Guess we could see Bummer then most likely by the 23rd at the earliest?

He will always carry a high BABIP because he doesn’t hit the ball hard every time. There has been extensive research that actually shows soft contact hitters can carry a higher BABIP if they are in Madrigal’s mold. The history actually suggests their batting average closely mirrors a slightly higher BABIP. It makes sense too when you think of how many weak ground balls they leg out. With his defense, it’s only going to improve. Pencil him in for 2 to 3 WAR every year for 6 years. 12 to 18 WAR for a number 3 pick considering his peers is great.

Yea this series really has me scared.

Round and round Carson goes where he’ll stop nobody knows!

He had a couple really bad mistakes on the bases early on that accounts for much of that. Dude will be fine but certainly isn’t the burner with a 70 grade we were promised.

Both you and Sonofa have compelling points.

Really would love a win here to calm my PTSD ( Post Traumatic Sox Disorder ) and set us up going into tomorrow’s lopsided affair.

We can’t in any way count on Pittsburg to win any games in the final series. ?

Welcome to Soxtalk.

In that circumstance, Cleveland might win the division.

I have come to diagnose myself as having PTSD... Post Traumatic Sox Disorder.

I think that on this ESPN broadcast one of the commentators is Arod. He’s so pretentious you can hear it in his voice on every play.

Just checked in again... I can't believe it's only 2 - 0.

This text is red.

The new IP Board wysiwyg doesn’t make it as easy as it was before.

Cubs lucky to get out there only giving up one and hopefully Darvish is straightened out after striking out the last two batters, leaving the bases loaded. This is such a strange game to watch. Can both teams lose? I’m done.

My disdain for them goes along that path as well.

Twins up early in Chicago. 1 to 0 in the top of the first. One out - bases loaded.

Yea, it hasn’t come in the form we expected but the pace of wins seems like we’re right on track for the most popular selections in this poll. Either 10 - 7 ( 4 and 3 in the remaining games ) or 9 - 8 ( 3 and 4 in the remaining games).

Knowing the tone of posters here on an individual case by case basis comes with time. ?

He’s being sarcastic based on how Soxtalk game threads are historically pessimistic if the team is losing or loses.

Three very good and realistic hopes. ???

What are you all hoping to see over these final 7 regular season games? List out your top three aspirations specifically. Please don’t included obvious items like winning or winning the division. For me it is... 1.) Luis Robert makes adjustments finally and becomes the monster he was in July and August. 2.) Tim Anderson shows his injury today to be insignificant and finishes strong. 3.) The trio of Dunning, Giolito, and D.K. all at least give us quality starts.

6 - 4 over the first 10 with 7 remaining.

7 games left. 3 up in the division. Finish strong.
