May 27, 20232 yr For a day at least, the Sox played like a really good team. Hit the s%*# out of the ball and easily papered over some defensive and pitching issues.
May 27, 20232 yr Author If we're going to keep winning 2/3 and turn this thing around we're certainly going to need Moncada, Vaughn and TA to produce like 3-5 WAR players. Tonight they did that. I don't know if that's what the back of their baseball card would project right now, but it's certainly what they are capable of if they can recognize what works for them as hitters. Moncada needs to stay aggressive, swing the bat and not always go so deep into counts. Vaughn needs to keep his hands under the ball and elevate. TA needs to pull the ball.

Will your bag come off if they get back to .500??

May 27, 20232 yr 3 triples ? Has to be a while since the Sox had 3 triples in a game. lucky to see 1 a month from the usually lame and slow footed Sox. Romy started a trend

May 27, 20232 yr I see the run differential is under 50. 50! At least its trending in the right direction.

Sometimes just having a game to turn into is enough to care, and if it becomes more than not, cool, if not, it was enough to just live it. These guys have played like bums most of my damn life, but for now they are playing pretty decent baseball, regardless of what happened three weeks ago or 15 year ago or hell, next week.
May 27, 20232 yr Twins lost. 5 out. Every A.L. East team now has a better record than every A.L. Central team. Should be a helluva pennant race.

May 27, 20232 yr Maybe the dugout just didn't see an angle they liked enough to challenge that play at home, but Pedro seems like he would want the team to be rewarded with a run that they earned even if they probably don't need it to win. Unless...that run would have put the Sox up 9-1, getting the Tigers to the 8-run deficit necessary to put position players on the mound. There are benefits to be had from taxing the pen of a team you play 5 more times over the next 9 days.

May 27, 20232 yr The Sox are still the 3rd worst team in baseball which is kind of bizarre considering they're 8-3 or whatever in their last 11 games
