ChiSox59 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Banks getting the nod as the opener. Guess they just really don't want to cut Leone. I'd say bobbling that easy play at 1B yesterday should have been the nail in the coffin. I would have let Schuster go myself. He was scratched from AAA yesterday, so maybe that was more injury related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSox2023 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) I’m going with a W for this game just because the lineup and starter are so weak you would normally expect a blowout loss, but it’s still sometimes just fluky ‘ol baseball and the Sox will have to win a second game at some point.

2Deep Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I'm making this less painful to watch this team by betting against them. I am starting 2 team parlays and leaving one spot open so I can bet against them the next day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Look at that lineup..... HAHAHAHA Guy who is a career 327 OBP guy when leading off, gets the call to lead off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, a lineup of nine David Eckstein’s like JR fantasizes about might be better than our current lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a whole lot of other options to lead off. I guess I'd try Moncada or Sheets there as the only two that seem to be able to work a walk every now and then.

Maybe Eloy or Moncada might even fall for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we won't even do that, in favor of Robbie F'n Grossman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
