Then we can go Kay or Fedde in game 3 and bullpen game for game 4. We can even choose between Burke and Martin for game 5.

I really was rooting for that.
4 hours ago4 hr 5 hours ago, Green Line said:I don't think Davis Martin should pitch in the next series unless they completely run out of pitchers. Please god no.Just when you start to think someone doesn't belong they prove that they do. At various points in the season Kay, Fedde , Acuna, Hagen , Schultz ,Colson, Braden, Murakami and on and on have taken their lumps from this board.Yet we're still in it and the Red Sox, Cubs and Astros aren't.Just have fun and stop worrying about who sucks and who doesn't. Unless they win the World Series all of us are going to end up a bit disappointed sooner or later. Edited 4 hours ago4 hr by CaliSoxFanViaSWside
3 hours ago3 hr Cleveland's pitching will be rested, but their bats will be cold, not having faced live in-game pitching for almost a week.

2 hours ago2 hr I am trying to wrap my head around the Sox strategy for pitching. Is it that they lack arms that can go 6+ innings from the start that they get creative with openers, then a guy who goes for several innings and then lock down the later innings?Or is it that they are unpredictable with who will pitch, making other teams have to scout every pitcher and have hitters adjust to the pitcher coming out of the pen?

53 minutes ago53 min Noted Cubs fan Bruce LeVineLine actually made a decent point on The Score this morning that this series favors Venable and the Sox bullpen as they will have two days of rest between each game. So Venable can go a bit wild with his bullpen usage as he loves to do.
49 minutes ago49 min I like to think the Sox management are looking to re- shape their whole approach to pitching and roster constructionTotal moneyball strategy on pitching staff.Get 12-14 good arms out there and get 27 outs every nite as a group effort nitely.30 million/year starters kill your ability to be nimble. That guy has arm trouble you are screwed. Spread good money among 14 guys with power arms. Everybody can go 2-3 innings and everybody gets plenty of work.The way arms break down these days just spread the risk.

You need starters that can go 6-7 innings every now and then or the bullpen would get burned out.

If the Sox advance past Cleveland the schedule is completely different in the ALCS with days off only after games 2 and 5.

Cleveland has plenty of motivation without a quote from a Sox player to inspire them.In any case, this is a year for the young White Sox to learn from their mistakes. If Cleveland manages to use the quote to inspire them, maybe the Sox players will learn not to give their future opponents posterboard material. The current Sox team should have more good seasons in front of them. I don't think that Grifol's did. Edited 6 minutes ago6 min by soxtalker999
Just now1 min I have a beer walk on Saturday, going from house to house trying craft beers and eating food. As excited as I am about that, I hope each house has the game playing. Last year, several houses had the Cubs game on, and I got to see the Brewers beat the hell out of them. Regardless, I will be drinking a lot of Saturday...for one reason or another.
