Anyone else think the coaching staff has instructed guys not to go all out running out grounders? With all the injuries they've suffered from dudes running too hard to 1B, I think it'd be justified. I can't think of another explanation why TLR would let these dudes loaf it.

TLR moves in slow motion so he probably thinks everyone is hustling out the grounders 

A rain delay/late start looks possible.

 

 

Fuck that. 

If I was playing the Sox I'd force doubleheaders too. 

Lol of course we finally get a good lineup and the game is postponed. Can't wait to throw the games on Sunday

Welp. Now we get the AAA lineups for the doubleheader.

The decision to make it a straight doubleheader is quite strange because Sunday is Sunday Night Baseball. Shocked they didn't make it a split of noon and 6pm to protect the SNB start time.

Especially a team that’s draws good attendance wise like the Yankees.

Sucks knowing one of those games will be punted. They do have a day off Monday so maybe there is hope.

I know these are jokes to some extent, but it really is a good strategy for teams hosting the White Sox to postpone games rather than delaying/hoping for a window. I'm being 100% serious when I say it gives the team playing the White Sox a competitive advantage

So tonight's ticket holders are just out of luck?

I was dead serious. You’re absolutely correct. 

FML…going to the game tomorrow and going to get stuck with Keuchel now

Given Keuchel's history against the Yankees this might not be a bad thing.

I have been stuck on Keuchel starts this year. They did win his last start against them. A few years ago, it seemed every game I had tickets for were James Shields starts. Those really sucked. The games were almost always over in the first couple of innings.

That’s tough man.  I remember years feeling like I only attended games the #5 starter started and it was the worse.

Cueto/Cortes, Kopech/Taillon and Sunday night likely Cease but could be Keuchel (TBD for both right now)

Monday is an off day, so they may go Minor League Callup/Bullpen for one of the games on Sunday. 

Will be interesting to see how the lineups are constructed, and whether Tony's preferences to punt game 2 go up against the unwritten rule of slating a strong lineup for the national telecast.

You really think they're going to skip Keuchel?  They should, but I'd be surprised.

They have a 6 man rotation atm and an off day monday.  Literally zero reason to do a BP game or call up a SP.

Looks up the #s for what should be the "Regular" lineup everyone cries about, then I vomit.
