Giolito vs Hernandez

Lets win again.  Last night was fun!

Guess at lineup: Anderson SS, Hernandez 2B, Abreu 1B, Sheets DH, Moncada 3B, Vaughn LF, Goodwin RF, Leury CF, Collins C

Eloy gets the rest and is back in there tomorrow.  

Preemptively, I loudly declare:
Suck it Twins!!!!

 

 

Hopefully you've got your good stuff tonight Lucas. 20 Ks should suffice with that OF defense.

Is Engel still on the back to back game pre-caution?  Or is La Russa playing matchups?

 

Seen enough of the Alejandro De AzGoodwin in CF adventure.

Goodwin is awful everywhere in the OF, but purely from the eye test, I think he's a better CF than RF.  Of course, he's still an awful CF.  But looks more comfortable there.  

why the fuck is GOODWIN IN CF???????????????????

That is an atrocious OF.

DJ quick got a brand new bag.

 

 

What a great OF defense. Also Vaughn should not be batting 8th

Goodwin going to own his haters yet again tonight.

After a couple misplayed flyballs perhaps.

Because his idol is Ken Griffey Jr. and he said he feels he’s a center fielder after hitting a walk off home run.

Any self respecting Hall of Fame manager would obviously respect that, son.

I guess Giolito better strikeout everybody cause this OF defense is brutal.

I don't think anyone is hating on Goodwin when they say he's a poor defender.  That is just the facts. 

Nice to see Eloy back in the lineup.

In case anyone missed it

 

 

It must be said…

The White Sox are 38-18 (.679) at home this season, the best winning percentage in the American League and their best 56-game start since 2008 (also 38-18).

Didn’t think anyone had posted this. Happy to see I was of service.

I like Goodwin but I'm not sure we need to be trotting him out in CF, even against RHP.

Did anyone see this yet?

 

 

Is the defense better than two years ago?

Some positions yes, some a tie, some no. Hoping the starters return soon.
