Alexander vs Cease

Edited October 3, 20214 yr by Tnetennba

Don’t stop… get it.

This game doesn't mean anything now, but I will enjoy skipping the last part of the Bears game to watch the Sox close out the season.

A of Detroit will set the tone for the playoffs.  Let's get er done.

I think this is the only "meaningless" white sox regular season game they will have played this season. 

My weather app says storms between 3 and 6. Maybe Cease gets 2-3 innings of work in and then they just call it and the Sox go into the playoffs on a 6 game winning streak.

It’s going to be scattered though so they will probably get the whole game in.

I say just call it. Too many comebackers, HBP’s and assorted freak injuries so far this season. Now add wet slick conditions to it all right before the playoffs. Nah, pass.

Based on some of our lineups the past month, our manager doesn’t think so.

I suspect 5 of the 6 big guns will be on the bench. Abreu probably still in there. 

Please no high throws to 1st where Abreu catches and backs over the bag....every time he does that I think the full speed runner is going to plow into him....although the runner might get the worst of it since Jose is a big boy.

I'd like to see them all start, and then get replaced on the field one each inning, so each can get a standing ovation from the fans.

Looks like they’ll play, Maybe a rain delay mid-game if the future radar is on to something. Nobody get hurt.

Just give Jose a day off or pull him early. We don't need him getting plunked again. Also, he's notoriously trash when the weather gets cold. I want him 100% for the playoffs. 

Abreu needs 4 rbis to tie salvy and lead the league for the 3rd straight year. Do it

Lineup out and Abreu is pretty much the only regular not playing. Giving Vaughn the start at 1B.

Pretty much a playoff lineup beside that. Stay hot, ride the heater into Houston!

Interesting...not at all obvious to me why he would be the only one out.

This is pretty funny now that we’ve seen the lineup. 

 

Gives Abreu 4 days off till game 1 of the playoffs. Pretty ideal there.

Yeah sort of puzzling lineup IMO. Just hoping no one gets hurt!
