Thought that the start time was weird compared to past games in Tampa but then remembered its outdoors. They probably need to start that late (7:35) since it would be so hot otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I’ll be there tonight, trying not to fall over from the heat. It’s hot out here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing here in Port Charlotte, we haven’t had a drop of rain the last 4 days, very unusual here in Florida during rainy season. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real feel right now in Port Charlotte is 109, don’t ever remember being that high, actual temp is 95. Edited July 21 by The Mighty Mite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almagest Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Super glad I can't watch this one legally because of MLB blackout rules, but I get it. I'm a quick 3.5 hour trip from Tampa after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a dumb system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Might be my favorite lineup all year.. Only think is I would rather have Quero in for Benintindi https://publish.twitter.com/?url=https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/1947382067542823413 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see the following post trade deadline: Meidroth, SS Teel, C/DH* Vargas, 1B Benintendi, LF* Sosa, 2B Montgomery, 3B* Quero, DH/CA Robertson, RF* Baldwin, CF# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my best guess. If he doesn’t work there, he doesn’t really work anywhere. Dude gets the most of his natural raw power, but he does not profile as a legit 1B / DH in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also about 8 teams in playoff contention for whom Sosa would be a definite offensive upgrade at 2nd, if that's a thing being bandied about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they've gotta do something since it seems like Chase is the guy at 2B (covering SS to get Sosa in the lineup). Could always listen to offers and if they don't move him, maybe see if he can learn LF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that we should wait and see how they handle playing time after the deadline before assuming too much. I like Sosa despite his flaws, but there is reason to believe he doesn’t fit the Getz mold and Harold’s commentary seems to support that. As such, they could be showcasing him a bit to prove he can handle 2B without being a total disaster there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I think once guys are moved (every day and bench players), we'll see Sabol up serving as the 3rd catcher, getting both Q and Teel in the lineup every day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah well its definitely what the Sox should be doing too but they aren't. Hopefully we see that more here in the next week or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Not giving Colson every rep at SS is just insane. Not playing Teel and Quero together is insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
