The Chicago White Sox should still play as if they have a chance

The Chicago White Sox lost to the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night. They made multiple different comebacks in the game but all of it was for not. Now, the Guardians have the tiebreaker in case of a tie and a 5.0-game lead in the division with 14 games to go.

It is certainly going to be hard to come back from that. It is not impossible but it feels incredibly unlikely. With that in mind, the White Sox need to keep playing as if they have a chance because they do have a chance.

Until they are mathematically eliminated, they should give it their all. They came into this season with high expectations for a reason. They lost one game to Cleveland in late September and it feels like the end because of the play that they have displayed this season.

However, there is no doubt that they have been a much better team this month. They have shown the ability to beat good teas and win consistently so why not try to get on another run? They are not out of it math wise as mentioned before so go for it.

The Chicago White Sox could make things interesting with a few straight wins.

Lance Lynn is on the mound on Wednesday and he has been brilliant in the second half. He was injured to start the year and it took him a minute to get his legs under him but he has been great. His latest outing was a dominant start in a rainout makeup against these Guardians.

If Lynn can go out there and do that again and the White Sox win, you never know what can happen from there. Again, it is unlikely but they should play like it is likely. You never know what happens when a team believes in themselves.

The most dangerous thing is hope. Lynn can give them some hope. The offense can also give them some hope if they get to Triston McKenzie (who is amazing) early in the game. It is going to be a hard-fought game no matter how the cookie crumbles.

No matter what happens this year, the White Sox are going to make changes in the offseason. Because of that, there is no reason to do anything other than hope that they can at least make it interesting in the final weeks of the season. A big win with Lynn over Cleveland would be a great start.
