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.

The benefit (and downside) of age is that with time comes acceptance. 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.

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.

🤔Is that a confession?

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

If 5th worst team in baseball gets them to the top of the AL Central....so be it.
