If we want any hope of a sweep, then the offense needs to wake the fuck up and start hitting some homers.  That COL series was an absolute shit show in that regard.

Having Eloy and Robert in the same lineup for more than 30 minutes would certainly help. 

Vaughn not in the lineup tonight after six days off over the past 10 days

?????????????????????????

Eloy back in LF, Pollock in CF, Sheets in RF, Yaz DH, McGuire C

I think this has more to do with TLR being a fucking idiot over anything else.  

That is some defensive outfield

Normally I’d agree but with a roster spot opening something seems odd

That is one rough defensive OF...

I don't think its a stretch to believe at least 2-3 new guys will be brought in before Tuesday at 5pm, so yeah....likely just getting Markel off hte 40 man before having to DFA.

and behind the starter who pitches to the most contact

It would be dandy if Rick could trade away some of Tony's toys at the deadline.

Who wants to take Kelly, Sheets, & Leury off our hands??

Edited July 29, 20223 yr by Tnetennba

Made sense to catch Grandal tonight, can actually catch Lynn's pitches and Lance doesn't give a rats ass who is behind home plate. Allows him to catch Sunday as well, assuming he can catch three times a week at this point (perhaps an incorrect assumption).

Optimal Offensive and Defensive Lineup: SS TA 3B YM # CF AJP 1B JA C YG # LF EJ DH AV RF AE 2B JH

Truer words have not been spoken

At least Luery isn't in the lineup. At least until Eloy gets hurt again anyway.

This could be the game of the century. At least.

Posters on this board do a lot more "explaining away" good Sox wins than they do excusing bad Sox losses, actually.  Series wins against Tampa don't really count.  Dominating the Yankees in a doubleheader sweep in Yankee stadium doesn't really count.  Sweeping the Red Sox in Fenway doesn't really count because they weren't winning at the time, and so on. 

Losing to a bad team proves we're bad.  Beating a good team proves that even good teams can have bad series, don't get too excited.  So at a minimum, it all evens out. 

Lol, well said.

Will Tony go down with the ship or sneak off on a rescue boat with the ladies??

This ship is not sinking, we are just giving it a couple of days of rest.

I'm still believing the White Sox can get this ship turned around and headed in the right direction but having said that, I won't be surprised to see them hit an iceberg either. Going 7-3 over these next 10 games would sure be helpful.

Actually I would prefer Engel, with Leury second choice, in RF today. Luis flew out to Charlotte to drink chicken soup, Pollock in CF and Eloy in LF.

With Grandal, Eloy and Vaughn on the roster, there is no place for Sheets. All three are far more valuable than any platoon advantage, and Sheets is the worst defensive RF option in the organization. Hahn needs to send him down or trade him.

Most likely this is true, but Kath is out of the lineup for Kanny tonight as well which makes it curious.
