Alright. I guess since I'm one of the few delusional enough to think the Sox can still turn this around, I'll give it a go.

Just make sure you watch Ted Lasso in the interim.

I would have given TA a full game off tonight after that piss poor effort yesterday, but I guess that is why I am sure everyone on the team would hate me if I was the manager.

Two must watch teams. Should be a real test.

Finally, the White Sox are playing a team that's probably not better than them.

Reds have big time pitching advantage tonight

Except we are facing their top 3 pitchers (2 of which are legit, Greene and Lodolo) while we have our worst pitching (Lynn and Clev)

I don't think the Sox are in the position to take any team lightly.  I can easily see the Reds win this series.

Slow Horses is decent too

They should start Eloy in RF and Dylan Cease at DH tonight

I'm not so sure the Sox are any better. Although the Reds are under 500 at 13-18, its a better record than the Sox. The Reds arguably have played as tough of a schedule as the Sox. Every team the Reds played other than OAK and PHI are all over 500: Realistically they are both bad teams. 

TB 26-6
ATL 22-12
PIT 20-12
TEX 18-12
TOR 18-14
SD 17-15
PHI  15-17
OAK 6-26

The Reds are hungry…like the Orioles last year.  Younger, and they hustle.  Votto one of their few veterans remaining, and he has been out.  Have been playing opponents pretty tough, the NL version of the Tigers in recent weeks.

Greene might destroy the Sox lineup.

 

Seems fans have been arguing Sox “more talented” all the way back to the Twins/Piranhas days…early 2000’s.

JR’s whole scheme is essentially based on the belief that talent collections will gel eventually, but they usually don’t correlate to winning, team-oriented baseball.

Just don’t get your asses kicked like you did late in 2020…

We win if we can keep be patient and make Greene throw strike and down.  If we chase and chase the high stuff we are doomed 

lol they have zero chance

Hitters on the Sox have no command of the zone. It’s truly pathetic.

Keep chasing boys…8 swings and misses on pitches well off the plate

Thankfully Vaughn was alert on that play.

Game thread about as dead as the offense tonight. 

they’re not scoring today

Everyone is just waiting for them to flip that switch.

Katz and HC gotta get bounced. 

Good approach by the Reds. Stop throwing outside.

Hahn first…nothing else matter besides Jerry selling though.
