Royals bullpen blows another one in Pittsburgh

Another day, another bullpen disaster

Royals' pen has blown three games in a row

Also Sox missing Noah Coleman and Wacha, Royals' two best starters on the season

KC currently 3-7 over their last ten games

Kay vs. Lynch (lhp) Tues 6-5 3.29

Fedde vs. Lugo Wed 7-9 5.06

Burke OR Sandlin vs. Dobnak (lhp) 3-4 3.08

they will surely wait and see situation with CLE TEXAS Houston Toronto before deciding on Thursday starter.

Burke going Thursday gives him four full days of rest before theoretical G1 playoff start on the road if they get WC instead

Dobnak is a righty

okay well I just remember he has pretty pedestrian stuff like a Thorpe, seemed more like a lefty lol

also almost nobody will be in attendance except White Sox fans pretty much

will be a pretty even split

Daniel Lynch the last 7 games

29 IP, 25 H, 15 ER, 9 BB, 15 SO, 4.66 ERA

He did just shut out Houston for 5 innings. He typically doesn't go more than 5 innings so hopefully we can jump on them a bit and make them keep using that bullpen

Lynch has been pitching better, but he hasn't been real good as a starter. Lugo and Dobnak have been awful in their recent starts.

Hopefully KC saves those 2 for Cleveland.

The Sox winning the division is a no-brainer, looking at Cleveland’s remaining schedule versus the White Sox schedule.

Depends if Red Sox have anything to play for…otherwise best pitchers will be aligned for NYY series

Said alignment happens this week and as I stated in a different thread, the cubs benefit from this not Cleveland.

Win 2 of 3 v KC and then take our shot to win the division versus Colorado

This really looks like a GameThread

That would break the standing SoxTalk covenant … last winning game thread starter has a sacred/sacrosanct responsibility to start it

Uh oh. History.

Remember 1967 when the KC team ruined our Sox season? Horlen and Peters were going in a DH in KC before a couple thousand fans. Sox lost both games and totally fizzed.

WIll anybody pick up on the historical significance of this series? Is it 1967 revisited?

Sad I can only log in at the library. I've basically taken a year off the board with no way to log on. That said I love this team. The grinders never give up. I even like Muni despite the BA near .200 now. Fave player is Banana Man tho. I like Meidroth a lot and Antonucci. And Vargas is simply amazing. This team has done so well with one of the worst pitching staffs in Sox history. I'm thinking in this era of lift and pull u really don't need dominant pitchers. Guys who are trying to hit it out at all times sometimes frankly miss on the launch angle and the quality of pitch really doesn't matter. How many batting practice homers are missed off fat pitches? A lot. I'd say our pitching staff is ridiculously ordinary. And yet we win.

Only Harrelson and fans mostly born in the 1950s and beyond remember that. Plus, the scenario was 4 teams fighting for just one AL spot in the playoffs.

I recall the KC interim manager was our Luke Appling. The nerve!

Getz can breathe a bit easier.

Mason Adams scheduled for WED now.

would be Gabriel Hughes (0-8, 6.33), then Jose Quintana or Sugano and either Sugano or Freeland to end the season against the Sox

Or they could skip Hughes and go Quintana Sugano Freeland in theory

Don’t they want the Sox to make the playoffs to provide encouragement/hope to Rockies’ fans lol???

Sox just need to take it game by game and find a way to win a ballgame as David Kaplan likes to say

September 27, 1967- The Sox finished the season with the two worst teams in the league, Kansas City and Washington and the fans could smell that elusive World Series in the greatest pennant race ever.

However, it all began to fall apart this night as the Sox dropped a double header to the A’s 5-2 and 4-0 after rain postponed the single game Tuesday. The Sox, in the middle of a pennant race, got over three days off, not having played since Sunday afternoon in Cleveland.

Pitchers Gary Peters and Joe Horlen got tagged with the losses on “Black Wednesday” but the final embarrassment was yet to come. The normally fundamentally sound White Sox made three errors in the twin-bill disaster and got seven hits.

September 29, 1967 - The Sox still had a chance for the pennant before they lost 1-0 to the Senators. The only run was set up when first baseman Tommy McCraw wasn’t able to catch a pop up off the bat of Washington’s Fred Valentine in the first inning. NBC-TV had erected a barrier for their field level cameras in case the World Series came to Comiskey Park and Valentine’s pop fell into that enclosed area near the visitor’s dugout. Valentine then singled driving in the only run. Two errors by the Sox in that first inning led to the unearned run. That season marked the 17th straight year that the Sox finished better than .500 at 89-73.

but they do......it's called momentum, they are not playing the A's or Rockies, winning the series and also the series against the Cubs helps going into the playoffs

Baseball is a game of streaks

This week has statement games. I don't think the division leaders or those who clinched a playoff are going to not put their best out there. Some of these games are a post season dress rehearsal.

I think being able to clinch a playoff spot in KC will help take the pressure off for getting the division.
