Capn12 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 No reason to actually follow up last night's decent lineup, with anything remotely resembling a major league lineup. I'm sorry, but you lose any good will you have, not that there was much, when you really put Leury Garcia as the leadoff hitter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snopek Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 This is why it's hard to envision this team stringing together many winning streaks. Just can't help but get in your own damn way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think this will be any different than all the previous games Sheets has played? Since mid-May, he is 8/50 with 1 xhb and 0 RBI. He's awful.

The lineup I saw had McGuire at DH and Vaughn in LF. Edit: apparently there was a fake lineup floating around on Twitter.

CentralChamps21 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 OPS vs RHP Vaughn .794 Sheets .638 Engel .623 Even if Vaughn somehow needs "a day off" which I doubt, Engel is a better option for RF, giving you essentially the same offense but far, far better defense. Leury 1st and Medick 9th is also obscene. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably looking at another low scoring game and not only is his bat better than Gavin's against LHP he's going to make probably one more play out there tonight than Gavin over 9 innings and that will be important.

Chicago White Sox Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 2 hours ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: Why is Tony La Russa the way he is? 9 hours ago, Chicago White Sox said: Alright boys, the Sox have reclaimed 2nd place in the Central after last night’s win and now are four games back of the divisional lead. A win tonight would put us back at .500, which would be a nice milestone with Lynn & Eloy coming back soon and hopefully Anderson in a few more weeks. It would also ensure that we’re at .500 heading into six games against the Rangers & Tigers. As such, wining one of these next two games will be huge. Tonight will prove the more challenging games of the two remaining with the Dodgers. On the mound for LA is Tony Gonsolin, who currently sits 6-0 with a 1.59 ERA, 3.04 FIP, and a 90th percentile xwOBA. Beyond just being awesome to start this year, the dude has a wide assortment of secondary pitches that should pose problems for us. Against righties, he primarily uses his slider (.152 wOBA | .255 xwOBA) and against lefties a combination of a split finger fastball (.143 wOBA | .194 xwOBA) and a curve (.000 wOBA | .048 xwOBA). As such, Tony won’t just be able to stack the lineup with bad LH hitting tonight. Gonsolin’s biggest weakness has traditionally been his walk rate, so if I’m Tony I’m probably starting every guy who has a semblance of plate discipline and hoping Cueto can keep us alive until we reach their bullpen. Unfortunately we don’t have many players that fit that billing, so I’d look to prioritize defense where possible (i.e. Pollock in LF & Engel in RF). Also, I pray that Legend and his two walks will be on the bench, but fully expect Tony to bat him leadoff due to his speed & switch hitting abilities. This game isn’t going to be easy and will likely come down to Cueto’s pitching performance tonight. If he can limit the Dodgers to two runs over say six we may be able to squeak out a win. If not, at least Thursday poses a far more favorable matchup for us. Either way, we got nothing to lose tonight given the tough matchup and hopefully the offense can find a way to surprise us. Let’s fucking go!!!! I fucking despise Tony La Russa…what a predictably stupid move by a brain-dead asshole 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Organization is inept, but players are on a roll. I'm moderately interested in this team again. Wish they'd do away with their manager... but such is life. Let's do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 We know Grandal has to catch sometimes and he won't be DFA'ed this year regardless, but Leury and Sheets also can't be dragging the lineup down simultaneously. With Moncada and Harrison, though, options are limited. McGuire at least brings his own set of positives to the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
