I'm waiting for two runners at second base in the 11th inning.

I'm imagining an NHL model ?

makes no fucking sense to have lamb at 2

but we are the #1 team in MLB, best run differential, numerous power rankings have us #1 or at least in the top 3, so fuck it, management/TLR can do w.e. they want because results are showing for a team that has had 2 critical injuries.

just enjoying the ride

im sure in 1 or 1.5 months from now when things start to hit the shitter, i'll be at their throats

At least we can complain about Lamb though 

If they stick to the script...Lamb will have a big night.

On the flip side it will be real interesting if the Sox are coasting along 30 games over .500 and Leury and Hamilton each have 300+ plate appearances when Eloy and Luis come knocking...

You never stop being at their throats so it will be just another day

Well then, they choose violence. So be it. 

Yep and it's probable Pineda becomes the 2nd pitcher in the game after Ober plunks TA or whoever. Benches likely emptying tonight.

Alternating RH and LH hitters in the line-up can aggravated some pitchers.

No matter what Tony does, he will never be given credit.

However, once the team goes into an inevitable slump/ losing streak it will all be blamed on him. I have felt like that at times...no credit for anything but oh boy, should I make a mistake..

Bailey Ober Lance Lynns needs to throw the ball at Yermin the Sox dugout to send a message

To paraphrase Brad Pitt in Moneyball, if they want to walk hit you, just say thank you and take your base.  I hope the benches do not clear over this nonsense.

Nick rips the ball yesterday and gets moved out of the 2 hole....

Not a fan, but lets get after it!!!

Mainly because he hits LHP way better than RHP. Mendick hits RHP better than Madrigal.

Wasn't that the quote about a team bunting against them?....

Too true

So, everyone agree the twins scratched Pineda to have a rookie throw at Sox hitters?

It wouldn't be the first time this has happened.

Probably, I was only half way watching to be honest after that bullshit scene where Chad Bradford thanks him because no one ever gave him a shot before.  Listen jerk, I have been to 3 playoff games in my White Sox fandom career and in one of them, I had to watch your sorry ass pitch.  Sorry for the rant...my wife said I should let that go and I should take her advice.

So have him throw at a guy or two, get ejected, and then eat away at an overused, shitty bullpen? Nah.

No, from reading the whole thread I'd say some don't expect it at all. The Twins could be actually testing out a rookie to see what he's got. I think we see someone on the Sox HBP today and maybe early in the game. However, if they do that their BP sucks and is overworked so maybe it doesn't happen at all or happens late from one of the BP arms.

What I thought was ridiculous is how they took the team almost not winning 20 games in a row and made it into some sort of Greek Tragedy,
