June 11, 20214 yr It Takes A Team ! Keuchel, Marshall, Heuer,Hendriks ! Mercedes, Abreu, Grandal, Engel, Anderson ! Edited June 11, 20214 yr by CaliSoxFanViaSWside
June 11, 20214 yr Subtracting the runs given away this series (5 last night, 1 tonight) Toronto earned just 3 runs, one in each game, this series. Excellent pitching against a dangerous lineup. Good bounce back tonight from last night. The team has been consistently professional this season. Don’t stop now, boys!

Our starters absolutely shut down a really good offense with the best hitter in baseball (Vlad). It's seriously impressive.
June 11, 20214 yr Yeah I wasn't counting on this win tonight, after losing yesterday I kind of thought it was a series loss. Keuchel really pitched well, 8 K's has to be a high for him over the past several years, right? I kind of like Yermin in the 2 hole with Grandal / Vaughn at 5/6. It puts our best 6 hitters at the top. No more Lamb in the 2 hole against RHP. Let's hit our best 6 in the top 6 in the order.
June 11, 20214 yr Nice job tonight....... We are going to need our parinahas to bite with the absence of Madrigal now. Really need mendick to step up. Leury is what Leury is...
June 11, 20214 yr I still believe in this bullpen. It's easy to focus on the bad because it is usually so glaring in high leverage spots but you've got to be able to step back and look at the talent and the full body of work
June 11, 20214 yr Didn’t get to watch tonight, big win following the shit show yesterday and Madrigals hamstring falling off his leg.
June 11, 20214 yr Sox are now 29-4 vs. LHP, 44-45 vs. RHP and 43-23 at Home, 30-26 on the Road since 2020. Smart playoff teams (thinking Tampa in the AL) with a LHS will use an RH Opener, especially in Chicago, see if Tony overcommits to the platoon split.

June 11, 20214 yr What a great series , watched all three highlights ignorant of the score , all three games could've gone either way , team power

Same, followed on phone notifications. Glad to hear Keuchel came back. For a team that didn't K much, blue jays really struggled against our staff. We have a damn good pitching staff, and while I'm a little worried about fades from Cease/Rodon, having guys like Giolito, Keuchel, Lynn makes me feel a lot more confident than other teams would be with their staffs that have been on training wheels for most of their careers.
June 11, 20214 yr I absolutely LOVE how pumped the bullpen gets after they get the final out in the late innings of these tightly contested ballgames. Gives me the tinglies. I effing hate how late these games go though. They seriously need to strongly consider starting at least at 6:30 central, next season. 6:00ish would be ideal.

Wasn't the game over before 10?
June 11, 20214 yr Between finishing up dinner and then getting little kids ready for/into bed, I typically can only catch the last inning or two of a 7PM start. Which more often than not means watching Hendriks dominate, which I'm okay with.

You can always move to China with Caulfield and the games will start at 7am instead of PM Edited June 11, 20214 yr by DoUEvenShift

This is what baffles me when Cleveland has games where they look like an offensive juggernaut against our staff. I’m guess ALC familiarity but their lineup is putrid and then Toronto looks pretty bad against us 3 straight games. also to your second point maybe it’s the meatball in me but I’m legit not worried about fade in Rodon. His stuff is next level this year. Cease a little more since he’s looked a vulnerable at times but the staff looks like when 1 guy has a lull another shoves to make up for it. The makings of something special right now.

They are this terrible offense that can't scrape three runs together vs. baltimore than faces us and puts up 8 spots.

Wow he's into the team winning. ...Sox have had some good closers. Hendriks is another. I applaud his work and his personality. Regarding your last point, people think we are outdated crabby fans, but baseball is about dead because of the length of games. The slow pace has killed the young generation of fans. Right now all baseball has going for it to the youth is the bat flip after a bomb. My solution is to fire all umps and start over with the rulebook and make the umps enforce the rules and be proud of the pace of their games. Current umps hate baseball, pure and simple. Their union has done a nice job getting them a good check.
