game, but I'd be OK with putting the "Sunday lineup" out there tonight, let Foster and Ruiz carry the bullpen load, and go full out for the weekend games.

This is a shitty attitude I swear Sox fans are the worse. What other fan base does that

Maybe worry about yourself

Grow up.  First, I'm not playing the game, my "attitude" doesn't matter, and neither does yours.  Second, it's a 162-game season.  We'll lose dozens of games even under the best of circumstances.  I hope we win, but this is a bad pitching matchup and one of those games where a loss would not be a huge deal -- which is certainly a healthier and more realistic "attitude" than whining and crying after every loss like most in the game threads.  Third, it's "worst."

all others... through out history and forever.

 

its actually being mature and trying to accept reality.

Please put together a big boy lineup to face him. Fully expecting Leury and Lamb to somehow be in there though.

What....?

We're the better team here.  Keuchel is coming off a good outing.  What the hell is this pessimism, what team forfeits a home game against a lesser team?

No, the Sox need to put their best lineup out there tonight against one of the best pitchers in the league. Can’t just concede games, especially against a divisional opponent.

Please let Vaughn face Bieber.

Yep, I was there!  Every once in awhile Bieber poops himself---let's hope it's tonight.

This team just had 2 days off this week, didn't use the bullpen much yesterday, and has 2 off days next week. I know what you're getting at, but there's no reason to rest anyone against the best pitcher in the AL given the schedule.

Yeah despite my general pessimism for the outcome I don't think that's a good look against a division opponent.  It's also not like we're Western Illinois facing Ohio State, we could very well win. I think we load up the lineup and take our best shot.

Oh I think crying that goes on during and after every game is awful. Bunch of babies on here. But expecting a loss hoping for a win isn’t great either. I’d rather be glass half full the. Half empty

OK, fine:  mini-Sox 150, Indians 0.  Everybody hits 1.000 for the rest of the season (anything less is conceding defeat in some of our at-bats before the even happen:  loser mentality.)  Now let my attitude be the shining beacon that leads the team to the promised land!

Tony choose to forfeit with his previous lineup against Bieber a few weeks ago.

Thankfully, the Sox have the talent to overcome their manager including Game 1 yesterday, so anything is possible. Typically when the fans are most pessimistic, the team surprises (and frustratingly, vice versa like the Tuesday game).

For the record I predicted the Tuesday loss in the game thread ?
