The last meeting between the two last Sunday in Seattle neither pitched particularly well .Walker gave up 5 runs on 7 hits in 5 2/3 innings while Danks allowed 7 runs on 8 hits in 5 innings.

 

This time around it's at the Cell so maybe Danks can muster up some of that home mojo and get the Sox closer to .500

 

Don't be surprised if TNT is on the bench tonight since Walker is RH.

We know what LaRoche is. Let's see Trayce the rest of the season.

No Trayce tonight...

This is getting ridiculous.

Just another reason to dislike Robin. Trayce is hitting .286 against righties... but no, he has to be over .500 against them to start. smh

This is getting ridiculous.

 

Yep, god forbid Avi, Eaton or Melky get a night off.

or you DH Trayce instead of DH'ing LaRoche. Why is that so hard for Robin?

There's absolutely nothing to be gained from protecting him from righties at this moment.

protecting who... LaRoche?

One thing worth saying is that LaRoche is actually 7 for his last 22 with 2 HR, 3 2b, and 5 RBI in that stretch of 5 starts, and since we're going to be honest here that there is 0% chance the White Sox are going to eat the $13 million on his contract if we can nurse him back to having a decent September and rebuild his confidence in himself that could give him a shot at contributing more next year.

Ahhhhh, the voice of reason.

No problem with LaRoche playing, especially since they've faced more LHP of late. Personally, don't see a reason to have the three starting outfielders playing every single day it seems.

This is getting ridiculous.

 

Didn't I tell you not to be surprised ?

Oh Robin lol

Oh Robin lol

Every facet of this team gets more and more embarrassing by the day. It's just so infuriating.

That's why I don't watch. I watched last night because of Trayce.

puttimg Trace in positions to succeed is excellent managing. Build some confidence. I think he has made most of his hay in the minors vs.lefties.

I'll be watching again tonight, got 7 hours til my preseason re-air. Let's go sox!

Swirsky, good.

May Elvis be with the sox tonight!

Steve sounds so sick.

While I agree, he needs more ABs also.

Abreu needs to DH and Alexei needs to go
