YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Even after losing these last 2 games, the Sox are still up 4 games each on KC/Detroit/Cleveland. So, it could be worse. Just start winning again and everything will be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Indians on a roll, up 5-0 on the Royals. They might be the team to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) They are the team to worry about because they have comparable starting pitching and can go 5-6 deep there... Offensively, Kipnis, Brantley, Santana, Napoli, Gomes and Lindor give them six legit threats. Plus they have a much better farm system than anyone in the division that's competing legitimately for the division.

caulfield12 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 OTOH, the Indians don't have the financial resources the White Sox do to add payroll in July/August. So it's basically even...as they do have a number of legit Top 100 prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Cuthbert/Colon will probably be their first two options...whether they can hold the fort or not offensively will be the question. Some other players in that line-up really will need to step up besides Hosmer. Cain and especially Morales still struggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Chris Young, a crafty and fierce veteran, has allowed 13 homers in 32 1/3 innings this season. On Monday, he faced 14 batters and surrendered five solo shots, including two by former Royal Carlos Beltran, a 39-year-old who entered Monday batting just .236 this season. The homer assault represented all of the damage Young allowed in 2 2/3 innings. It was enough to ensure that the Royals continued their precipitous fall, even after solo homers from Alex Gordon and Eric Hosmer, who went deep for the sixth time this season.

caulfield12 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 This might be nearing the official end of the Tigers' ERA in the ALCD... Had a 5-0 lead at Balt with Pelfrey pitching his first decent game of the year and the bullpen's copied the White Sox fiasco in TX (granted, they're actually using their "best" relievers and still getting rocked). 7-5 Orioles going to the top of the 8th.

caulfield12 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) 5 over CLE, 6 1/2 over KC, 7 1/2 over DETROIT High water mark for Sox was 6/7/8 after Monday. Cleveland's got a three game series in Minnesota, and we have Tanaka Sunday...so wouldn't be shocked to see the Indians pick up at least one game. Then again, the Twins have to beat SOMEONE this year. Yankees have won 5 of their last 7. Edited May 13, 2016 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
