PaleAleSox Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Love getting a win going into an off day. Should have won 2 of 3. Didn’t look outclassed at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a very competitive series. Nice to see. Blew some games but we're a bad team. If we are going to be bad at least be competitive most of the time until the inevitable error or bad pitching performance late. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Mite Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I was hoping for 1 win in NY so no tears, now on to Baltimore where I’d like to win at least 2. Plesac brought up how competitive the team has been, did some homework and they are 8-10 since the KC series and we could have easily won 3 games in that series. I still think they will win at least 65 games. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vargas up to a 118 wRC+ and into the top 60 or so in fWAR in MLB. He's only .1 fWAR behind Ely De La Cruz. Funny game, baseball.

Autumn Dreamin Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 When is the last time Sox batters had 18 walks in a 3 game set? They saw almost 200 pitches in this game. Legitimately like two swings away from a series win here, and maybe 1 more away from a sweep. Former Mets Houser and Vasil combined for 9 scoreless innings in the series. Holding Soto hitless is pretty impressive for this staff overall. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not happening, but I'll give you we won't break our own record or come close to the Rockies. I'll go with we win 58. Which would be enough to give Getz a passing grade imo. that's where we are at. cue alonzo_mourning.gif Edited May 29 by chitownsportsfan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 (edited) Beni is hitterish. He makes a difference in the lineup. Some opposing GM could steal a very good ballplayer. He's our all star pick right now folks. He might even get an at bat in the game. Edited May 29 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I hope he gets hotter than s%*#. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately he makes too much Sox many and they'd gladly take a warm body in A ball and a semi prospect in AA just to keep their cheapass small market habitually losing reputation.

When Vaughn comes back Beni will probably go back to left field and Vargas to 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been way too inconsistent and injured to believe that he's going to take off and be a great trade piece. Now, if he can stay healthy and keep hitting, the Sox may be able to get a bag of good baseballs and a coupon for free nachos from a team willing to take on his contract. That would be a win.
