7/28 White Sox (Sale) @ Cubs (Lackey) 7:05 CSN

[Omar]

also on WGN, peace be upon you.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I will be at the game today, right field bleachers - extra early during batting practice for the sole reason of heckling Sale while he warms up and getting in his head

 

currently taking 1-liner suggestions to yell at him

 

if he throws meatballs, you're welcome.

stick to the obvious, just do it better than everyone.

 

"hello, chris. do you throw a cutter?"

 

"did you know president scissors had to drop out of the race because nobody would run with him?"

 

"rock beats scissors!"

 

"why are scissors such good dancers? because of their sharp moves!"

Just transcribe Homer's speech from Bart Star to a giant poster board and have Chris Sale talking to jerseys.

 

You're cut too shushy!

good lineup Joe

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Sale vs Lackey certainly isn't an ideal matchup for us but if Lackey can keep it close and we can get Sale's pitch count up early we should be able to crush the White Sox bullpen again at least.

I'm by no means a lineup expert, but I don't get the continued use of Zobrist at 4.

[Andy]

I'm by no means a lineup expert, but I don't get the continued use of Zobrist at 4.

Especially in this lineup, where there are 4 righties in a row directly behind him.

Maybe he's going off the (admittedly small sample size of) past ABs Zobrist has against Sale.

I'm by no means a lineup expert, but I don't get the continued use of Zobrist at 4.

the guy with the theoretically best at bats coming up after your two best hitters who are most likely to be on base and/or on third base seems defensible to me. The other options are quite hacky and strikeoutable.

 

4 guys in a row with a roughly 38% chance of getting on base seems like a good idea.

tonight, sale is going to get lit up.

ended up being a fire sale

 

So bad.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I've got a good feeling about tonight, too. I think we'll dong him. And I think Lackey will pitch alright. And, with Heyward out of the lineup, there won't be as many Gold Glovers for him to blame, anyway.

Looking at the weather, I seriously doubt we get this one in.

There isn't supposed to be any rain after about 6:30-7. Maybe there's a delay but they are definitely getting this one in

maybe a delay? what i'm looking at says it'll pass around 7?

When the rain is wet, the humor is dry.
