Then why haven’t they done it already when it was clear for weeks that they should have made an aggressive move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankchifan Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 This game turned on Goodwinnot making the play on Gordon’s triple and Moncada being thrown out at the plate with no outs. We have no margin of error with the team we are putting on the field now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was due to Goodwin hitting clean up first. Another TLR inexplicable decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel Hernandez Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 My level of concern is sort of high but I still believe we prbly win the AL Central. Who knows maybe we win big tomorrow. Its baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 We are finally seeing what happens when the pitching slumps. The pen has been shaky a lot this year, but the starters are coming back to earth now too. Going to really see what this team is made of in the second half.

White Sox +17 Indians +6 (34-28) Sunday, June 13 High point for CLE, 40-30/41-31 (2 games back) Indians have how lost 7 in a row and 9 of their last 10. White Sox went 6-7 after being 18 games over .500, but have now lost three in a row again. Tonight=White Sox +14, Indians +2. Essentially, we have gained 1/2 game in the standings despite a 6-10 mark during that time. Both Sox and Indians swept by the Astros in four game sets.

Our starters have been god awful the past 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eaton can play out there, the problem is that he will probably pull something playing CF. He can handle it out there, but he'll be hurt again in a week.

Teams go through stretches like this. It’s baseball. Like I said 10 days or so ago, this was the stretch that was going to beat the ever loving pulp out of Cleveland. The White Sox should be gaining every game they can right now, because Cleveland is facing Houston and Tampa. The White Sox get Houston and Milwaukee in a short burst after the AS, then a tough august while Cleveland has a weaker schedule against the AL central.

Right now, the Tigers are playing like the best team in the division. Hinch turned out to be a good choice for another rebuilding team with a boatload of young talent.
