LMAO I didn't realize that the Friday afternoon makeup game was the Jose Abreu blanket giveaway from April. It was 100 degrees inside the stadium.

Danny Duffy absolutely cannot suck today. No excuses, 7 innings.

This game could get ugly today.

For both teams lol.

Really don't understand why they don't activate Medlen.

8 innings would be preferable with a three run lead going into the ninth.

Duffy is supposed to be one of our future aces. This would be the time to prove he has it in him to take on that role, especially against a struggling offensive team like the White Sox*.
















*NO JINX

Say maybe 25% chance to win this one today.

I'm not sure if Danny has ever made it 8 innings into a game before. But yes that would be preferable.

SNR starts a thread and the server seems like hot garbage this morning. Coincidence?

Duffy is a head case. He will worry too much about needing to go deep into the game and ultimately get shelled for it.

That's what I'm worried about. He knows if he goes 3 innings today he's going to put the entire team in a bind. Be a good test to see how he reacts.

You're the one who said I should start a game thread one of these days.

I figured I'd spend my bad mojo on a game we're supposed to lose rather than tank one we should win.

His last two starts have been encouraging. Going to be a nice test today for him for sure.
