SCCWS Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 12 minutes ago, pettie4sox said: And the sox are doing while battling injuries galore. Do the Sox have the most injured club in the league? No. Based on IL listing they are about 8th or 9th . Texas, Tampa, Cubs,Tigers , to name a few. Sox may have more starters out though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southwest Sider Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Winning 1 run ballgames against good teams is very solid. Love the pitching so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitching and for the most part defense has been good. Some boneheaded stuff but some sharp baseball at times too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 6-2 through the first 8 games is tied for the best start in recent franchise history. Despite us winning a lot in 2020 and 2021, we started both years playing pretty poorly. 23-9 in 2006...

But 2005-06 SHOULD be the measuring stick for this team…and the division was 3x stronger back then. At the very least, they need home field advantage. Let the four AL East teams destroy each other.

He's running more which is what I was begging for last year.He's trying to keep Abreu from hitting into the DPs. You cant argue about BP usage very much because overall, despite the new arms like Crick, Sousa,Banks, Severino and the guys we had last year Foster , Ruiz, Lopez, Bummer, Hendriks only Bummer is looking bad while Hendriks is just a little off. Graveman is looking nails. Some have said it seems like we are shifting more , though I have no idea if its true. There's probably shifting info located somewhere online. Starting pitching has been above average. We get the daily Leury and lineup construction complaints but the results are good so far. Actually really good especially the pitching staff which is kind of shocking given the new arms and injuries. For the 1st 8 games there's not much to cry about.
