Huge win yesterday. Burke has officially become our stopper and helped us reclaim a 1st place tie of the AL Central. Today’s game, if it evens gets in, is going to come down to who can hit more IMO.

For the Sox, we’ll start things off with Murphy as our opener before going to Fedde. As I outlined in the “Trade Proposal” thread, Chris has been outstanding since Jun 1st and is setup for success today against a Guardians lineup who hasn’t fared well against LHP (85 wRC+) and is missing their best hitter against them in Jose Ramirez. After that is when things get murky. Fedde has been pitching well as of late (2.39 ERA & 3.41 FIP since Jun 1st), but it feels like smoke & mirrors with a 6.49 K/9 and he isn’t providing much innings (~4 1/2 on average during this timeframe). While I always want to be an optimist, I will continue to scream that an implosion is eventually coming for Erik. Let’s just hope it’s not today and that he & Murphy can keep us alive through the 6th.

Meanwhile, the Guardians are throwing Tanner Bibee. On paper, his 2-9 record would suggests he really sucks, but that’s only partly true. On the season, he’s put up a 3.69 ERA, but expected figures like him much less with a 4.55 FIP & 4.52 xERA. Dude throws six pitches including three fastball with over 20% utilization. His K rate is down quite a bit this year sitting around 7.5 per 9. Overall it’s not great pure stuff relying on location and favorable extension to be successful. While he pitched incredibly well in his last start against us (6 IP of shutout ball), I still believe this guys is very much hittable in his current form. Just need to be a bit more selective and wait for pitches that can be damaged.

Again, not optimistic this one gets played, but if it does I’m predicting the Sox squeeze a nail biter 5 to 4.

Let’s fucking go!!

What’s the latest weather report? A rain-out wouldn’t be terrible for us, but it also being a Sunday I’d really love to get a game in

I’m glad we don’t go with the dreaded Sunday lineup for every day game.

Looking at the radar it should be clear by game time. The hour by hour has it clear at game time with some rain around 4PM then clear again.

I signed up for the Peacock channel yesterday.Doe anybody know what channel it is on? I Have AT%T Uverse. I've tried calling AT%T and they're closed on Sunday.

We are way overdue to light up a right hander. Would love to see it today.?

We are not on standard time. How many times???

We are on Daylight time until November.

The game is at 1:00 central daylight time.

Just use CT all year.

Thank you. And Go Sox!!

it's a streaming service like Netflix or Hulu. It is NOT a channel on a cable/satellite system.

Yep, the only MLB games that are ever on standard time are the ones played at Chase Field locally on MST.

I don't know. If you're getting it through your AT&T service, you'd need to download the app somewhere (phone, tablet, Roku, Smart TV) and create a login account. I have no idea what instructions AT&T has for accessing Peacock subscribe through their service. Do you have an AT&T Uverse streaming app? If so, can you access Peacock from there?

.....or does your Uverse cable menu have access to streaming services? Maybe you can access from there? I don't have Uverse so I have no idea.

Not sure how accurate it is but MLB.com has this game starting in a delay on the homepage.

I knew this would draw you out! Unfortunately, you better hope for a loss, because otherwise I’m riding out the CST!

Game is in a delay, Sun-Times said grounds crew uncovered the tarp and as soon as they did, it started raining heavily again so they had to recover the infield.

Got my workout in early today to watch this one, we starting on time?
