I hate that this game isn’t tied. Heck, I hate that we’re not up 5 to 4.

Sky is falling and the emperor has no clothes on, after all.

The sky isn’t falling? The emperor has clothes on??

Exactly.

Fixed.

You’re too new around here to have acquired Post Traumatic Sox Disorder. Thank you for the reassurance. I need it and hate being a part of the negative Nancy crowd, even if it’s just for a game or series.

Jose earned that strike out, twice.

Guess I’ll just start rooting for the Indians this series, maybe that’ll work.

Lopez tomorrow. Bieber going against Giolito Wednesday according to some. This is why this series coming out of Cincy scared me. I’m usually not in the pessimistic camp and hope they can turn this around but I’m feeling the doom along with the gloom.

Sox have bases loaded, no runs. Hopefully we can match them and strand these guys. ? Talk about never fucking mind.

Yup yup. Very true brother.

This text is red.

It does not for the division necessarily but to me it matters because we need to start seeing improvements in our sore spots NOW because this is exactly what game competition will be like come next week. Exciting times.

Sets them up even better to win 1 - 3 or better of the four, since Lopez tomorrow is in their favor regardless.

Play like we did in Minnesota and we split or better. Play like we did in Cincy and we could easily get swept.

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.
