T R U Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 This will be tough but they really need to go 6-0 against the athletics and Rockies. With the twins and guardians about to play each other that would be huge. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I'm waiting for the Royals to play their youth and basically pack it in for the year. Them in playing for draft position will hurt us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I just don't see how we can win the division without Tony in the dugout. Said no Sox fan this century. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Royals have basically been playing their youth since their Toronto road trip / the trade deadline, no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t follow them closely but it does seem that way. Most of their now regulars are young guys I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition, the draft order is now by lottery for the top 6 picks. Tanking is less relevant than it has ever been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrankinSox Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Looking ahead to next week's make-up game with Cleveland, if the rotation holds Giolito would be facing McKenzie. However, the Sox have a day off Monday so they could have Giolito pitch on normal rest Wednesday vs. the Rockies and push Cease back to Thursday to face Cleveland. Now one might argue that with only 24 games left, you want Cease pitching in as many of them as possible and under no circumstances should you be pushing him back. Another option is to push Giolito back in the rotation and let Lynn pitch vs. Cleveland, as Lynn is scheduled to pitch next Friday but could pitch Thursday on normal rest with the off-day in there. How would you handle the rotation for this game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralChamps21 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Don't remember where I saw this, but Twins are now 2-98 in their last 100 games at Yankee Stadium. Can that really be true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have also faced the Twins in the playoffs 6 separate times in that span and won all 6 series with an overall record of 16-2 in those 18 playoff games.

caulfield12 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) MLB Playoff Odds | FanGraphs Baseball White Sox now in 2nd place behind Guardians but ahead of the Twins Also, now 22nd or 23 in MLB homers, depending if you go by actual numbers of home runs or pace of homers per game (behind Rays). Guardians are currently dead last. Edited September 9, 2022 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d just be happy if the Sox go 14-7 the next 21, and then whatever it takes vs the Twins the final series. Hopefully the Twins will be eliminated, and the Sox eek it out in the end vs Cleveland.
