At least Sunday is a guaranteed loss. I'll be happy with 1 out of 3 TBH.

That will be the game we win because baseball.

0.5 GB of the Giants for the 2nd pick

2.5 GB of the Phillies for the 1st pick

I really want a top 2 pick

Sox 9-14

Giants 8-12

 

That'll do it. Giving them a couple wins this weekend would help a lot.

A couple wins from the Giants only moves the needle one game. A sweep would be 3.

Basically in september is when I flip the switch and legit do not want to win games. Earlier in the year, let the chips fall where they may.

Obviously, but it's hard to assume any team is going to sweep another team at any time--especially on the road. That would be a pretty awesome though.

 

I just hope Giolito pitches well, and then the bullpen gives it up. After that, the rest of the weekend is gravy.

This series is not going to result in a sweep, one way or the other.

We are 1.5 GB of the Phillies.

He means the Sox have to be 2.5 games worse with the remaining schedule to have a higher pick.

Anyone paying attention to the home/road schedules? It seems to have gone unnoticed but the Sox odds have quietly improved by that alone recently.

 

For quite a while, the Sox had played far more games on the road than at home, especially compared to the Phillies and Giants. However, in the last couple of weeks or so, that has flipped and the Sox have now have played three more at home. Check out the total games home vs away so far:

 

CHW 71H, 68R

PHI 65H, 75R

SF 70H, 72R

 

It isn't insignificant that now the Sox must play more games on the road than the others, especially Philadelphia, who will be getting ten more home games than road games down the stretch.

June: Bring up Giolito to help with the tank

September: shut down Giolito to help the tank

Phillies sched:

3 at Was

3 vs Mia

3 vs Oak

4 vs LA

3 at Atl

3 vs Was

3 vs NYM

 

Not out of the question they go 10-12. That would be 99 losses.

 

The Sox would have to go 8-15 the rest of the way.

No matter what pick the Sox end up with from 1-3, they're going to have an opportunity to get a great player. It just comes down to selecting the right one. Enlightening, I know - but really.

 

What happens in the last 20 or so games happens.

Shields and Fulmer are pretty bad. Giolito has been good but he's a rookie so who knows what we get

Gio is due to lay an egg, he would have a couple good games followed by a s*** show the last few months.

 

 

I think tonight's game is the Sox best chance for a win and I'm not all that confident in this offense against Moore. Despite shark bait pitching Saturday, he's still opposed by James f***ing Shields, ugh. Sunday is Bumgarner, LMAO. Definitely potential or a sweep if the Sox don't put up some offense this weekend.

On the other hand, the Giants offense.

Cmon 3-2 loss with dingers by TA & Moncada & 8IP by Gio.

Joe Panik on fire

:wub:

Sox moving up to 2, probably.

 

Phillies down 11-10 in the 9th.

Phillies lost, too bad.
