tray Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 A 2-2 split in Texas would be OK. It will be hard to get 3 there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colome's Hat Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 A good 10 game stretch likely wins the division for them. I know the Twins got better but they still don't stack up on paper to what the Sox have. Both Lynn and Gio looked really good in their starts.

wegner Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I'm not condoning the lack of moves by this statement, but Diekman has been quite good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Fireworks Man Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Don't stop now boys. Time to put the pedal to the metal and not let up. It's a sprint to get to the playoffs, don't treat it like a marathon any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lynn and Gio can keep it up, with Cease, Kopech and Cueto, and relievers stay healthy the Sox have the best overall pitching vs Twins and Guardians. This should keep us in the hunt. We need to score more runs and hit more homers. Can’t afford any more bases loaded and no outs and score no runs like today. Need better defense as well. We also have a problem to overcome, TLR and his coaching staff is one of the worse in the majors. It is going to be tough, but it is achievable because pitching wins games.

They are fortunate to be in the Central, but they do have some talent. I just wish they would use that talent more often and stop running themselves out of innings. A grand slam once in a while would also help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, firing Menechino would improve this team so much and actually make TLR a lot more bearable. A lot of the stuff we get on TLR on is a symptom of not being able to hit home runs. We start hitting the ball out of the park and the TLR stuff becomes moot. At least my two cents. I don't know what the fuck is keeping Menechino. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There, I said it. not a chance. look at their h2h vs Cleveland for a big reason why. bc they are inferior in just about every category, not just compared to Cleveland but compared to the top 8 teams in the AL. Sox are fortunate to be playing in the AL central, but that still won't get them the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally that the players would be like, good call coach! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally that the players would be like, good call coach! I don't think this is the case. But I think Menechino's approach is awful with the new baseball that's being used. With the juiced ball, it was fine. But all you have to do is look at the Groundball rates to see the problems. Home runs are down but I do think the approach Menechino has employed is particularly bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get a good lefty bullpen piece for McGuire was a good trade. Maybe takes Hahn's deadline grade from an F to a D-. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
