Sosa was facing a HOF pitcher tonight, Kudos for Tony for playing him since kids to need some of that pressure of a division race which isn't happening in the minors. But Sosa isn’t a lefty or an outfielder. Sox need both. I‘D honestly rather see Leury at SS than Sosa right now. I wouldn’t rather see Sheets in RF than Colas even if Colas struggles at the plate a bit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cueto owns the Astros and the Sox aren’t phased by Verlander. Of course, Mccullers just returned and he’s the Sox kryptonite. I don’t know that we can say they’re a good matchup just yet, especially after last year. But they’re hardly unbeatable. Just need to get the offense going but I feel better about this year’s pitching than I did about last year’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they’re hardly unbeatable. Just need to get the offense going but I feel better about this year’s pitching than I did about last year’s. I think one thing is certain. The Sox may have been a better team last season but they peaked at the wrong time and Houston was a far worse matchup for the Sox last year than this year. It would be neat seeing the Sox start peaking now into October. Braves did the same thing last year and carried that momentum through the playoffs. Sometimes it’s not about who you play but when you play them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are far too quick to make definitive pronouncements about seasons that are still in progress. The story of this season is still being written.

Our pitching has been solid lately and is what has been carrying the team. Our D, base running, offense and manager still pretty much sucks, but maybe it’s turning the corner hopefully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most would have been thrilled to see the Sox split this series. To pick up 1.5 games on Cleveland while playing Houston and they’re playing Detroit is HUGE Going into the series yes. Now that we’ve taken the first 2 games, I’d be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed if we don’t win a third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I'm sure everyone noted that Sheets stayed in the game in the 9th for defensive purposes and Vaughn came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
