August 25, 20196 yr We win 2-0, our 2nd shutout win in the last 5 games (and 3rd shutout played in that span). We take 3 of 4 from a poor Texas team. On the other hand, they have a better record than we do, so maybe we're making progress. Not pretty the last 2 games: 5 errors (3 of them by Anderson) and 1-21 with runners in scoring position. Hey, you can't have everything.
August 25, 20196 yr Nice to see one of these winners threads again. I was wondering if I didn't make them how long it would take before someone else does one. Last 3 wins there wasn't one. I like making them as a chronicling of the win but thought this late in the season in another losing year that maybe they pon't serve much of a purpose so I stopped. But I do like when the 1st page is filled with 3 or 4 of them.
August 25, 20196 yr Jose Abreu tags his 100th rbi. Hes now in second in the AL, and 3 behind Devers for the lead. 120+ rbi season is in striking distance. He will surely top his career high, barring injury. Edited August 25, 20196 yr by Buehrle>Wood
August 25, 20196 yr Great pitching. Jon Jay now has an OPS below that of both Yolmer and Engel. Bring back Cordell, bring up Mercedes...something.
August 25, 20196 yr Gutsy win by Lopez, his dehydration was due to the flu. Guy had an IV in him yesterday!

I usually try to find the time to check out the "that's a Sox Winner" thread after every W. It's just good to see them.
August 26, 20196 yr That was a great Sox win! Awesome pitching and just enough runs. Good Teams win these games, can’t all be offensive blowouts.

He will surely top his career high, barring injury. But we still have to cherry pick on why he sucks. I think it's great he got that many RBIs with the clean up hitter having an avg. only shared by NL pitchers.

I'm beginning to many just want to be miserable. It's interesting the pointless debates during game threads instead of enjoying the game.
August 26, 20196 yr Pitching staff with an awesome week. Wonder who the coach is or did all the HS coaches come in for a visit.
