I honestly feel p good about next year. They’re playing well enough to snap the FO into go time mode one would hope. Edited May 12, 20196 yr by mqr
May 12, 20196 yr Giolito looked terrific again. Good for him. Only downer was Moncada 0-5 with three strikeouts, now down to .277. Alonzo is Adam Dunn 2.0 Both are left handers, both are making a lot of money, both usually hit under .200 and their only worth is hitting home runs. He hit one today but this is still a big mistake by Hahn unless he somehow turns things around. Maybe start going the other way to beat the shift and start raising his average?

A really nicely played game. I never had one moment when I felt we might lose. I haven't given up on this year getting interesting. We only have Minnesota and Cleveland to beat. Stuff can happen as were seeing with McCann, Tilson, Bummer, Gio and others.

Other than playing 1B Adam Dunn and Yonder Alonso couldn‘t have more different hitter profiles. Usually hit under .200 is also a blatant lie. I am no Yonder fan but this ridiculous.

Its remarkably effective instead of trying to give verbal cues or doing random drills. Edited May 12, 20196 yr by southsideirish71

Alonzo makes decent contact. Dunn could not keep up with all of the flame throwers.

May 13, 20196 yr Big homestand coming up for the Sox. Hopefully they can go 4-2 before they play Houston and Minnesota
May 13, 20196 yr We didn't win many clean games like this on the road last year so maybe we're getting a little better. Hopefully. ...
