Are they trying to lose the #2 Position

[olpapa]

I don’t see how the team can do any worse with this lineup than they did in Oakland.

I don't see having Yordan in LF with Chas as DH.  That is ass backwards.

Not much worse than some of Dusty's lineups before we clinched. LOL

I hear you, but I am ok with the lineup and resting of players. The only way CWS take the 2nd position from us is if the win all three and we lose all three. Not likely in my opinion.

[Saint]

Not to mention that the White Sox will be trying to get their pitchers in the right rotation and rested too. I don't think there will be a problem holding on to the 2nd seed.

[Saint]

Impressive first inning for Framber.

P.S. ɮօʀȶǟʐ what happened to your thread title?

[Saint]

Some early offense for once. That's a good sign.

[Deleted]

Tucker coming in for Siri. What happened?

[koolade2]

Why is Siri replaced

[Saint]

Framber is looking tuned up and ready to go for the postseason.

He was holding his hand after going head first into third base.

[unionstation82]

Just give Framber a chance to get the ERA in the 2’s and take him out.

[koolade2]

Doesn't look like that is going to happen

[koolade2]

So much for the offense to show up. This is a recurring problem the last two months. When was the last time this team dominated a Game

[koolade2]

I can see now none of the Playoff teams have a close-out closer.

[koolade2]

Bregman has sucked lately. They all have it, it's like a mass hysteria in the clubhouse.

[Saint]

Hit the ball hard that inning at least...

[ɮօʀȶǟʐ]

Thank Gosh for Marwin, eh? I mean, we wouldn't have any errors in this inning and would be batting if we hadn't brought him back to the team.

Nearly as bad as the one Jose booted in the 9th last night that could have cost us the game. If we only had Robel available, Dusty could have used him to rest Jose tonight.

[blcoach8]

I hope we don't envision Javier coming through in the post season.  It's hard to tell if we are putting more importance on resting players or securing the #2 seed.

[unionstation82]

Well, it came down to a situation where a two-run single would’ve tied so it wasn’t exactly a surprise ending.

Any late game situation where Dusty lets guys like Díaz, Marwin, or Maldonado hit is one where he doesn’t care what happens.

If we mess around and blow the two seed. it will come back to bite us. He should have pinch it for Diaz with Yuli.

a new day a new complaint from the mongoloid as you call him. Can’t wait to see what the complaint is tonight! Dusty’s wristbands? Odorizzi only going 4 innings? Stay tuned!

Mongoloids are those who turn a blind eye to the mistakes of their favorite players and hammer the rest for any mistake.  Most of the board has complained about Odorizzi not being able to pitch past the 4th or 5th inning. The problem with that is it overextends the bullpen in games he starts. Seems like any non-mongoloid could figure that out. If you love Dusty's wristbands, toothpicks, and seeing him in his mask every game when NOBODY but him wears one, good for you.  I like to see our manager look like a manager instead of a circus clown.
