They haven't been playing good lately. You can't treat the Sox lightly since ASB

I love the "they MUST sweep the Sox or it's a disaster" takes.

I find it interesting that some articles touting possible White Sox free agent signings in the off season are all about offense. Since the all star break, the young lineup has been putting up some runs. If they do spend in the off season (which I am doubtful that they will) shouldn't the focus be on pitching help?

I don't get this one. They're not even playing Will Robertson. Late inning defensive replacement for Benintendi?

Nice to see Fletch get a look. Tauchman continues to rest up. Maybe he's back vs. Skubal and Beni sits? Although Beni has reverse splits this season.

The Fletcher era begins AGAIN! FOR REAL THIS TIME!

Bench is Sosa, Baldwin, Lee, Taylor, possibly Tauchman. Smart of Venable to give those guys some rest in the middle of 17 straight, but may be a low scoring game tonight.

Tauchman looks like he needs a defensive replacement as well. Always looks like he's running kind of gingerly.

Fletcher inCF Robertson inRF. No Baldwin or tauchman.

That would be the case if they ignore the 9 game lead.  

Maybe the Twins could DFA some of their bullpen arms for the Tigers to take advantage of...

 

Another key injury to a postseason team: The Tigers place closer RHP Finnegan on the 15-day injured list with a right adductor strain.

Checks out. He's been a trooper playing through some stuff throughout the season.

 

The Sox playing hurt players?  That's unpossible!

 

This umps zone is kinda all over the place already 

Nice job getting that run in by Colson

Sox are 21-23 since the all-star break, Tigers are 22-22.
