After a nice Flag Day victory the boys go for the sweep.

While the starters did nothing to help the bullpen the last two days, and there is a pretty good chance a short outing will happen again today, the bullpen has held their own this series as opposed to what  the Texas Rangers did to them.  A win today gets the White Sox that much closer to .500.  

Below is ESPN's take......oddly the Detroit Free Press has a preview but Chicago media does not....

Odds are, it will be a close game

Don't confuse Alex Faedo with Erick Fedde if you plan on wagering on today's game. 

 

PITCHING PROBABLES: White Sox: Vince Velasquez (0-0); Tigers: Alex Faedo (1-2, 2.92 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 28 strikeouts)

LINE: White Sox -115, Tigers -105; over/under is 9 1/2 runs

BOTTOM LINE: The Chicago White Sox play the Detroit Tigers after Andrew Vaughn's four-hit game on Tuesday.

Detroit has a 24-37 record overall and a 15-19 record in home games. Tigers pitchers have a collective 3.78 ERA, which ranks seventh in the AL.

Chicago has gone 16-14 in road games and 29-31 overall. The White Sox have a 9-25 record in games when they have allowed at least one home run.

The teams meet Wednesday for the sixth time this season. The White Sox lead the season series 4-1.

TOP PERFORMERS: Jonathan Schoop has 10 doubles, a triple, five home runs and 18 RBI while hitting .189 for the Tigers. Harold Castro is 11-for-38 with two doubles over the past 10 games.

Luis Robert ranks third on the White Sox with a .284 batting average, and has five doubles, six home runs, eight walks and 24 RBI. Vaughn is 14-for-37 with seven RBI over the past 10 games.

LAST 10 GAMES: Tigers: 3-7, .209 batting average, 5.42 ERA, outscored by 34 runs

White Sox: 6-4, .286 batting average, 3.35 ERA, outscored opponents by 10 runs

 

 

12:10pm Chicago start time today. 

Let’s hope VV gives you 5 solid and the bats continue to produce.  A sweep heading to Houston would be nice, but I don’t have a good feeling about VV + a getaway day lineup.  Hope I’m wrong. 

Can someone fix the subject not sure I can, sorry 

KEEP IT ROLLING, HARRY!

I am thinking 3 from VV and 3-4 from Martin is the plan.  I would be pretty shocked, but delighted, to see VV go 4-5.  

Also, with our current offensive options, everyday is sort of a getaway lineup.  I suppose we may get Zavala and Harrison instead of McGuire and Leury, but the dropoff there isn't too bad.

When we look back at our 2022 World Series Championship, we will all remember the Great Harry Chappas Gamethread Victory Streak  that was reluctantly started in the middle of June.

And that is precisely the lineup we get. 

Pollock LF, Vaughn 1B, Robert CF, Abreu DH, Moncada 3B, Engel, RF, Harrison 2B, Zavala C, Mendick SS

Let's hope the Burger situation is truly day to day and that we won't find out this weekend his hand had to be amputated. 

 

 

No Burger again

We really need this sweep.

Man. 30 and 31 would be so sweet, especially with a Twins loss and heading to Houston.

Just put your cursor over the title , left click and hold it a second .   Title will then get smaller and in a rectangular box to be edited.

DVS said he took some swings this morning, but I believe TLR already said that Burger was going to be out for the series.

I've never seen people shorten Chicago to "Chgo", aside from the new sports website

No need playing him if he feels fine

Does anyone know how one might be able to watch this securely online for free? Stupid blackouts. Does reddit streams still work?

@Harry Chappas you are an excellent GT creator

Feeling positive vibes. Few predictions today.

Velasquez turns in a quality outing. 

Moncada (yes, Moncada) homers.

Vaughn homers.

Abreu has multiple hits/RBI's.

White Sox sweep.

Edited June 15, 20223 yr by Richie

Tigers 38 total runs behind the Pirates for 29th in MLB.

White Sox averaging 7.7 rpg last six games and still just 26th in total runs.

On the plus side, only 14 runs behind the Astros.
