The next week we need real lineups and concentration. I don’t think the offense has been bad. Just not lucky. Engel hit the heck out of the ball, for instance. That’s baseball.

It is to any Sox fan who gets overconfident, lol...but probably only appreciated by those over 35 or 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we better than the Ray's if we take 2 out of 3, or do we need to sweep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always just have enough to win but then when you look at some of the stats you probably wonder why. We have more All-Star level players than they do. I'm still worried the most about the Yankees in that division and for me it's not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really looking at it as “better”, but hopefully the starting pitching continues to put up quality starts, and the Sox play good defense. And obviously, the bullpen doesn’t blow leads.

The Yankees are dead in the water without Severino being able to lead a second half charge...too many injuries, too tough a division to get through.

As soon as we go from an underdog to favorite mentality (see Goodwin quotes), that’s when the problems usually begin.

Have they struggled at times? Of course, but also has been some incredibly bad luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
