I'll agree to the ban if you guys let me back on OD 2022 if I ask to be reinstated. I'd be glad to be banned. I spend way too much time on this board. I PMed the Mods asking to be banned months ago, nobody answered so now I have to be an asshole in order to get it done.

Garcia/Goodwin/Hamilton/Engel

Engel, Goodwin, Hamilton, Garcia, etc.

Guys overperforming their career numbers?

Part of the reason the Sox won that championship was because of Cliff Pollitte and Neal Cotts, two guys that had great seasons that sucked before and after that season. The Sox needed 3 closers that year, most teams that go through 3 closers don't make the playoffs. The dropped 3rd strike, the HBP that was actually a foul ball, etc.

And the team that missed the playoffs the following season and lost 90 games 2 seasons later.

It's baseball, you can luck your way into a championship. See: 2005 Sox and 2006 Cardinals.

Smoke and mirrors.

You can't win if you don't score.

Cleveland has had a much more difficult schedule so far. Wait until August and September when both teams are healthy and the Sox are playing Oakland and the Yankees while Cleveland is playing KC and Minnesota.

The Sox are not really good, that's where we disagree. They're winning the division by ownership forfeit. The offense is terrible most nights, and so is the bullpen. Rodon/Lynn/Giolito have been carrying the team.

It's not that Cleveland is as good as the Sox, as it is the Sox are almost as bad as Cleveland. Never forget 2005. They had a 15 game lead on August 1 and it was shrunk to 0.5 by September 15th.

Two hard hit balls in a row+Benintendi up.
