Buddy and I talk baseball a couple times a week on lunch break, without fail for the last two months when he asks me how the sox are doing I just go "win 2, lose 3, win 1" or some variation on that. Hopefully.

Amazing how proper usage and asking guys to do what they can do as role players helps performance. That said, credit to both guys as individuals. Especially Beni, who could have just nailed it in these last two years. He stayed ready and it sure looks better for us fans (and I'm sure feels better for his body) with him as a platoon DH instead of an every day left fielder.

oh well, rest up.

Yea I saw that, looks pretty nice for them. Doubt they will draw many more but having a real air conditioned dome is a big issue and they finally will have it from what I read.

It's def an interesting area of politics with a lot of brain rot on both ends. In general development is good. There are cases where it's too much too fast, but in general without development cities would decay over time or at best stagnate. I've been part of it for the last 20 years of my life first in Brooklyn now in Seattle, it is disruptive at times, but I sure wouldn't want to live in neighborhoods going the other way. I saw Detroit, Flint, and the entire SE MI area depopulate growing up you don't want that!

The Jay Cuda chart he posted the other day was illustrative. Sox have least starts of 5+ innings from SP but also the best winning % when SP go 5 plus. We have a good offense but a mediocre at best rotation. The bullpen honestly has been pretty fucking good since the ASB. Yea we've blown a couple but also they've locked down (like last night) a few times and given us 3-4 scoreless.

Gonzo in Pitt: 203/220/392 for a 612 OPS and -.4 bWAR.

I mean at this point Stanton is like Robert + 6 years of age. He's never going to be healthy. Judge I think might sadly have some sort of chronic core issue. It sounds like it might be a cartilage issue, something you'd see like in a QB or something except in MLB you gotta play 6 times a week and can't just shoot up a shot on Sunday.

We need to go like 8-2 over a stretch and just put this thing to bed barring a massive collapse. That would put us 12 over .500 with like 25 to play. Just playing .500 would easily win the division from that point and probably 2-3 under would as well. Start by winning today. Mets aren't a dangerous team, they are a little hot, but they don't really have a balanced lineup or much pitching. That Yan guy stinks and he's one of their highest leverage arms right now. Just get into the pen, tack a few more on, and win like 6-4 again.
