Darvish was very good. Moncada is struggling badly. Might be good to let him rest this week against the Pirates. He would get four off days but only miss two games.Comment

We've won 7 of our last ten games. We've gained zero games on both Cleveland and Minnesota in that stretch.Last edited by vegandork; 08-23-2020, 03:49 PM.Comment

Come on. It was a 2-run homer vs a solo homer. It was edge-of-your-seat baseball for the first time in nearly a decade.
I wanted to see how the team would do against someone other than the Tigers and Royals. 2 out of 3 and a +11 run differential sure as hell makes me feel a lot better today than I felt Thursday.👍 1Comment

OK, but the Cubs fell flat on their asses a few times, too.

The Cubs fell flatter, but they don't have a good offense, especially without Bryant. Which is why Cease's numbers are better than the effort he gave.Comment

This was a disappointing, frustrating game. But going into this road series against a perennial playoff team that is in first place in their division, we would have all gladly taken 2-out-of-3 if it had been offered to us on Thursday.
I agree, rest Moncada. Put him on the 10 day IL."Hope...may be indulged in by those who have abundant resources...but those who stake their all upon the venture see it in its true colors only after they are ruined."

The solace is that we get the Pirates and the Royals next and should win ballgames. The problem is that we're not gonna gain ground by losing even one game in a series against the NL central teams because the Twins are keeping pace.

Edit: And Cubs had their top three pitchers lined up for us.Riding Shotgun on the Sox Bandwagon since before there was an Internet...

I didn't mind Cease coming out for the 6th. I didn't think he should have pitched to Schwarber after the last AB where Schwarber doubled the opposite way. It meant Cease was going to have to come inside and that's what cost him. One major mistake.Riding Shotgun on the Sox Bandwagon since before there was an Internet...

The stupid move was throwing a third straight slider to Schwarber when there was no way he was catching up to the 98 high cheese. It's partly on McCann.Comment

All good things must come to an end, I see another winning streak coming up as we face the Pirates and Royals, at worst we should take both series.Now coming up to bat for the White Sox is the Mighty Mite, Nelson Fox.Comment

Despite my user name, I'm not a doctor. However, Moncada had COVID-19. Clearly Moncada's not 100%. If his issues are CV related, maybe he should play two sit the third game.
Going into this series I was merely hoping they wouldn’t get swept. Once they won the first two, I wanted a sweep. 0-4 RISP & leaving Cease in too long ended hope of a sweep.Last edited by DrCrawdad; 08-23-2020, 08:32 PM.Comment
