8/18 Gamethread: Crosstown Classic Game 5, 7:05 CT. Hudson vs. Gausman

2 walkoff losses in a row sucks.

Find a way to win this afternoon and split the season series and stay up 4 games in the division.

Let's start by not giving up 2 home runs in the 1st.

Someone said Thorpe is capped at 75 pitches this year

I said his max pitches thrown were 75 last start. He’s continued to go up in pitch count each start and I’d expect that to continue until he reaches about 100.

I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a Google notification saying the Sox won 4-3. I didn't know they lost (in another walk-off) until I came to SoxTalk. Sucks, but I'm less concerned about losing to the Cubs than their record against the AL Central. That being said, they really need to win today.

You know you’re pitching is in trouble when “undecided” is a regular spot in the rotation!

As much as the Cubs and their ownership get crap for being cheap and never truly “going for it”, their front office identified their extreme need for starting pitching due to injuries and lack of performance better than Getz did and they acquired four starters prior to the deadline.

While this is 100% true, it was a much easier call for the Cubs to go all in than the Sox since they have some pretty important players in their walk year.

But your overall point stands. There’s no way this starting pitching is remotely equipped for the stretch run.

Wonder what “Undecided’s” innings limit is.

Peterson

Civale (being used in bullpen but was starting for A’s)

Gausman

Holmes

Getz needed two starters at a minimum and only acquired one. They didn’t really need a CF that swings a wet newspaper.

Being completely fair about this, this season was also a huge overcorrection from their lack of effort at the deadline last season. They caught a tremendous amount of s%*# last season and that even carried over to this season with good ole Bruce

Tip of the hat to Fedde for his excellent 4.2 innings.

8/28 @ Twins: Davis Martin's return could be just what this team needs.

Davis Martin has a 3-4 record with an ERA of 6.08 and 28 strikeouts in 8 appearances against the Twins in his career.

Otoh Steele and/or Horton are going to be back at some point next season.

But yeah, Suzuki Happ Imanaga (complicated contract, and time to go back into FA but no great pitchers after Skubal either)...

ok

Burke, undecided and pray for rain.
