ChiSox59 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Need another really good week. 5-1 honestly. Gotta start with both against the Rox, and then likely head to Cleveland 2 GB to play the biggest game of the year Thursday afternoon. Hopefully all with Tony not around.

Lip Man 1 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I still don't understand why they are pitching Cease Wednesday instead of Thursday in Cleveland. Maybe Cairo is listening to TLR too much! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they placing a greater value on routine over best matchup for that one game? or maybe they are looking even farther ahead?🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 With Cleveland winning again tonight the Sox are three back with 21 to go. They simply MUST, MUST win AT LEAST three of the four left against them. Realistically there are no other games that's why Cease has to pitch against them as often as possible. If they can't beat a bad Rockies team that's on them anyway and they don't deserve a playoff spot in my opinion.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt you still call your syrup Aunt Jemima, because you may not be into "woke bs", but you are committed to offending others.

Highland Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 One thing the Sox must not do is look past Colorado and Detroit to look forward to Cleveland. They should beat those two teams, but that is something they have to do on the field. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScootsMcGoots Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Ideally you'd like to go into the Thursday game just one game back. Sox need to go on a really long winning streak to solidify the postseason spot. Hoping Cleveland cools off but I doubt it. They are young and hungry.

White Sox Park Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 The Sox appear to be in the situation, where every game now, is like a playoff game . they really cannot afford very many (if any) losses now, if they want to catch, and pass, Cleveland . teams that have to fight like this, to end the year, can have the advantage of being used to playing in high stress . but on the other hand, may also be drained and just collapse' I truly believe that if the Sox can fight their way to the post season, then we won't have any more of that being eliminated in the 1st round stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Cairo is listening to TLR too much! I agree and I would rather switch Cease with Giolito for that road makeup game against Cleveland. We also have Cleveland again at home after the Detroit series and he is scheduled to get one start in that series. I guess I personally would rather see Cease in 2 starts vs one start in the next 4 Cleveland games. However the sad thing is, if Giolito could just pitch like he once did, then nobody here would have a problem if he did the next Cleveland game.

The Kids Can Play Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 The Sox have 21 games left. We are 4 games back from Cleveland in the loss column. The boys need to step up and everyone on the team needs to do their job and be clutch in every game! Frankly they just need to play their best ball of the year like nothing we've seen from them this year. The Sox can't worry about what Cleveland does! They need a W-L record starting tonight like nothing they have done all season. We will find out in the next 21 games if our Sox players can be clutch and dominant in both hitting and pitching and to prove to themselves and the fans, they are a championship caliber team.

A 5 game comeback this fast against division rivals is going to be tough. That's the kind of thing that could leave your roster just plain worn out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Its also 3 games (4 with tie breaker that we haven't lost just yet), not 5 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxBlanco Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 If they don’t want Cease getting too much rest and throwing off his routine, I would just flip-flop Giolito and Lynn. Let Lynn face Cleveland on Thursday, and then have Lucas open up the series against Detroit. There is no scenario where I’m pitching Giolito in the biggest game of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ'S Cousin Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 No excuses tonight, it’s the A-Team minus Anderson, but Elvis is not a bad replacement and doing a great job defensively. Romy also holding his own. Need the next 3. Especially Thursday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ'S Cousin Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I’d love to see a bench next year with Romy, Elvis on it. I could even live with Romy at second if we pour money into another quality starter and or a legit right fielder. Maybe even Elvis at second??
