Bossanoveralls Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I turned the game off I think in the 2nd inning somewhere. Anal fornicators, the lot of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

he gone. Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 looking for the silver linings ... 5 games in 4 days, no off days. A 15 inning game. The twins for intents and purposes are completely done and maybe we get a half version of them coming up? Next 9 games we need to go 7-2 with a sweep of cleveland They need to go 4-5. That puts us 1 back with 6 to go and the tiebreaker. If we don't sweep but still go 7-2 against Cle, Det, Min and they go 4-5 against CWS, TB, Tex? (i forgot who they play, think its TX) .... then we are still 1 back, but would need to jump them 2 games in the final 6.... aka in a miracle situation the Royals go 3-3 and we need to go 5-1 against the Padres and Twins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I can pretty much guarantee the Twins will play us tough for the 6 games we have left with them. Of course, that will mean nothing if the Sox do not sweep Cleveland Tuesday through Thursday. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierSox Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 That Naylor blown game 6 run lead game is now looming large. Win that game and 2 out of 3 would win the tiebreaker. I shut that game off thinking there was no way they could lose. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 It's possible that the Sox can sweep the Guardians, but I don't see it. The Guardians are playing well, and I don't see them losing three in a row here. Also, the Sox offense tends to shut down at least once during a series. But at least there is meaningful baseball for the Sox in September. Many years that is not the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox probably have to go 12-3 at worst, including a sweep against Cleveland. Sox are gonna take this thing one at a time, as they should. Let's start with a W tomorrow what is easily the best matchup on paper for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 It would be so White Sox to have the Twins roll over and die vs. Cleveland but play the Sox tooth and nail and end any hope they may have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to happen all the time, but maybe it's just because the Sox actually suck, and legitimately can't beat bad teams while Cleveland can, so it appears like bad teams lay down for the Guardians and play hard against the Sox. Either way, I agree that the Sox won't handle the Twins like the Guardians just did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team had just clawed back above .500, and I thought it was "OK - the team hit some April slumps, but we're back where we need to be now." ...then Naylor came up with the bases loaded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Guess the pitching match ups we are gonna be hoping for are Cease, Lynn, and Cueto… or Cease, Lynn, and Martin… Which they’ll probably run out Gio instead of Cueto isn’t good to go. Yay. Prove us wrong White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I would ask Sox pitchers to pitch Naylor inside with fastballs on his hands. Purpose would not be to hit him but rather to back him off the plate like you might with any hitter with a high leg kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
