hogan873 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Jack Flaherty was bullied by Jose Abreu and his own defense and chased from the game early. Meanwhile, Lucas Giolito stuck his tongue out at his friend and former teammate and had another great outing. Liam Hendriks came out in the ninth with the based loaded and said, "Crikey, this sure is a dog's breakfast!" and promptly struck out the side. It was a good evening on the southside, complete with a record cup snake. Now it's time to break out the brooms and sweep the cardinals back to St. Louis. John Gant (3-3, 2.04 ERA) vs. Carlos Rodon (5-1, 1.27 ERA) Let's go Sox! 2 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter what the Cubs do. They are not good enough to win anything major. Focus on the Sox and regaining the best record in the AL. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I was wondering after last night if the quality of mlb defense was specifically awful this year as its offense is. https://www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stat/errors-per-game Turns out no. Errors per game are at .58, which puts it at the lowest of last three years and middle of the pack the last 6. It just happens that the Sox have been horrible with errors while also playing a schedule mostly consisting of teams in the back half of errors per game.

ScootsMcGoots Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Guys, we are in first place the end of May and are about to sweep another first place team. Let that sink in....think about the last 10-12 years of shitty baseball, and just relish these days we have right now. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't move him at the deadline it's a giant mistake. They aren't going to pay him this offseason. Even though they have a shot in a weak NL Central he gives them a chance to get some quality prospects back for their rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COVID really destroyed that, as not a lot of teams were willing to pick up cash, and the Cubs weren't in the situation where they could retain it either. That said, I would love Jerry to pick up that contract for a pretty small return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like Yankees dominated them all 3 games (besides Saturday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
