Giolito va Carrasco

I will be at game today and Thursday.  Just want to see good baseball 

I think we have a good chance to at least win the series.

This will be a repeat of the Cardinals series of just awful baseball all around

May as well try to go 6-0 this week.  ?

Carrasco has been up and down this year, but is a smart veteran pitcher with 4 good pitches. When he is on he can be very tough to beat, as evidenced by his last outing beating a very good Diamondbacks team, by going 8 shutout innings with only 3 hits and 1 BB. He seems to do his best against impatient free swinging batters like the Sox. Hopefully this game tonight will be one of his down games. 

Any smoke down state? Not really anything upstate

Let’s strive mightily to win and make our run to the top of the division 

Two s%*#, cursed franchises. Should be a real blast.

Beni LF, TA SS, Luis CF, AV 1B, Burger 3B, Yaz DH, Remy 2B, Colas RF, Seby C

Pretty sad reality of how weak the Sox roster is when our DH threat is Grandal.

Feels like it should be Sheets, but he’s been so bad lately

Both worthless as a true DH!

Grandal has three hits this month (2 on July 1), last extra base hit was June 24. Dropped 52 points on his OPS over the past month (.732 6/18, .680 today).

Sheets has similar stats (2 hits in July, dropped from .736 6/18 to .688 today).

What's more egregious is they have no legitimate 4th outfielder in New York. Fear Robert fatigue will lead to an injury, with him getting less than a game a month off this season, and while others rested last week he had to schlep twice across country to Seattle and then Atlanta for the HR bullshit. Glad he sat out the exhibition game. All for a Jerry revenue sharing check.

Mets suck almost as bad as us

Forgot I'm blacked out....

Watching Mets broadcast, Cohen: "this is the most undisciplined team in all of baseball, highest chase rate, least patient, most free swinging team by a wide margin..." Darling dialed it back by saying, "they're clearly aggressive" ... LOL

Vaughn hasn’t homered in a long time 

Hopefully Lucas will have his command after the long break. Hope Kopech can regain command on Thursday.

Easily the most disappointing player after TA. 

I didn't expect much from Moncada the rest of his albatross contract, but damn I thought Vaughn would be an elite bat by now. 

He sucks in all honesty. 

 

92 mph on 0-2 right down the plate

Yep, not a starting caliber player on a contending team

Probably for the best

So white sox to have our biggest trade chip s%*# the bed just before the deadline

Let's hope the scouts forgot to tune into this one tonight, Lucas 92 mph junk and all over the plate isn't going to help us .
